1. India’s Historic Lunar Landing: Chandrayaan-3’s Success

India has made history with the successful landing of its Chandrayaan-3 mission on the Moon's south pole, a region previously unexplored by any nation. On August 23, 2024, the Vikram lander touched down, making India the first country to achieve this milestone.

The mission's primary objectives include studying the lunar surface, searching for water ice, and conducting scientific experiments that could shed light on the Moon’s origins. The Pragyan rover has already begun its exploration, sending back high-resolution images and data that are expected to provide unprecedented insights into this enigmatic part of the Moon.

2. NASA’s Artemis Program: Preparing for Moon to Mars


NASA’s Artemis program continues to gain momentum as it gears up for the Artemis III mission, which aims to return humans to the Moon by 2025. Recently, NASA announced the successful testing of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which will be the most powerful rocket ever built.

Artemis III will not only land the first woman and the next man on the Moon but will also lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars. The mission’s success will be a pivotal step in NASA’s long-term goal of establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon, creating a launchpad for deep-space exploration.

🌌 Signs of Life Beyond Earth? Scientists Detect Potential Biosignatures on Distant Exoplanet

Image
For decades, the question “Are we alone in the universe?” has lingered at the edge of human curiosity. In April 2025, that question took a dramatic leap toward an answer. Astronomers analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have detected potential signs of life on an exoplanet called K2-18b , located about 124 light-years away in the constellation Leo. This marks one of the most compelling discoveries in the search for extraterrestrial life — and the implications are staggering. 🪐 What is K2-18b? K2-18b is no ordinary exoplanet. It's what scientists call a "Hycean" planet — a type of exoplanet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a potentially water-covered surface. It’s over twice the size of Earth and orbits within the habitable zone of its star, meaning it’s at just the right distance to support liquid water — a key ingredient for life as we know it. 🔬 The Discovery: Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) Using the JWST's powerful instruments, researchers d...
