The researchers had more good news in store. Another rare species, the ‘Dark Cerulean’, was spotted at least thrice between October 2018 and February 2019 in two different places in Delhi. This species was last spotted in the late 90s and before that in 1985. Both Common Lineblue and Dark Cerulean are usually found in the Himalayan foothills. The resurfacing of the two rare species have prompted researchers and lepidopterologists in the city to speculate that the city’s floral diversity could be changing, attracting new butterfly species from adjoining places. A rare butterfly species ‘Common Lineblue’, which was last seen in 1962 in Delhi, has resurfaced in the national capital after a gap of over half a century, and was spotted by researchers from Delhi University in August 2018.

Chief Antonio Guterres has expressed sadness at the displacement of people and destruction of property due to the heavy monsoon rains in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar and said the world body stands by to provide support.
16 July 2019: 10:11 AM IST: Sanskrit unifies Bharat, promote it: RSS leaders to PM Modi. Samskrita Bharti also honoured 47 newly elected members of Lok Sabha, including Union Ministers Harsh Vardhan, Pratap Sarangi, Ashwini Chaubey and Shripad Yesso Naik. All these MPs had taken the oath of secrecy in Sanskrit. Ambedkar told his followers that Vyas, Valmiki and even Kalidas, the great poets of Sanskrit, were not Brahmins. Sanskrit elevates a human being, it unifies Bharat. Sanskrit, the language is also being researched and taught in 40 countries and 254 universities across the world, including China.
17 July, 2019: 20h:42m: 15 hours ago: The partial lunar eclipse, which is said to be the last of 2019, started at around 1.31 am and will be ending before dawn on Wednesday. The eclipse gradually grew and was at its peak at 3 am and it exactly seemed as if a chunk of the Moon has been bitten off. Apart from India, the eclipse was witnessed in regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America. According to the Hindu tradition, no religious or auspicious practice is performed at the time of the lunar eclipse. Going by this tradition, many famous temples across the country also remain closed for darshan during the period. At it’s maximum, the Moon will be about 65% covered. Partial phases for the July 16th eclipse last 2 hours, 57 minutes and 56 seconds, while the entire eclipse including penumbral phases will last at total of 5 hours, 33 minutes and 43 seconds in duration. Key times for the partial lunar eclipse in Universal Time (UT) to the nearest minute are as follows: P1-Enters the penumbra: 18:44 UT: U1-Enters the umbra: 20:02 UT: U4-Quits the umbra: 23:00 UT: P4-Quits the penumbra: 00:18 UT (July 17th).
July 17, 2019: 8:22 PM: Updated 31 minutes ago: Latest hot spell set to deepen drought pain in France. Hot weather in France next week is expected to prolong drought conditions that have impacted several sectors including nuclear power generation and farming, and led to restrictions on water use in 61 administrative regions. A corn field affected by drought is pictured in Montbert near Nantes, France July 16, 2019. The hot weather and lack of rainfall throughout the year have led to very low levels of groundwater, which contributes to the volume and flow of rivers. When groundwater decreases and there is no rainfall, rivers dry up. The situation was more critical in the Loire, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes and Burgundy regions in central and eastern France. The Rhone River has been severely impacted. There has been very little rainfall in the region over the past three winters. The changes enabled the plants to cut water use, while ventilation systems were added to reduce the impact of high temperatures.

Jul 17, 2019: 15:01 IST: 4 pilgrims injured as glacier collapses in Himachal. The landslide owing to heavy rains has blocked routes, forcing authorities to temporarily halt the pilgrimage that began on July 15. The pilgrims negotiate rugged, cold and inhospitable terrain, which takes at least three days and conclude their journey at the Shrikhand Mahadev peak where they pay obeisance to the 72-foot tall Shiva lingam. Devotees believe that Lord Shiva meditated in Shrikhand and the Pandavas too had trekked to the peak during their 12-year exile. No devotee is allowed to scale the Shrikhand Mahadev peak, situated at an altitude of 17,600 feet, without medical examination.

July 17, 2019: 0913 GMT (1713 HKT): More than 60 years later, researchers at Columbia University say radiation on four of these atolls remains alarmingly high -- in some areas ten to 1,000 times higher than radioactive areas near the Chernobyl powerplant, which exploded in 1986, and Fukushima, where an earthquake and tsunami caused a nuclear disaster in 2011. Analysing soil samples, researchers found concentrations of americium-241, cesium-137, plutonium-238, and plutonium-239,240 on 11 islands across the four northern atolls. The population of the Marshall Islands is relatively small, with just over 75,000 people living on the chains as of July 2018. It is a combination of islands and atolls, which are usually circular islands ringing a wide lagoon or coral reef.

Jul. 22, 209: 2 hours ago: Physicists Have Reversed Time on The Smallest Scale by Using a Quantum Computer. Schrödinger's equation is reversible. "Mathematically, it means that under a certain transformation called complex conjugation, the equation will describe a 'smeared' electron localising back into a small region of space over the same time period." Each of these states, or qubits, was arranged into a simple state which corresponded to a hand holding the ball. Once the quantum computer was set into action, these states rolled out into a range of possibilities. By tweaking certain conditions in the computer's setup, those possibilities were confined in a way that effectively rewound the Schrödinger equation deliberately. the algorithms they used to manipulate the Schrödinger equation into rewinding in this way could help improve the accuracy of quantum computers. It's not the first time this team has given the second law of thermodynamics a good shake. A couple of years ago they entangled some particles and managed to heat and cool them in such a way they effectively behaved like a perpetual motion machine. Finding ways to push the limits of such physical laws on the quantum scale just might help us better understand why the Universe 'flows' like it does.

Fig.2 Indian Space Research Rocket launched 22 July 2019
afternoon around 2:34PM.
From its launch to the soft landing, the entire mission is set to take about 58 days. After the launch, it will take 16 days to raise the orbit and then five days to reach the moon’s orbit. Once there, it will make an orbit around the moon for 27 days, before the lander makes an attempt to de-orbit. After four more days, the lander will land in a difficult manoeuvre that lasts 15 minutes. The rover and the lander will have a life of one lunar day (14 earth days) and for that lunar day, it will conduct scientific experiments. The orbiter, however, has a life of one year. The first landing pictures may be available within 15 minutes of the lander touching down. However, it will take four hours from the time of landing to the time the rover comes out from the lander. India will use the Deep Space Network of the US space agency on payment basis for navigation and guidance. The mission carries 13 Indian scientific instruments for experiments. Imaging of rock will be done to find elements like magnesium, calcium and iron and also for signs of water. Mission will also study the exosphere of the moon. GSLV-Mk III will also be used for India’s manned space mission slated in 2022.

Jul 25, 2019: 4:42 pm IST: Records tumble in Belgium, Germany, Netherlands: Europe heatwave. Belgium registered an all-time high of 39.9 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) at the Kleine-Brogel military base, beating a record that dated back to June 1947. In Germany the temperature soared to 40.5C (104.9 F) in western Geilenkirchenthe, surpassing the previous record of 40.3 (104.5). In the Netherlands, 38.8C at Gilze-Rijen, in the south, displaced a record dating back 75 years. The second heatwave in less than a month has focused new attention on climate change and a host of French cities broke records on Tuesday. Wine capital Bordeaux hit 41.2 C (106.16 F) while the central city of Vichy climbed to 41.3 C (106.3 F). Paris is facing its hottest day on Thursday with the French capital's 70-year-plus record of 40.4 C (104.7 F) forecast to fall.
25 July 2019: Hot weather cuts French, German nuclear power output. Electricity output was curtailed at six reactors by 0840 GMT on Thursday, while two other reactors were offline, data showed. High water temperatures and sluggish flows limit the ability to use river water to cool reactors. In Germany, Preussen Elektra, the nuclear unit of utility E.ON, said it would take its Grohnde reactor offline on Friday due to high temperatures in the Weser river. The second heatwave in successive months to hit western Europe is expected to peak on Thursday with record temperatures seen in several towns in France. Utility EDF, which operates France's 58 nuclear reactors, said that generation at its Bugey, St-Alban and Tricastin nuclear power plants may be curbed until after July 26 because of the low flow rate and high temperatures of the Rhone. Its two reactors at the 2,600 megawatt (MW) Golfech nuclear power plant in the south of France were offline due to high temperatures on the Garonne river.

27 July, 2019: Gravity results from how mass warps space and time. The greater an object's mass, the stronger its gravitational pull. Researchers might discover violations of general relativity that could lead to new theories that might help explain cosmic mysteries such as dark matter and dark energy. Our observations are consistent with Einstein’s theory of general relativity. However, his theory is definitely showing vulnerability. It cannot fully explain gravity inside a black hole, and at some point we will need to move beyond Einstein's theory to a more comprehensive theory of gravity that explains what a black hole is.
