Chandrayaan 2 will be launching at 2:43 pm today.

Chandrayaan-2 will be launched today with the most powerful rocket GSLV-Mark III-M1.The launch of Chandrayaan-2 from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Center, about 100 km from Chennai, will be launched on two-and-a-half minutes.

Scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) had stopped it at 1.55 pm after the announcement from Mission Control Room 56 minutes 24 seconds before the launch of the mission on 15 July. Many veteran scientists also praised ISRO for this step. ISRO chief Dr K Sivan said that all the preparations for the launch of Chandrayaan-2 have been completed.Whatever technical weaknesses were seen in the first attempt, it has been rectified.

Around 20 hours of countdown has started in Chandrayaan-2 from 6:53 am on Sunday evening. Chandrayaan-2 will work on 15 important missions in the coming days.ISRO was launching Chandrayaan-2 in October 2018 first. Later, its date was extended to January 3 and again to 31st January.

Later, due to other reasons, it was postponed until July 15 this year.Due to changes during this time, load of Chandrayaan-2 has also increased in advance.There were some changes in GSLV Mark 3 as well.

James Webb Space Telescope Opens New Frontiers in the Search for Life Beyond Earth.

This image illustrates a science-based artist’s impression of K2-18 b, a potentially habitable exoplanet 120 light-years away, orbiting a cool dwarf star in its habitable zone. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing the search for life beyond our solar system, offering humanity its most detailed look yet at distant, potentially habitable worlds. With its extraordinary infrared capabilities, Webb is not only detecting atmospheres on small rocky exoplanets but also probing their chemical makeup in search of biosignatures—clues that could hint at the presence of life. However, scientists caution that context is everything. Atmospheric data alone is not enough to confirm life; understanding a planet’s surface, interior, and broader environment is essential. Even detecting a potential biosignature, such as a gas possibly produced by biological processes, doesn’t equate to discovery. Multiple, independent lines of evidence would be needed to confirm such a find. “F...

Webb Telescope Reveals Tangled Rings and Dusty Chaos in Dying Star System NGC 1514.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the most detailed image yet of planetary nebula NGC 1514, revealing clumpy dust rings and clear holes in its vibrant pink core using mid-infrared light. A dying star’s final performance has been brought into sharp focus by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, revealing a cosmic display of tangled rings, drifting dust, and mysterious holes in the planetary nebula NGC 1514. This mesmerizing structure lies about 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus and has been evolving for at least 4,000 years. At the heart of the nebula are two tightly bound stars, orbiting each other every nine years, their light diffracted in Webb’s images like a celestial jewel. While the stars appear as one in mid-infrared light, they are central to the nebula’s complex architecture. One of these stars, once several times the mass of our Sun, ejected its outer layers in a slow, dense stellar wind as it aged. The other star’s close approach may have twi...

Depiction of the bipolar planetary nebula by the Hubble telescope.

About 32,000 light-years from Earth is a bipolar planetary nebula, known as M1-63, located in the small southern constellation of Scutum. Astronomers believe that such a nebula is formed when the star in its center sheds a large amount of material from its outer layers, leaving a brilliant cloud of gas and dust. At the center of the dipole nebula is a binary system of stars, capable of forming butterfly-like shapes. This is because the material of the shedding star is funneled towards its poles, with the help of a companion, the nebula forms a typical double-lobed structure, such as M1-63. NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope filters image M1-63 through F200W, F350W, F502W, and F814w, new image of M1-63 shows ultraviolet, near-infrared and optical parts of the spectrum in Hubble's wide field. This is illustrated with the help of Camera 3 (WFC3) comments.
