Astronomers have recently announced a groundbreaking discovery; they claim to have observed a distant exoplanet outside our solar system that potentially contain deep oceans. This significant advancement in our search for habitable environments beyond Earth and it was made possible by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Using the James Webb Telescope, astronomers successfully detected chemical signatures indicative of water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of this distant exoplanet. With a radius twice that of Earth, this exoplanet is located approximately 70 light years away from our planet. Researchers from the University of Cambridge suggest that the chemical…

The Chenab Bridge is situated in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district and it is renowned as the world’s highest railway bridge. It’s a remarkable engineering marvel situated in the remote mountains. It sets to link Kashmir with India’s vast rail network. Spanning 1300 meters in length, this bridge is designed to endure for 120 years without needing any renovations. It is capable of withstanding wind gusts of up to 260 kilometers per hour. Although the construction of the Chenab Bridge was finished in August 2022, train operations are scheduled to commence in 2024. The bridge is constructed over the Chenab…

For generations, women’s allure, glamorous look, beauty have been a selling point in the film, cinema and tv series industry.

In the ever-evolving world of Bollywood, a significant shift is underway as women are increasingly taking on central roles in films. One such development was confirmed by Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films, during FIICI Frames, where he announced, “Alia Bhatt is headlining a Spy Universe film, marking a new chapter in our cinematic universe.” This move is a departure from the tradition of male-dominated leads in the Spy Universe franchise, indicating YRF’s confidence in the potential success of action-packed films with female protagonists. It could pave the way for more actresses to anchor big-budget action films in the…

Astronomers have recently used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover a galaxy that ceased forming new stars over 13 billion years ago. This “dead” galaxy was observed when the universe was only 700 million years old, making it the oldest such galaxy ever detected. Led by the University of Cambridge, an international team of astronomers made this groundbreaking observation. The galaxy exhibited a rapid burst of star formation followed by an abrupt cessation, a phenomenon unusual for the early stages of the universe’s development. However, it remains uncertain whether this cessation of star formation in the galaxy is temporary…

Researchers recently made a groundbreaking discovery in the dense forests of Ecuador; a rare species of anaconda, believed to be the largest snake in the world. This newfound anaconda, resembling the ancient green anaconda that roamed the Earth 10 million years ago, was discovered in the Ecuadorian region of the vast Amazon rainforest. The green anaconda once dominated the landscape a million years ago, held the title of the world’s largest snake. However, this recent discovery suggests a new contender for that title. The snake was discovered in a shallow pond during the filming of a documentary series for a…

Gallstones is also known as gallbladder stones, are a common condition affecting one in 10 adults in the UK, but many remain asymptomatic. While gallstones can occur in both the gallbladder and the duct, not all patients experience stones in both locations. Studies indicate that around 10 percent of people in Japan have gallstones, with a lower prevalence among individuals in Southeast Asia. Situated beneath the liver, the gallbladder plays a crucial role in storing bile, which aids in the digestion of fatty foods. Gallstones, typically composed of cholesterol, vary in size from small grains to golf balls and can…

Astronomers are using powerful computers to simulate how galaxies formed from the Big Bang until now, 13.8 billion years later. These simulations have some errors. To fix them, a team of researchers from Lund University and other institutions spent eight years and a lot of time. In the past ten years, there have been massive improvements in computer simulations that can show how galaxies form. These simulations are very important for understanding where galaxies, stars, and planets come from. But sometimes, the predictions from these simulations have mistakes because the computers cannot show everything perfectly. To make better simulations, 160…
