June. 02, 2021: The small hole in the arm was spotted May 12. Robotic operators noticed a hole in the station's Canadarm2 provided by the Canadian Space Agency,  which has been in service in orbit since 2001, during a routine inspection on May 12, the CSA officials said in a blog post Friday (May 28). Officials called the hole a "lucky strike" given the relatively small size of the arm, which is 57.7 feet (17.6 meters) long and has a diameter of just 14 inches (35 cm). The size of the hole is not apparent in the pictures, nor if the debris went all the way through. However, it does appear Canadarm2's role in keeping the space station properly maintained can continue without interruption,

Hyderabad residents were in for a pleasant surprise on Wednesday (June 2) when a rare sun halo was seen in the sky. Also known as the "22-degree circular Halo", it is an unusual optical solar spectacle that happens when the sun's or moon's rays get refracted/deflected through the hexagonal ice crystals in the cirrus cloud. The rainbow-coloured halo surrounding the sun as the striking circular rainbow ring was reportedly visible from most parts of the capital of Karnataka.The residents of Bengaluru were in for a pleasant surprise when many of them witnessed a bright ring around the sun.

The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal researchers have recently discovered a new species of plant belonging to the African Violets family in Mizoram and adjacent areas in Myanmar. Along with other discoveries by the IISER Bhopal research team in the past few years, this discovery shows that the biodiversity of the Northeastern parts of India is understudied and there are many species of plants that remain undiscovered. This discovery is an outcome of extensive fieldwork across northeast India coupled with rigorous study of past collections kept in herbariums across the world.

India has only 4% water share of the world's fresh rain water share resource. When India became independent , the availability of water was 5,000 literes per head now it has only 1,100 litres a sudden decline due to human and cattle population growth. India has 18% of  world's human population and 18% of cattle population of the world. Agriculture is consuming nearly 85% of the water. He high-lighted the shrinking of rivers, amd lauded the river linking projects stressing that such projects are environmental friendly. Repleshing water sources in forests where major rivers originate in India. We decided to agument water and fodder in jungles so that animals don't come out of their habitate.

India has witnessed a change in monsoon pattern over the years as climate disruptions take a toll on the system in the subcontinent. The team drilled 200-meter long core samples during a two-month research tour on a converted oil-drilling ship, the JOIDES Resolution. The samples provided an in-depth analysis of monsoon rainfall. Scientists analysed the fossils of plankton embedded in the sample that had died over hundreds of years as monsoon rains put more freshwater into the bay, reducing the salinity at the surface.

Fig.11 The Coffee Tree in Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
The species has been named Pyrostria laljii after Lal Ji Singh, Joint Director and Head of Office, Andaman and Nicobar Regional Centre, Botanical Survey of India. “While the genus Pyrostria is not found in India, there are several genera from the family Rubiaceae that are common in India. These plants, including cinchona, coffee, adina, hamelia, ixora, galium, gardenia, mussaenda, rubia, morinda, have high potential for economic value. More studies should be carried out to ascertain whether Pyrostria laljii could have some economic value,” Dr. Singh said. Other physical features that distinguish the tree from other species of the genus is its umbellate inflorescence with 8-12 flowers. The colour of the flowers varies from white to cream, and turns brown after pollination. The fruit drupes of the tree are obovoid or subglobose, green to yellow or white, when mature turning pale yellow to brown. Mr. Naik pointed out that the discovery is unique as the species is a big tree and yet had not been recorded as a new species. The other places are Tirur forest near the Jarawa reserve forest and the Chidia Tapu, Munda Pahar, forest. (Published in Journal of Annales Botanici Fennici''')
