Nano Avionics, a space technology firm, has published footage of the first-ever 4K quality full satellite selfie, which captures 12-megapixel images and 4K video clips with a GoPro Hero 7. The selfie stick was attached to the company's MP42 microsatellite, which was flying 550 kilometers over the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef, the only living structure visible from space. Nearly 3,84,000 kilometers separated us from the Moon.

As per a research of University of California, alteration to ozone levels in the upper and lower atmosphere were responsible for almost a third of the Global warming. In addition, the impact was visible in ocean waters bordering Antarctica in the second half of the 20th century. ''This study reveals it also has a big impact on the ocean’s ability to absorb excess heat from the atmosphere,'' stated a researcher.

India's first solar mission Aditya L1 is likely to be launched by ISRO by September 2022, while India's second space observatory Xposat will be launched by 2022. The Director of the Human Spaceflight Center, Dr. Nair, said "both missions will provide insights into the universe's origin". The spacecraft in the solar mission will be sent 1.5km away from the Earth, where the gravitational pull of bodies will be equal.

A study by researchers from the University of Colorado has revealed that 73% of Earth's energy sector emissions are caused by 5% of Earth's power plants. The Researchers began their research to help climate activists determine who seems to be responsible for the climate crisis. Additionally, the researchers say that the ones causing damage to atmospheric warming are power plants clustered around Europe, East Asia, and the US.

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), solar winds enwrapped the earth on July 14, no remarkable impacts were administered. This is mostly because winds weren’t powerful to be reported on the space weather scale. Reportedly, the wind remained for few hours and slightly disturbed the planet’s magnetic field. The geometric waves from solar storms can cause interference in radio communications,… read-more
