India Is the 1st Country to Land on the South Pole of the Moon
India Is the 1st Country , to Land on the South Pole of the Moon.
India made history on Aug.
23 by becoming the fourth country to land on the moon and the first
to land on the lunar south pole, NBC News reports.
.
India's Chandrayaan-3 space lander reached the moon's surface at about 8:34 a.m.
ET.
The country's successful landing comes just days after Russia failed a similar mission, crashing its lander, Luna-25, into the moon.
.
The south pole of the moon has
intrigued space agencies and scientists for years because its craters are thought to contain more water than other areas on the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-3 also contains a small rover
which will conduct various experiments such as the testing of "mineral composition and seismic activity," NBC News reports.

This was India's second attempt
to land on the lunar south pole.
Its previous lander, Chandrayaan-2,
met the same fate as Russia's Luna-25.
NASA's Artemis III mission is scheduled to land on the moon's south pole in 2025, NBC News reports.

Only three other countries have ever completed "soft" lunar landings.
They are China, the former
Soviet Union and the U.S
NASA Reestablishes , Connection With Distant , Voyager 1 Space Probe.
The news comes after engineers at
the agency worked for months
attempting to fix the 46-year-old probe.
In December, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
said that the probe, now a staggering 15 billion miles
away from Earth, was transmitting gibberish code. .
On April 23, the JPL announced that
the team was once again receiving
usable data from the spacecraft.
Currently, the probe is only
transmitting data regarding the status
of the ship's engineering systems.
The next step is to enable
the spacecraft to begin
returning science data again, JPL statement, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that Voyager 1 has been in
operation for nearly half a century after launching
in 1977 with the goal of studying Jupiter and Saturn.
In August of 2012, Voyager crossed into
interstellar space, becoming the first
human-made object to leave the solar system.
The probe is currently traveling at a staggering
36,800 miles per hour through space.
NASA plans to collect data from the two
Voyager spacecraft for a few more years,
but the space agency expects to lose
contact with the probes within the next decade

NASA has unveiled striking images capturing the extensive flooding in the UAE following the recent torrential rainfall. Describing it as a "slow-moving storm," NASA highlighted the unprecedented deluge that inundated the Gulf states, surpassing a year's worth of rainfall in some regions. According to the UAE's meteorological department, the country received a staggering 6.04 billion cubic metres of rain last week, nearly equivalent to its annual precipitation of 6.7 billion cubic metres. This remarkable event underscores the magnitude of the weather phenomenon that swept across the region.

This Day in History: , Nuclear Disaster
at Chernobyl.
April 26, 1986.
The disaster at Chernobyl, located about 65 miles from Kiev in the former Soviet Union, is the worst nuclear power plant accident to date.
50 tons of radioactive material was released into the atmosphere after an explosion of the Number 4 reactor, caused by an engineering experiment.
The 30,000 residents of
the nearby community of
Pripyat were evacuated the next day.
The Soviet government
attempted a cover-up.
But two days after the disaster, radiation levels
800 miles away in Sweden were detected at
40% higher than the normal level.
32 people were initially
killed in the Chernobyl plant.
5,000 Soviets eventually died
from radiation-induced illnesses.
Millions of acres of forest
and farmland across Northern
and Eastern Europe were contaminated.
The former residents of
Pripyat have never returned
