NASA's Voyager 1 probe, the farthest man-made object in the universe, has resumed transmitting meaningful data to ground control after a period of transmitting nonsensical information, the US space agency revealed on Monday. The spaceship stopped sending readable data back to Earth on November 14, 2023, even though controllers could tell it was still receiving their commands.

Isro's S Somnath discusses Aditya L1 solar mission's ongoing Sun data transmission and instrument observations. The 5-year mission includes solar eclipse data collection and collaboration with Nasa on the Nisar project for Earth mapping.

Nasa's Artemis program faces challenges due to budget constraints, reduced political will, infrastructure decisions, complex goals, and a vision for a lasting lunar legacy. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial for Nasa's modern space exploration efforts.

Lyrid Meteor shower peaks Sunday, best seen from Northern Hemisphere. NASA notes 2,700-year-old Lyrids. Moon's brightness may affect visibility. EarthSky mentions surges up to 100 meteors per hour.

Nasa's TIMED spacecraft and the defunct Russian spy satellite Cosmos 2221 experienced an alarmingly close encounter in orbit, space.com reported. Initial estimates suggested that the two satellites passed within 65 feet (20 meters) of each other. Currently, there are approximately 11,500 satellites orbiting Earth, with 9,000 of them being operational, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).

Plastic production's rapid growth threatens the global carbon budget for limiting global warming. Reductions in primary plastic production are crucial to align with climate targets and prevent exceeding the carbon budget, as highlighted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study.

Bengaluru is now home to a state-of-the-art command and control centre dedicated to monitoring and managing space traffic. The facility, located at the global headquarters of Digantara, aims to ensure the safety and sustainability of satellite operations worldwide.

Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope collaborates with ESA on a mission targeting small main belt asteroids to deepen understanding of early solar system mysteries. Managed by Nasa's Goddard Center and Lockheed Martin, the mission explores asteroid composition, dynamics, and impact risks.

China's major cities experience elevation loss due to subsidence. In 100 years, a quarter of urban coastal land may be below sea level. Robert Nicholls and researchers emphasize the significance. Manoochehr Shirzaei criticizes inadequate adaptation strategies. Zurui Ao, Xiaomei Hu, and Shengli Tao led the study.

The World Health Organization voiced alarm Thursday at the growing spread of H5N1 bird flu to new species, including humans, who face an "extraordinarily high" mortality rate. But in the hundreds of cases where humans have been infected through contact with animals, "the mortality rate is extraordinarily high", Farrar said.
