#Sapce #Update
#China confirms that it's #Tiangong space station will host its first foreign astronaut: a #Pakistani, aboard Shenzhou-24. As @Space_Station nears retirement, Beijing is expanding its space diplomacy. #India has reason to take note.

In this week's #Parallax, I look at how #Space is back in the language of national ambition with Trump's new proclamation. The goings-on in India, including the unpalatable spat and why the sector may not wait for those who fall behind...

#Space #Update
An experimental inflatable structure designed as a precursor to future expandable space habitats has completed its near-space flight test, taking #Akashalabdhi a step closer to demonstrating tech for building infra in space.

In this week's #Parallax, Chethan Kumar writes, maybe it’s time to go beyond the narrow lens and look at cities through science. Not because science has all the answers to urban problems, but because it can help us understand why cities behave the way they do…

In this week's #Parallax, Chethan Kumar argues that IISc should be Isro’s #JPL! India’s space ambitions need a stronger bridge between fundamental research & space missions. @isro & @iiscbangalore already have the foundations. India now needs to build on them.

Told you so! ITBP DG Shatrujeet Singh Kapur confirms several face-offs between Chinese & Indian troops in Arunachal, including Taksing, which are still continuing. The face-offs were even taking place when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Delhi for BRICS. #IndiaChinaBorderRow

At work, “final” is a moving target, “soon” is a state of mind, and “yes” may mean “I heard you”. Long before #GenZ redefined emojis, we've all encountered the word-bending OGs.

In this week's #Parallax, Chethan Kumar argues that India must change its slogan to #MadeBYIndia from #MadeINIndia, lest it wants to become a nation that manufactures the future without owning it. It must learn to look at milestones like a marathon runner, not a PR agency!

@IIABengaluru researchers combined observations from the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) on Aditya-L1 & #ASPIICS coronagraph aboard Proba-3 to study two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) recorded on Sept 14 and 16, 2025. 2/n

The study, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, measured the eruptions’ mass, density and energy, providing new constraints on the physical processes that shape them in the Sun's inner corona. 3/n
Chethan Kumar retweeted
#CMEs are large eruptions in which the Sun ejects vast quantities of magnetised plasma into space. When directed towards Earth, they can disturb its space environment and affect satellites and other space-based systems… 4/n
Chethan Kumar retweeted
…Understanding their early evolution is crucial to improving our knowledge of these events and their potential consequences. Observing CMEs close to Sun has remained challenging. 5/n
Chethan Kumar retweeted
Earlier space-based coronagraphs couldn’t fully track early evolution of faint eruptions, leaving scientists with limited info on how their energy is divided between motion, heat and magnetic fields. 6/n
Chethan Kumar retweeted
The two missions offer complementary capabilities. VELC uses spectroscopy to study the solar corona, including the temp & density of its gas. ASPIICS captures images of corona using visible light and a green emission line. 7/n
