Apr. 16, 2023: Could It Be An Alien World? Movement Of A Star Indicates Signs Of A New Exoplanet. Sejal Jakhwal • Yesterday 1:13 pm.  In his recent milestone-hunting experience, Currie discovered a rare view of an alien planet with his technique of direct imaging. Dr. Thayne Currie leads an international group of scientists that recently identified a star with a planetary companion combining indirect detection with a ground-based direct imaging technique.  The planet is now referred to as HIP 99770 b and is a directly imaged superjovian extrasolar planet orbiting the dusty A-type star HIP 99770, 

Apr. 16, 2023:  Solar storms and asteroids gave Mercury a comet-like tail; Can the same happen to Earth?• Yesterday 10:56 am. It turns out, the Earth is not the only planet to be assaulted by incessant solar storm disturbances. The planet closest to the Sun, Mercury, is also being bombarded by solar storms on a regular basis. In fact, things are worse for Mercury. The planet is currently nearing its perihelion (the point in the orbit closest to the Sun) and is suffering from a high solar activity from an extremely close distance. On top of that, micro asteroids have plagued the planet. Together, they have given it a terrifying comet-like tail which can be a very confusing sight for astronomers. But the bigger question is, does the same fate await the Earth?  A picture of Mercury with its tail was captured by Sebastian Voltmer from Spicheren, France, and posted on Instagram. In the picture, a plume of gas flowing behind the planet can be seen, which was likely heated up to extremely high temperatures, giving the tail-like appearance.

Forgotten Places of Mumbai: A walk through the 1st century BCE Mahakali Caves. Was this content a good use of your time?  The Kondivita caves, popularly referred to as the Mahakali caves, are a collection of 19 caves that were excavated between 1st century BCE and 6th century CE out of a solid mountain of black basalt rock in the Mumbai suburb region of Andheri East. Two distinct cave kinds exist here. Buddhist prayer rooms-called Chaityas, and monk cells called Viharas. Due to the fact that the caverns were made of basalt - a volcanic rock formed from trap breccias, they are vulnerable to weathering. For this reason, numerous statues and walls have been damaged. In addition to their matt black appearance, rock-cut cistern patterns can be seen all around the cave walls. These finely carved out caves date back to the Ashokan Empire. Buddhist monks may have used these caves as evidenced by the presence of a stupa. The caves were used as homes and meditation spaces by Buddhist monks for more than 2,000 years. On the walls are texts written in Pali, a language older than Sanskrit. According to the inscription, the Vihara at Mahakali was donated by a person from Paspauli, which is located a few kilometres from the caves. The caves served as an active monastery connected to Kanheri from the 1st century BCE to the 12th century CE and was sustained by donations from the neighbourhood. One of the stupas that was initially constructed as a Buddhist memorial fell from the caves to the foothill, and was revered as a Hindu lingam statue, worshipped as the Mahakali Mandir.

The recent decision of the Modi government to remove select chapters from history textbooks of school students is worrying. Not only does it expose the BJP government’s narrow understanding of history but also uncovers its design to distract the public from real issues. Evidently, they are more interested in manipulating the past to fit a political agenda rather than improving the present and future of India. This move sets a dangerous precedent. It’s a slippery slope that can lead to the erasure of collective memory and the suppression of alternative voices and perspectives.

Apr. 28, 2023: Hot springs are a fascinating natural phenomenon that occur in many different parts of the world. They can be found in locations with volcanic activity, where magma or hot rock heats up the groundwater deep below the Earth's surface. This heated water then rises to the surface through cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust, forming hot springs.  The temperature of hot springs can vary depending on the location and the depth of the water. Some hot springs are extremely hot and can reach temperatures of over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, while others are cooler and more comfortable for bathing. The color and composition of the water can also vary, with some hot springs containing minerals like sulfur, iron, and magnesium that give them their unique hues and healing properties. People have been using hot springs for centuries for their therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Many cultures believe that hot springs can help to ease sore muscles and joints, improve circulation, and reduce stress and anxiety. Some hot springs have even been used for medical purposes, such as treating skin conditions and respiratory ailments.
