ISRO's Aditya-L1 completes first halo orbit around Sun-Earth L1 point in 178 days
India's first solar mission, Aditya-L1, completed its first halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 point, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced. Launched on September 2 last year, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft was inserted into its targeted halo orbit on January 6. It takes 178 days to complete a revolution around the L1 point. Station-keeping manoeuvres on February 22, June 7, and July 2 have maintained its orbit, with the latest manoeuvre ensuring it continues into the second halo orbit path. The mission's complex dynamics and trajectory planning have validated ISRO's in-house flight dynamics software.

NASA warns of potential planet-sized asteroid impact: There's 72% chance of Earth collision on this date
NASA's hypothetical exercise reveals a 72% chance of a potentially hazardous asteroid hitting Earth, highlighting gaps in Earth's preparedness. The exercise, attended by representatives from various agencies, assessed Earth's ability to respond to such threats. Key gaps include decision-making processes and readiness for space missions. NASA's DART mission confirmed the ability to change an asteroid's trajectory, and NEO Surveyor, launching in 2028, aims to discover hazardous objects early. This exercise underscores the importance of preparedness for potential asteroid impacts.

Two giant asteroids are approaching Earth, Here's how to spot the 'Planet Killer' this weekend
This week, astronomers are anticipating the close approach of asteroid 2011 UL21, dubbed the "Planet Killer," as it swings by Earth. Despite its size of approximately 2.5 kilometers in diameter, it will pass at a safe distance of 4.1 million miles—farther than the moon. Recently discovered asteroid 2024 MK, smaller but still considered hazardous, has raised concerns due to its potential impact risks. Astronomers caution that an asteroid of this size could cause significant damage if it were to collide with Earth, underscoring ongoing efforts in planetary defense and monitoring.
