Chile’s Vera Rubin Observatory Unveils First Cosmic Images Chile’s Vera C. Rubin Observatory, home to the world’s largest digital camera, has shared its first images of the cosmos. This milestone allows astronomers to explore how the solar system formed and assess whether asteroids may threaten Earth in the future. The observatory sits on Pachon Hill in Chile’s Coquimbo region, using its 8.4-metre telescope and 3,200-megapixel camera to collect vast amounts of data. The camera connects to a powerful data system, designed to process and analyse images rapidly. Tracking Thousands of New Asteroids Within just 10 hours of observation, the observatory…
SpaceX Seeks Mexico’s Help After Starship Explosion Sends Debris Across Border SpaceX has said its efforts to recover debris after last week’s Starship explosion have faced obstacles, prompting the company to seek assistance from Mexico. The explosion occurred during testing in Texas, sending debris across the border and raising concerns from Mexican authorities. Explosion Scatters Debris During Testing The Starship spacecraft exploded into a large fireball during a test launch in Texas last week. SpaceX attributed the incident to a “major anomaly” as video footage showed at least two explosions lighting up the night sky. Debris was seen flying in…

In a global technology race dominated by the United States and China, India and Russia are steadily carving out their own path. With initiatives like the India AI Mission and the ambitious India Semiconductor Mission, the country is aiming to establish itself as a credible technological power. Yet, despite the progress, India’s digital infrastructure remains significantly reliant on foreign suppliers. Russia, too, is seeking to assert its place in the global tech arena. It has demonstrated its capabilities in training IT professionals and in maintaining parity in advanced weaponry. But its domestic IT industry, which accounts for a mere 1–2%…
Drones Help Clean Everest as They Deliver Gear and Carry Waste A Nepalese drone company is helping to solve a growing problem on Mount Everest: garbage.

India Achieves Major Breakthrough in Quantum Secure Communication India has taken a major step in quantum communication with a new demonstration by DRDO and IIT Delhi. The trial showed successful free-space quantum secure communication using quantum entanglement over a distance of more than one kilometre. Quantum Leap in Secure Data Sharing This experiment was conducted at the IIT Delhi campus under the DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE). Researchers achieved a secure key rate of around 240 bits per second. The quantum bit error rate stayed below 7%. These results prove the potential of quantum entanglement for real-time secure communication. The…
