A celestial object, possibly a small star with a massive exoplanet, has been observed moving through the Milky Way at an extraordinary speed of over 1.2 million mph. The discovery has led researchers to believe that this could be the fastest planetary system ever detected. The object was first identified in 2011 through microlensing, a…

The second launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket is being targeted for late spring, as efforts are being made to enhance its landing capabilities. The 320-foot-tall rocket was first launched on January 16, 2025, from Florida’s Space Coast, successfully deploying a test version of the Blue Ring spacecraft into orbit. However, the booster stage…

Images captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover have shown rare iridescent clouds drifting across the Martian sky. These formations, observed in the planet’s twilight, were seen at high altitudes where sunlight still reaches them despite nightfall on the surface. The images were taken on January 17, using one of the rover’s onboard cameras, with individual frames…

Scientists have identified a potential link between genetic mutations and epigenetic clocks, shedding new light on the mechanisms behind biological aging. This discovery could reshape how aging is understood and measured. The study explores how DNA mutations accumulating over time may directly influence epigenetic changes, which are often used to estimate biological age. Researchers have…

Prowatch X by Lava was launched in India on Saturday, and the company’s latest smartwatch is equipped with a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen and is housed in an aluminium alloy frame. The wearable supports various health tracking features, such as SpO2 monitoring and heart rate variability (HRV) tracking. It also offers GPS and Bluetooth connectivity. The Prowatch…

Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have provided insights into the rapid star formation within the Phoenix galaxy cluster, a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists for years. The cluster, located 5.8 billion light-years from Earth, contains a supermassive black hole of roughly 10 billion solar masses, which typically suppresses star formation by heating surrounding…

A new study has explored the nature of time at the quantum level, uncovering evidence that contradicts the widely accepted notion of a single, forward-moving arrow of time. Researchers have examined the fundamental mechanics of quantum systems interacting with their environment, suggesting that time may not be as fixed as previously believed. The findings, which…

The Reliance-Disney joint venture will no longer offer completely free streaming for IPL cricket matches and will adopt a hybrid model where subscription kicks in after content consumption reaches a threshold, three sources told Reuters on Thursday. The entity will also launch a new rebranded streaming app, with plans starting at Rs.149, said the first…

Munawar Faruqui is set to feature in a satirical newsroom comedy titled Hafta Vasooli. The show focuses on current events while incorporating roasts and engaging in high-energy debates. A rotating lineup of surprise guests is expected to be part of the discussions, bringing different perspectives to each episode. The format aims to blend satire with…

A striking cloud formation was observed in the Martian sky by NASA’s Curiosity rover, revealing a feather-shaped structure tinged with iridescent colours. The phenomenon was recorded on January 27, 2023, shortly after sunset. Scientists analysing the image have indicated that such formations help in understanding cloud particle sizes and their growth over time. The event…
