  • Rogue Planet's Dazzling Auroras: The James Webb Space Telescope has made an astonishing discovery of intense auroral displays on the rogue planet SIMP-0136, which drifts through interstellar space without a star. Researchers found that these auroras, likely generated by an unseen moon, contribute to heating the planet's upper atmosphere, with temperatures soaring over 1500 degrees Celsius and clouds composed of silicate grains.
  • Astrosat Celebrates a Decade: India's first dedicated space astronomy observatory, Astrosat, marks ten years of operations, far exceeding its initial five-year mission. Launched in 2015, Astrosat has provided groundbreaking insights across various wavelengths, studying phenomena from black holes to distant galaxies, and celebrating its significant contributions to astrophysics.
  • Innovative Plasma Engines for Mars: Russian engineers have unveiled new plasma engines designed for deep space exploration, showcasing advancements in Hall Effect thrusters. These engines promise to revolutionize space travel, potentially reducing the journey to Mars to just a month and a half, significantly improving mission logistics and astronaut safety.
  • International Observe the Moon Night: Join NASA's International Observe the Moon Night on October 4, an exciting global event celebrating our connection with the Moon. With the Moon in a waxing gibbous phase, it's a perfect opportunity for stargazers to appreciate lunar features and participate in various activities, as millions around the world look up together.
