The story so far: The powerful earthquake in Myanmar on March 28 had its source in central Myanmar, about 20 km from Mandalay, the country’s second-largest city. Mandalay, located on the east bank of the Irrawaddy river, is close to one of the most seismically active faults in the region, called the Sagaing fault, named after a town not far from Mandalay on the river’s opposite side. The earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck around 12:50 pm local time, followed by several strong aftershocks, including one of magnitude 6.4, which occurred 11 minutes after the major event.What effect did the earthquakes…

This image collage shows the location of the ChaSTE instrument onboard the Vikram lander. The lander was photographed by the Pragyan rover. | Photo Credit: ISRO As the Vikram lander of Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the moon on August 23, 2023, a thermal probe tucked snugly in its panels, slowly worked itself free and stretched its arms. Its motors started to whir, sending the little probe into the soil. Once the probe reached its intended depth, it clicked in place with a latch.This is Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) — the first instrument to measure temperatures in situ near the…

Rapidly reducing aerosol emissions, which are part of air pollution, without concurrently reducing greenhouse gas emissions could expose a large fraction of the world’s most vulnerable people to a sudden acceleration of warming and extreme heat in highly polluted regions like India. Researchers warned as much in a study published in November 2024 in Geophysical Research Letters.The analysis found regions that cleaned their air in the late 20th century have experienced a greater increase in warming trends over time while more populated urban areas with low human development indices have experienced lower levels of warming — due to the masking…

Two planets outside the solar system have been identified orbiting a star located nearly 250 light-years away from Earth in the Draco constellation. These planets are categorised as a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune. Both types are commonly observed in the Milky Way galaxy yet neither is present in our solar system. The host star, known as TOI-1453, is slightly cooler and smaller compared to the Sun. These planets were found around a binary star system which features two stars orbiting each other.Details of the discoveryAccording to the study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics these exoplanets have been named…

Fossils of a 444 million-year-old marine creature, which is preserved in an unusual state, have been unearthed in South Africa. The remains belong to an extinct species of arthropod that lived long before dinosaurs, claims a new study. The fossils, which were discovered nearly 250 miles north of Cape Town in the Cederberg Mountains, shows an inside-out preservation technique. This means that the the soft tissues, such as muscles and guts, survived but the hard outer shell and limbs did not. This rare preservation offers a glimpse into ancient marine life and environments that existed during the Late Ordovician period.Fossil…

NASA astronaut Zena Cardman has been appointed to lead the upcoming SpaceX Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is scheduled for launch in July. Cardman will take command of the four-member crew following her removal from a previous mission last year. She will be accompanied by Pilot Mike Fincke from NASA, Mission Specialist Kimiya Yui from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mission Specialist Oleg Platonov from the Russian space agency Roscosmos. Crew-11 will transport the team to the orbiting laboratory for an extended stay.Crew Composition and Mission DetailsAccording to an announcement by NASA officials, Cardman’s…

James Webb Space Telescope has recently captured a detailed image of an unusual cosmic occurrence. The latest images released by European Space Agency shows a glowing ring in the depths of space. It also reveals an effect that is caused by a massive galaxy bending light from another galaxy hidden behind it. The phenomenon has been recorded in the constellation Hydrus. It has been observed that light from the background galaxy forms a ring due to gravitational bending.Formation of the Einstein RingAccording to the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency the sight captured is known as an Einstein…

A powerful X-class solar flare was unleashed by an emerging sunspot region leading to radio blackouts over large parts of North and South America. The flare was classified as X1.1 and was reported to have erupted from sunspot region AR4046. This unexpected solar event was recorded on March 28. The flare impacted shortwave radio signals across the sunlit areas at the time of eruption, which disrupted communication in several regions.Solar Flare Triggered By Sunspot AR4046Reportedly, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the solar flare originated from sunspot region AR4046. It was reported…
