NASA's X-59 supersonic jet could fly you from New York to Paris in half the time

NASA's X-59 supersonic jet, dubbed the "son of Concorde," has completed low-speed taxi tests, advancing toward its first flight. Engineered with "quiet supersonic technology," it aims to minimize sonic booms, potentially revolutionizing air travel by significantly reducing flight times between major cities. This progress could pave the way for commercial supersonic flight over land.

India's own astronaut training & space psychology protocols ready

India achieved a milestone in its human spaceflight program. The country validated astronaut selection and training protocols. This was done through the 'Anugami' experiment in Bengaluru. The experiment simulated space mission conditions. It involved diverse participants, including military personnel and civilian researchers. The mission tested medical emergency responses and psychological monitoring systems. Future simulations will occur in extreme environments.

Birth of planet captured: Rare glimpses of newborn planet 1,300 light-yrs away - watch

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory spots young exoplanet rapidly shrinking in rare cosmic meltdown 330 light-years away

Astronomers observe a dramatic event on exoplanet TOI 1227 b. This young gas planet is losing its atmosphere quickly. Intense X-ray radiation from its red dwarf star is the cause. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helps in the discovery. Scientists believe this offers insights into planetary evolution. The planet is unlikely to support life.
