⭐ India became the fourth country to successfully dock two satellites in space on January 16, 2025.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved this feat with its SpaDeX mission.
👉 The SpaDeX mission involved two satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target).
👉 The satellites were launched on December 30, 2024 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

India has successfully launched its first observation mission to the Sun.
It comes just days after the country made history by landing near the Moon's south pole.
Aditya-L1 will be 1.5 million km (93 million miles) from the Earth, which is just 1% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
India's space agency said it will take four months to travel that far.

This is what happens when a black hole swallows a star.
As the star gets sucked up into the black hole, a huge jet of plasma is burped out, spanning hundreds of light-years. "When the star is ripped apart by the gravitational forces of the black hole, some part of the star's remains falls into the black hole, while the rest is ejected at high speeds.

If you blow air through sand, it becomes a "fluidized bed," and acts just like a liquid.

Wringing Gauge Blocks: two blocks of metal (not magnets!) will stick together by a process called wringing if their surfaces are flat to high precision- such as these gauge blocks found in most machine shops. Here two blocks are forced apart with a snap, and then wrung back together with the characteristic sliding motion technique. Gauge blocks are flat to less that one millionth of a meter and are used by machinists for precision length measurements and calibration. The science of the wring force remains somewhat a mystery and no one has yet found a fully accepted physics description- but we do know that blocks will wring in a vacuum and that the force can be up to 30 times that of weight of the blocks.

Lasers can get trapped in a waterfall.
Oh my gosh, yes. Not only is this an incredible example of total internal reflection, it also shows how fibre optic cables work to guide the flow of light.
