The uncrewed flight will validate corrective measures applied after problems were detected in the spacecraft's first crewed flight in 2024. NASA will invest $359 million in improvements and certify the Vulcan rocket.

    First Quadruple-Double Radio Galaxy Discovered

    Astronomers have discovered the first 'quadruple-double' radio galaxy, where the central supermassive black hole launched powerful jets on four separate occasions. The galaxy, J023721.13−010528.5, is located about 4 billion light-years away and spans 3.9 million light-years. High-resolution observations from GMRT, MeerKAT, and VLA reveal four nested pairs of hotspots, each representing a distinct outburst. The outbursts occurred at different epochs, with the youngest being around 4.5 million years old and the oldest around 20.5 million years old. The discovery challenges previous understanding of radio galaxy activity and suggests that giant S-shaped radio galaxies may be the best places to find more of these rare multi-episode systems.

    Indian Stock Markets Tumble on Geopolitical Uncertainty, Oil Price Surge

    Indian stock markets witnessed a significant downturn on Monday, September 28, with the Sensex plunging over 1,100 points and the Nifty dropping below 22,900. The decline was driven by renewed geopolitical uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz, which pushed crude oil prices higher, and heavy foreign institutional selling. Markets opened lower and extended their losing streak throughout the day, with all sectoral indices trading in the red. Banking, financials, and realty were among the top losers.
