NASA recently spotted something strange on Mars—a nearly perfect square-shaped formation on the planet's surface! At first glance, it looks like something artificial, sparking wild theories about aliens and ancient civilizations. But scientists believe it's actually a natural geological formation, likely caused by cracks, erosion, or volcanic activity. Nature sometimes creates surprisingly geometric shapes, just like hexagonal basalt columns on Earth. While it's not proof of Martian life, it's still an exciting discovery that makes us wonder what else is hiding on the Red Planet. Who knows? Maybe one day, we'll find something even more mysterious!

Scientists are planning something super wild this year — they're going to create an artificial solar eclipse! Yep, instead of waiting for nature to do it, they're making their own by using special technology. The idea is to block out the Sun just enough so they can study its outer atmosphere, called the corona. Normally, the corona is way too bright to see clearly, but with this trick, scientists can finally get a better look. It's a big deal because it could help us understand solar storms and how they mess with things like satellites and power grids. Honestly, it's like science fiction coming to life!

Mars just dropped some major beach vibes—literally! New data from China's Zhurong rover showed rock formations that look just like Earth's coastal beaches. Scientists found layers of sloping sediment, the kind shaped by waves, not wind or volcanoes. That means Mars likely had a massive body of water with actual tides and shorelines billions of years ago. This discovery gives serious weight to the idea that Mars once had conditions perfect for life. Imagine sunny Martian beaches—no sunscreen needed, just a spacesuit!

NASA sent two astronauts up in June 2024 expecting they'd be back in just over a week. But the Starliner spacecraft they used had some unexpected issues—think leaky systems and moody thrusters—so it couldn't safely bring them home. Instead of taking chances, NASA decided to leave the ship up there and bring it back empty. So the astronauts had to hang out on the ISS way longer than planned—like, months longer. They finally hitched a ride back with SpaceX in March 2025. Not the plan, but hey, they made history and got a whole lot of space miles!

Scientists have found a planet so strange, it seems to ignore the rules of physics we know!

Have you ever thought about putting clocks on the Moon? Sounds wild, right? But scientists are saying it's a must-do for future lunar missions. Time works a bit differently on the Moon because of its weaker gravity and its distance from Earth. Precise clocks would help astronauts navigate, coordinate tasks, and even communicate better with Earth. Plus, with plans for moon bases and exploration, having synchronized lunar time could be a game-changer. It's like setting the groundwork for a whole new time zone—on the Moon!

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important cues ahead of the trading session of May 21 -It's a truncated week as the markets were closed on Monday due to voting in Mumbai in the fifth phase of Lok sabha elections 2024. -In the special trading session on Saturday,  the Nifty clawed back above the mark of 22,500, which is one of the two levels the charts were pointing towards once the index sustained above 22,300. All of the losses from the week earlier were recovered as it went up 2% in the extended week gone by, bringing the Nifty back to where it was at the start of the month. -The Nifty Bank has now sustained above the level of 48,000 for two days in a row and chartists have been wanting the index to sustain above that level for a potential move towards 48,500 on the upside. The index has gained in five out of the last six trading sessions and managed to recover half of the 3.1% fall it had in the week prior to last. -The other positive aspect for the domestic market is that foreign institutions turned net buyers in the cash market during Friday's trading session. This happened for the first time in the month of May. -Results today: BHEL, NMDC, PI Industries, IRCON, JK Tyre, GSFC, Metropolis, Laxmi Organic, VA Tech Wabag, Gulf Oil -Stocks to watch out for are SAIL, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, Anupam Rasayan, India Cements, Whirlpool of India, City Union Bank, Lupin, Biocon, Oil India, Patanjali Foods -Overnight in the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged the broader market, in contrast to the Nasdaq, as JPMorgan Chase led losses. -All eyes will now be on Nvidia that reports earnings on wednesday. Nvidia shares gained more than 2% overnight on multiple bullish analyst calls that highlighted the company's preeminent market position. -Asia-Pacific markets started mixed this morning. Investors in Asia will be watching for any spillover effect on companies up and down Nvidia's value chain, such as Taiwan's TSMC and Foxconn, as well as South Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. -Oil prices fell in early Asian trade this morning, with investors anticipating higher-for-longer U.S. inflation and interest rates will depress consumer and industrial demand. Brent crude futures declined to $83.34 a barrel. -GIFT Nifty traded with a premium of more than 60 points this morning from Nifty Futures' Friday close, indicating a start in the green for the Indian market Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

NASA's Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Green joins Tim to talk about big plans for the red planet, Mars. Jim has had a long and distinguished career on some of the agency's major research projects and missions that have explored the rest of our solar system, from Mars to Pluto. In this episode, Jim gets into detail on what we have learned, can learn and will learn from Earth's next door neighbor. He uncovers some of the secrets of Mars. This episode was originally released on September 27, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Life_on_Mars.mp3 Next to the Moon and the Sun, the most captivating celestial bodies in our night sky for mankind over thousands and thousands of years has been Mars. The red planet. The fourth rock from the sun. So, it made sense when we started to make plans for space travel, Mars would figure prominently into those plans. As far back as the inception of both the Soviet and American space programs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, space scientist started making plans to explore Mars. By July 4, 1997, NASA was able to land a spacecraft on Mars.  The Mars Pathfinder was launched on December 4th 1996. Six months later, it landed on Mars. The unit featured the first-ever robotic rover that sent an unprecedented amount of data on the planet back to scientists at NASA. After that, there were other missions, which included Mars orbiters, landers, and excavators.  And the United States hasn't been the only country working to explore the planet. The Soviet Union, then Russia, then China, then India, and even the United Arab Emirates have launched missions to Mars. Each time, we learn something new and something significant about Mars. But in the end, there is one question that continues to drive mankind's quest to visit Mars. Is there life on that planet, and if so, what does it look like? Jim Green has worked to find the answers to this and many other questions throughout his career as a scientist at NASA. Links NASA's Mars Exploration Program James L. Green, NASA Why We Explore Mars, National Geographic Nicolaus Copernicus, History.com Jezero Crater – Mars, NASA About this Episode's Guest Dr. Jim Green Dr. Jim Green Photo courtesy of NASA NASA's Chief Scientist, Dr. Jim Green received his Ph.D. in Space Physics from the University of Iowa in 1979 and began working in the Magnetospheric Physics Branch at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in 1980. At Marshall, Dr. Green developed and managed the Space Physics Analysis Network, which provided many scientists, all over the world, with rapid access to data, other scientists, and specific NASA computer and information resources. In addition, Dr. Green was a safety diver in the Neutral Buoyancy tank making over 150 dives until he left MSFC in 1985. From 1985 to 1992 he was the Head of the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The NSSDC is NASA's largest space science data archive. In 1992 he became the Chief of the Space Science Data Operations Office until 2005 when he became the Chief of the Science Proposal Support Office. While at GSFC, Dr. Green was also co-investigator and the Deputy Project Scientist on the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) mission. From 1992 to 2000 he was also the Deputy Project Scientist for Mission Operations and Data Analysis for the Global Geospace Science Missions WIND and POLAR. He has written over 110 scientific articles in referred journals involving various aspects of the Earth's and Jupiter's magnetospheres and over 50 technical articles on various aspects of data systems and computer networks. From August 2006 to April 2018 Dr. Green was the Director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters. Under his leadership several missions have been successfully executed, including the New Horizons spacecraft flyby of Pluto,

As far back as the inception of both the Soviet and American space programs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, space scientist started making plans to explore Mars. By July 4, 1997, NASA was able to land a spacecraft on Mars.  The Mars Pathfinder was launched on December 4th 1996. Six months later, it landed on Mars. The unit featured the first-ever robotic rover that sent an unprecedented amount of data on the planet back to scientists at NASA. After that, there were other missions, which included Mars orbiters, landers, and excavators.  And the United States hasn't been the only country working to explore the planet. The Soviet Union, then Russia, then China, then India, and even the United Arab Emirates have launched missions to Mars. Each time, we learn something new and something significant about Mars. But in the end, there is one question that continues to drive mankind's quest to visit Mars. Is there life on that planet, and if so, what does it look like? Jim Green has worked to find the answers to this and many other questions throughout his career as a scientist at NASA. Links NASA's Mars Exploration Program James L. Green, NASA Why We Explore Mars, National Geographic Nicolaus Copernicus, History.com Jezero Crater - Mars, NASA About this Episode's Guest Dr. Jim Green Dr. Jim GreenPhoto courtesy of NASA NASA's Chief Scientist, Dr. Jim Green received his Ph.D. in Space Physics from the University of Iowa in 1979 and began working in the Magnetospheric Physics Branch at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in 1980. At Marshall, Dr. Green developed and managed the Space Physics Analysis Network, which provided many scientists, all over the world, with rapid access to data, other scientists, and specific NASA computer and information resources. In addition, Dr. Green was a safety diver in the Neutral Buoyancy tank making over 150 dives until he left MSFC in 1985. From 1985 to 1992 he was the Head of the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The NSSDC is NASA's largest space science data archive. In 1992 he became the Chief of the Space Science Data Operations Office until 2005 when he became the Chief of the Science Proposal Support Office. While at GSFC, Dr. Green was also co-investigator and the Deputy Project Scientist on the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) mission. From 1992 to 2000 he was also the Deputy Project Scientist for Mission Operations and Data Analysis for the Global Geospace Science Missions WIND and POLAR. He has written over 110 scientific articles in referred journals involving various aspects of the Earth's and Jupiter's magnetospheres and over 50 technical articles on various aspects of data systems and computer networks. From August 2006 to April 2018 Dr. Green was the Director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters. Under his leadership several missions have been successfully executed, including the New Horizons spacecraft flyby of Pluto, the MESSENGER spacecraft to Mercury, the Juno spacecraft to Jupiter,

Small weather satellites are having an increasing impact on the delivery of weather data to government, military and commercial users. One of the companies on the forefront of this new wave of weather data delivery is Brandywine Photonics. On this edition of the Ex Terra Podcast, we talk with John Fisher, the CEO of this startup company. Brandywine Photonics is a member of The MetNet Alliance, which uses small weather satellite technology to measure all things weather, all the time. From power grids, radio communications, and military theater, weather systems influence life on Earth. With MetNet data in their models, Brandywine Photonics customers gain new insight into the inner workings of global weather and climate with much lower latency than the current operational satellites such as POES, JPSS, and DMSP. Fisher has 31-years' experience in designing optical systems. He has designed the gratings and spectrographs for eight organizations (GSFC, ARC, NRL, and Commercial), of which more than 40 have flown or are currently flying in commercial and tactical platforms. He designed and built the spectrometer for the Hyperspectral Imaging and Coastal Observer mission, which was operational on the ISS from 2010-2015. His latest projects have included optical design for the payloads for MetNet Small Weather Satellites, including the Theater Weather Imager & Cloud Characterization Sensor, and the Compact Hyperspectral Infrared Sounding Interferometer. His primary duties at Brandywine are landing contracts with Air Force and NOAA, and teaming on NASA Planetary Science and Earth Science proposals. Low-cost launch enables the Space 2.0 mantra “fly fast and fly often.” Brandywine Photonics scrutinizes every component to create the lightest payload for cost-effective spaceflight. The full constellation costs less than a single legacy satellite. Working with its MetNet Alliance Partners, the small weather satellite constellations will be fully loaded with the best in space-based environmental monitoring: Theater Weather Imaging and Cloud Characterization Day-Night Imaging Infrared Sounding Microwave Sounding and Imaging GPS-Radio Occultation EO/IR Limb Viewing for Atmospheric Chemistry Space Weather, both in situ and remote sensing (Source: Brandywine Photonics)
