Venturing beyond Earth means confronting space radiation, an omnipresent foe that our planet’s magnetic field and atmosphere dutifully block. On Earth, background radiation is negligible; in space, it’s a different story. Astronauts endure far higher doses from exotic particles, turning every mission into a survival calculus. Three primary culprits dominate: the Van Allen radiation belts encircling Earth with trapped protons and electrons; solar particles unleashed in fiery solar flares and massive plasma ejections; and galactic cosmic rays, ultra-energetic beams from exploded stars light-years away. These rays, laden with heavy elements, defy conventional shielding. Short-term effects mimic radiation sickness—vomiting, exhaustion, dermal…

India’s vibrant Chaitra Navratri kicked off on March 19, drawing millions into nine days of fervent prayers to Goddess Durga’s nine forms. Beyond the rituals, a key highlight this year is the Goddess’s ceremonial entry on a palanquin Thursday and exit on an elephant Friday—portents that Vedic scholars say will shape the year’s trajectory. Ancient texts emphasize the vahana (vehicle) and weekday as predictors of societal and personal fates. A Thursday palanquin procession signals trouble ahead: think earthquakes, riots, financial slumps, or tragic events. It’s a wake-up call for preparedness against nature’s wrath or human conflicts. Turning the tide, Friday’s…

Deepfakes are doctored to show him issuing false statements, primarily to inflate online engagement metrics. A viral fake clip of Gambhir ‘resigning’ exploded to 29 lakh views rapidly, while his massive 1.2 crore follower base makes him a…
