India Lands on the Moon! India’s moon lander successfully set its four legs softly and safely on the lunar soil on Wednesday evening as planned, and became the fourth nation in the world to achieve the feat. The lander landed near the South Pole of the moon after travelling about 3.84 lakh km for over 40 days. With the landing, a major portion of the Rs 600 crore Chandrayaan-3 mission has been realised. The remaining portion is the moon rover rolling down from the lander, moving around and doing the ...

Scientists detect 1st evidence of volcanic activity on Venus In a first, scientists have got direct geological evidence of recent volcanic activity on the surface of Venus. The discovery was made by analysing archival radar images of Venus taken more than 30 years ago, in the 1990s, by NASA's Magellan mission. The images revealed a volcanic vent changing shape and increasing significantly in size in less than a year. "I didn't really expect to be successful, but after about 200 hours of manually comparing the images of different M...
