The film had been directed by Andy Cheng and written by Daniel Sadek who had also produced the film. Featuring a storyline built around illegal street racing funded by wealthy individuals, the movie had promised speed and spectacle. A personal collection of exotic cars had been used by Sadek to shape the racing world shown on screen.When and Where to Watch RedlineRedline had been released across theatres in North America on April 13, 2007.

The very first attempt to launch an orbital rocket from European soil has failed. Isar Aerospace’s Spectrum rocket lifted off from Andøya Spaceport in Norway on March 30. It lost control after an anomaly occurred eighteen seconds into the flight.  No payloads were onboard. The test flight was taken to gather data on the vehicle’s performance. The cause of the failure is not known.Investigation UnderwayAccording to reports, video footage showed the rocket tumbling in midair before its engines shut down. Reports indicate that flight controllers may have terminated the mission once the vehicle became unstable. Andøya Spaceport, built specifically for…

A laboratory experiment has revealed that the creation of benzene in space may not be true. Researchers in the United States attempted to recreate the chemical reactions, which is believed to produce benzene in interstellar environments. Benzene plays a critical role in the development of larger carbon compounds that is necessary for life. However, the new findings reveals that the chemical process failed to produce benzene, which was conducted in controlled conditions stimulating space.Test Results Disprove Long-Standing TheoryAccording to the study published in Nature Astronomy, researchers from the University of Colorado’s JILA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology…

SpaceX’s Fram2 mission has lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch took place at 9:46 p.m. EDT on March 31. A Falcon 9 rocket carried Resilience, the Crew Dragon capsule into orbit. This marks the first private astronaut mission to fly over Earth’s poles. The crew consists of four members. Chun Wang, a cryptocurrency billionaire, leads the mission. Jannicke Mikkelsen from Norway serves as vehicle commander. Rabea Rogge from Germany is the pilot. Australian Eric Phillips is the medical officer and mission specialist. Their time in orbit is expected to last between three to five days.Mission…

The first astronauts to orbit over both of Earth’s poles have shared new images from their journey. SpaceX launched the private Fram2 mission on March 31, sending four first-time astronauts into a polar orbit. The mission lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and reached the orbit shortly after with the Crew Dragon spacecraft. The trajectory allowed the crew members to witness and document some of the most remotest regions of the planet. Interestingly, the images from the mission show views of the Arctic and Antarctic, which were never seen from a crewed spacecraft before.Mission Details and Crew MembersAccording to…

Astronomers have released new images of planets within the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani star systems. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was used in a way that was different from standard procedures to achieve these results. Capturing direct images of exoplanets is challenging due to the brightness of host stars, which often obscures planetary details. To allow more light through, researchers adjusted JWST’s coronagraphs. This helps in enhancing the visibility of these distant worlds. This adjustment provided clearer insights into planetary atmospheres and their compositions.Unconventional Use of JWST’s CoronagraphsAccording to a study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, lead…

A volcanic fissure has emerged near Grindavík on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula after a series of strong earthquakes. Lava has breached the town’s defence barriers. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) has warned that the fissure may continue to expand. The eruption began along the Sundhnúkur crater row early in the morning. By 9:45 a.m. local time, a fissure stretching nearly 1,200 metres had opened north of Grindavík. The crack is moving southward. Officials have raised the hazard level to the highest risk category.Evacuations and Road ClosuresAccording to the IMO, a second fissure has appeared inside Grindavík’s protective barriers. Authorities have evacuated…

 NASA’s SPHEREx mission has sent back its first images from space. This marks an important step before it begins the full survey of the sky. The space telescope, which was launched on March 11, 2025, is designed to scan millions of galaxies and collect data in infrared light. On March 27, its detectors captured uncalibrated images that show thousands of light sources, including distant stars and galaxies. The images, processed with added colours for infrared wavelengths, confirm that SPHEREx is operating as expected. Once fully operational, the telescope will take 600 exposures daily and map the entire sky four times…

A strong solar flare of the X1.1 class caused radio outages across North and South America. GOES-16 satellite captured the incident around 11:20 a.m. EST on March 28. It is operated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA together. The flare originated from a sunspot identified as AR4046. It is the first X-class flare detected since early February. Reports confirm that this solar event disrupted high-frequency radio communications for several hours in affected regions.Impact on Earth’s radio signalsAccording to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the flare caused significant interference with high-frequency radio signals. The sudden burst of electromagnetic…
