Artemis II Photography Delivers Stunning Views of Moon and Earth Two professional photography instructors who trained astronauts on the Artemis II mission have said they were just as amazed as the public by the remarkable images captured during the historic lunar flyby. Paul Reichert and Katrina Willoughby, who prepared the crew for space photography, provided around 20 hours of specialised training ahead of the April 1 launch. The mission marked the first time humans travelled to the Moon in more than 50 years. Both instructors studied photographic sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology. They emphasised that scientific imaging demands…

Australia’s Electric Truck Push Gains Momentum Amid Fuel Crisis An electric truck quietly rolled out of an automotive workshop in Australia, marking a significant shift in the country’s freight industry. Despite its smooth and modern performance, the vehicle had already travelled more than a million kilometres in its previous life as a diesel-powered truck. Following a transformation costing A$150,000, the five-year-old diesel engine was removed and replaced with an electric motor and a swappable battery system. This upgrade signals a broader transition in an industry long dependent on diesel fuel. Converting Diesel Trucks Into Electric Alternatives Located about an hour…
Iran Reportedly Acquires Chinese Satellite for Military Surveillance Iran has reportedly obtained a Chinese-built satellite, enhancing its ability to monitor and potentially target United States military installations across the Middle East during a recent conflict, according to a report published on Wednesday. The satellite, identified as TEE-01B, was developed and launched by a Chinese firm. It was allegedly transferred to the Aerospace Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in late 2024, shortly after its deployment into orbit. The report cited leaked Iranian military documents outlining the acquisition and its operational use. Satellite Used to Monitor Key Military Locations According…
ASML Gains Momentum As AI Demand Drives Investor Optimism Investors in ASML, Europe’s most valuable listed technology company, expect the chip-equipment manufacturer to raise its financial forecasts when it reports first-quarter earnings. Strong demand for artificial intelligence chips has kept orders for its machines operating at full capacity. Shares in the Netherlands-based firm have surged by more than 40 percent this year. This rise reflects the rapid expansion of data centres and increasing demand for advanced chips from major clients such as Nvidia, which depend heavily on ASML’s technology. Moreover, ASML supplies lithography machines to leading chipmakers, including Taiwan’s TSMC.…
Anthropic Mythos Raises Cybersecurity Concerns For Banks Anthropic’s Mythos AI model has triggered serious concerns among cybersecurity experts, particularly within the banking sector. The company introduced the model on April 7 and described it as its most advanced system for coding and autonomous tasks. However, experts now warn that its capabilities could significantly amplify cyber threats. The model demonstrates a strong ability to analyse complex systems and identify weaknesses. As a result, it can detect vulnerabilities and potentially exploit them with unprecedented efficiency. This capability creates new risks for industries that depend on intricate and ageing technology frameworks. Legacy Systems…

Gaganyaan IADT-02 Test Successfully Demonstrates Crew Module Recovery Systems The second Integrated Air Drop Test, known as IADT-02, for the Gaganyaan mission was successfully carried out at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on April 10, 2026. This test formed a crucial part of preparations for India’s upcoming human spaceflight programme. It focused on validating the parachute-based recovery systems designed for the Crew Module. During the test, a simulated Crew Module weighing approximately 5.7 tonnes was used. This mass closely matches the Crew Module planned for the first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission, referred to as G1. The module was lifted by…
Artemis II Crew Returns Safely After Historic Lunar Voyage The Artemis II capsule completed its journey as it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, marking the end of a nearly ten-day mission. The spacecraft, known as Orion and named Integrity, descended under parachutes into calm waters off the Southern California coast shortly after 5:07 p.m. Pacific Time. This event concluded the first human mission to the vicinity of the moon in more than fifty years. The mission carried four astronauts who travelled farther into space than any crew before them. Their journey reached a distance of…
Anthropic Explores In House Chip Development Amid Supply Strain Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic is examining the possibility of designing its own chips, according to three sources. The move reflects a broader industry response to a persistent shortage of specialised hardware required to power and advance modern AI systems. However, the initiative remains at a preliminary stage, and no final decision has been made. Early Stage Plans Remain Uncertain At present, Anthropic has not committed to building proprietary chips. Instead, it continues to assess whether developing its own hardware would offer strategic advantages over purchasing existing solutions. Two individuals familiar with…
India’s Data Centre Expansion Accelerates India is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing data centre markets, driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital consumption. Industry projections show India’s data centre capacity could jump from around 1.5 GW in 2025 to 8–10 GW by 2030—a nearly six-fold increase. Major corporate investments are fuelling this surge. The Adani Group has announced a $100 billion commitment to build renewable-powered, AI-ready data centres by 2035. Meanwhile, Reliance Industries and global partners are investing $11 billion in a massive AI data centre hub in Visakhapatnam, signalling India’s ambition to become a global…
