NASA warns of asteroid 2024 JJ25, measuring 370 feet and traveling at 33,673 kmph, approaching Earth today. Discovered by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope, it will pass within 4 million kilometers, prompting close monitoring but no collision concerns. This event offers a rare opportunity for scientific study, shedding light on asteroid composition and solar system evolution. Public interest is high, with NASA providing updates to ensure awareness and understanding of the celestial event.

NASA has detected asteroid 2024 LB4, comparable in size to a plane, approaching Earth on June 16, 2024. Despite its proximity of 1,800,000 miles, it has posed no threat. NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies has been tracking such objects to ensure safety. While not alarming, it has highlighted the importance of planetary defense efforts. This event has coincided with other close approaches in June 2024, emphasizing the ongoing need for vigilance and research in asteroid monitoring.

NASA closely monitors asteroid 2024 EU4, set to approach Earth on March 23, 2024, at 101,885 km/h. While its size and speed raise concerns, jpl predicts a safe pass by. This event underscores NASA's planetary defense efforts, combining ground and space-based observatories. Public interest in asteroids grows, but NASA's vigilance offers reassurance. As 2024 EU4 nears, it highlights the need for ongoing investment in space science and defense, promising valuable scientific insights.

NASA's Juno spacecraft, guided by jpl, will examine Jupiter's moon Io. The mission focuses on volcanic activity, eruption frequency, and characteristics. It aims to study lava flow temperature and the connection between Io's activity and Jupiter's magnetosphere. Juno will investigate the potential existence of an ocean beneath Io's surface and the influence of Jupiter on magma tides

The Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) satellite, set to launch in 2024, will provide researchers with unprecedented insight into Earth's forests and wetlands. The mission aims to understand how changes in these ecosystems impact the global carbon cycle and climate change. Nisar will scan the entire land and ice surfaces of Earth every 12 days, using advanced radar technology to track land-cover changes and study the movement of carbon between the atmosphere, land, ocean, and living organisms. The data will contribute to understanding deforestation.

Over 160 scientists and engineers from Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (jpl) have been working in Bengaluru for the past nine months to ensure the successful integration and testing of the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) satellite. Prior to this, around 65 Indian scientists and engineers had worked at jpl during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The teams have completed key tests, including thermal vacuum testing, and are preparing for vibration tests before the satellite's scheduled launch in 2024. Nisar is a joint project between Nasa and Isro aimed at monitoring Earth's changes in unprecedented detail.

The mini rotorcraft, which hitched a ride to the Red Planet with the Perseverance rover in early 2021, has already survived well beyond its initial 30-day mission to prove the feasibility of its technology in five test flights. Since then, it has been deployed dozens of times, acting as an aerial scout to assist its wheeled companion in searching for signs of ancient microbial life from billions of years ago, when Mars was much wetter and warmer than today.

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has inked a pact with Jio Platforms Limited aimed at inching towards a complete digital transformation at the richest Hindu temples body in the world.

Though Chandrayaan-2 mission lander hard-landed on the lunar surface in 2019, its orbiter is doing wonders as one of the eight key scientific instruments on board it has detected the “unambiguous presence of hydroxyl and water molecules” on the lunar surface. The findings will certainly give a heads-up to Isro as it is scheduled to launch Chandrayaan-3 in 2022.

Jio is accelerating the rollout of digital platforms and indigenously-developed next-generation 5G stack, Reliance Industries' annual report has said, highlighting that India is at the forefront of the ‘global digital revolution'.

Three Indian companies have got licences from NASA to manufacture its indigenously developed ventilators for critical COVID-19 patients. The three Indian companies are Alpha Design Technologies Pvt Ltd, Bharat Forge Ltd and Medha Servo Drives Pvt Ltd, the space organisation said in a statement on Friday.

Jubilant Pharma’s credit profile remains unaffected by the US Food and Drug Administration's (USFDA) recent regulatory action at its Roorkee facility in India, Fitch Ratings has said. “The plant makes generic solid-dosage products and has limited contribution to jpl's revenue and earnings due to the Singapore-based company's greater focus on speciality-pharmaceutical segments,” the agency said.

The Central Jail inmates whose hands had once wielded knives to commit heinous crimes were seen hitting sixes with bats at the Jail Premier League that concluded on December 2.

New Delhi, Mar 14 () Markets regulator Sebi Thursday directed Jagran Prakashan's company secretary Amit Jaiswal and his wife to disgorge unlawful gains of Rs 10.41 lakh in an insider trading case.
