The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) conducted a short-duration hot test of its semicryogenic engine at the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, on April 24, 2025. This marks the second major milestone after the first successful hot test on March 28, 2025. The test validated engine start-up procedures and is critical for

Global trade faces hurdles due to overlapping Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Introduced by economist Jagdish Bhagwati in 1995, the Spaghetti Bowl Phenomenon refers to this growing complexity. Countries sign multiple FTAs to boost trade, but differing rules—especially Rules of Origin (ROO)—make trade harder instead of easier. Asia and Latin America show how such overlap discourages

On April 21, 2025, veteran NASA astronaut Don Pettit safely returned to Earth aboard Soyuz MS-26. The landing in Kazakhstan marked the end of a 220-day ISS mission. Pettit turned 70 the same day, becoming the oldest serving U.S. astronaut to return from space. He now has 590 total space days across four missions. BulletsIn

A team at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics has, for the first time, accurately estimated Helium levels in the Sun’s photosphere. This breakthrough, published in Astrophysical Journal, was achieved by analyzing Magnesium and Carbon spectral lines—overcoming a long-standing challenge in solar physics.

A groundbreaking study has revealed that the Indian tectonic plate is not sliding smoothly beneath the Tibetan Plateau, as once thought. Instead, it’s warping and tearing apart below the Himalayas. This discovery comes just weeks after a major earthquake in Myanmar and reshapes scientific understanding of the region’s seismic and geological evolution. BulletsIn Indian Plate

On Friday, April 25, around 5:30 a.m. local time, a rare “smiley face” formation will appear in the sky. Venus, Saturn, and a crescent Moon will form a triangular pattern during a triple conjunction, visible just before sunrise. This unique sight will last for about an hour and can be seen worldwide with clear skies

India marks 50 years since launching Aryabhata, its first homegrown satellite, on April 19, 1975. Built by ISRO and launched from Russia during the Cold War, Aryabhata symbolized India’s bold step into space research. It laid the groundwork for future missions, despite challenges and a short operational life. BulletsIn India’s first satellite Aryabhata launched on
