NASA’s new space telescope James Webb has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared view of the distant universe ever captured. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is brimming with detail. For the first time, our view of the universe expanded. The first cosmic image from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope is the farthest in terms of time and distance that humankind has ever witnessed. On Tuesday, July 12, the telescope will release four more images of the beautiful galaxy. Webb’s first cosmic image has thousands of galaxies, including
On Monday, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh launched the 75th newly developed Artificial Intelligence technologies in the first-ever ‘Al in Defense’. The AiDef symposium and exhibition were a part ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebration which was organized by the Ministery of Defense in New Delhi. According to the government release, the celebration falls under multiple domains including Ai Platform Automation; Autonomous/Unmanned/Robotics system; Command; Block Chain-based Automation; Control, Communication, Computer & Intelligence, Cyber Security, Surveillance and Reconnais
On Wednesday, the researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras developed an Artificial Intelligence-based tool- PIVOT that can detect cancer-causing genes in individuals. As per WTO, cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. According to the institute, this tool will be beneficial for the strategic treatment of cancer which will predict genes that are responsible for causing it, and details are published in a peer-reviewed journal ‘Frontier in Genetics’. The statement read, “The prediction is based on a model that utilizes information on mutation, expression
Scientists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have found three subatomic particles, an unprecedented discovery, as they work to access the functionality of the building blocks of the universe, the European nuclear research center CERN said on Tuesday. The LHC at CERN, 27 kilometers (16.8 miles) long, is the machine that discovered the Higgs boson particle, which in combination with its linked energy field, is paramount to the creation of the universe after the Big Bang billions of years ago. Now CERN scientists say they have seen a new type of "pentaquark" and the first-ever p
A Virgin Orbit rocket bearing seven U.S. Defense Department satellites was launched from a special Boeing 747 that took off from the Southern California coast and dashed toward space Friday night. The transformed large airliner set out from Mojave Air and Space Port in the Mojave Desert and set free the rocket over the Pacific Ocean, northwest of Los Angeles. The U.S Space Force persuaded the launch of a Defense Department test program. The seven satellites will carry out several experiments. “And there we have it, folks!” the company’s note on Twitter read, just before 1
In an attempt to reduce or end CO2 emissions, the 27-member European Union approved and announced its plan early Wednesday to end the sale of combustion engine vehicles by 2035. The step put forward in July 2021 will put an end to sales of petrol and diesel cars and also light commercial vehicles, entirely shifting to electric engines in the European Union from 2035. The plan is meant to help fulfill Europe's climate objectives, mostly carbon neutrality by 2050. The plea of countries including Germany and Italy, the EU-27 also accepted to contemplate a future green light for the use
After the reforms in the Space sector, NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) launched GSAT-24 in its first "demand-driven" communication satellite mission. They leased the entire capacity on board to Direct-to-Home (DTH) service provider Tata Play. GSAT-24 is a Ku band communication satellite that has coverage for meeting DTH application needs across the country. Built by the Indian Space Research Organization for NSIL, the satellite, which weighs 4180 kgs, was positioned successfully into geostationary orbit by the Ariane 5 rocket, operated by Arianespace, a French Company from Kourou in French G
South Korea launched its first home-grown space rocket on June 21 in the country's second attempt, months after its first take-off proved unsuccessful to position a payload into orbit. If the mission is successful, South Korea will earn the reputation of becoming the 10th nation in the world to put a satellite into space with its domestically created technology. According to experts, the success of the launch would also boost the nation's increasing space ambitions and prove, especially to its rival North Korea, that it has the potential to create technology to build space-oriented surveil
SpaceX created a record in U.S. commercial space launch after launching a hat-trick of Falcon 9 rockets in just over 36 hours from California and Florida. The incredible spaceflight triple-header launches were carried out from Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg Space Force Station and placed communications, military, and Starlink satellites into orbit. According to a report from Space.com, the three launches in just 36 hours, makes it the quickest sequence of triple missions by any commercial launch company in history. On Friday, June 17, SpaceX launched 53 of its Starlink internet satellites f
US space agency NASA will launch three research rockets into space from a remote Australian private space port for scientific research. This will be NASA’s first blast off from a non-American commercial space port and first from Australia since 1995. The rockets will be launched from the Arnhem Space Center, near the mining town of Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory, between June 26 and July 12, said NASA and Equatorial Launch Australia, the owner of the launch pad. The aim of the mission is to investigate heliophysics, astrophysics, and planetary science phenomena which are observab
