What began as an effort to prevent tigresses in captivity from killing their own cubs has turned into an unexpected boon for Indian farmers. Scientists at the CSIR–Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad have developed a simple, non‑invasive test — based on animal dung analysis — that can detect pregnancy in cows...

A: The Shimizu Corporation in Japan has proposed a belt of power plants sitting along the moon’s equator, which is 11,000 km long, called the “Lunar Ring”. According to the company’s plans, robots can build this mega-structure from lunar soil. The facilities will collect solar energy from the sun and beam it to the earth...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday (April 6, 2026) called and congratulated the Artemis astronauts circling the Moon for making “history,” telling them they’ve “made all America really proud, incredibly proud.” “You really are modern-day pioneers — all of you,” Mr. Trump said, before launching into a friendly interview of sorts with the three Americans...

After traveling deeper into space than any other humans, the Artemis II astronauts pointed their moonship toward home on Monday (April 6, 2026) night, wrapping up a lunar cruise that revealed views of the far side never beheld by eyes until now. Their flyby of the moon even included some celestial sightseeing besides yielding rich...

The four astronauts carrying out NASA’s first lunar flyby in more than half-a-century were sending back detailed observations of the Moon after traveling further from Earth than any human before.. At their nearest distance to the moon, the crew came within an estimated 4,067 miles of the lunar surface, according to calculations by NASA. From...

Artemis astronauts at the outer edge of human space travel had an emotional moment Monday (April 6, 2026) as they named a crater in honour of the deceased wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman. “It’s a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll,” Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen told a...

The four astronauts embarking on NASA’s lunar flyby became on Monday (April 6, 2026) the humans to travel furthest from our planet, as they get set to view areas of the Moon never before seen by the naked eye. The Artemis II team broke the previous record set by 1970’s Apollo 13 mission, which they...

The ​four astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II mission entered the moon’s gravitational sphere ⁠of influence early on Monday (April 6, 2026) morning as they cruised along a path that will soon take them over the shadowed, lunar far side to become the farthest-flying humans in history. The Artemis II ‌crew, flying in their Orion capsule...

The Artemis astronauts entered the final phase of their run-up to a lunar loop on Monday (April 6, 2026), a tipping point of sorts that means the Moon’s gravity is now having a stronger pull on the spacecraft than Earth’s. The Orion capsule will now whip around the Moon, setting the crew up to travel...

A seven-year-long project in the US that analysed 3,900 claims from research papers in social sciences has revealed that results from about half the papers examined for reproducibility were precisely reproducible as they yielded the same result when the same analytical method was applied to the same data. The findings help provide a picture of...
