Using NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have assembled a new, improved portrait of our deepest-ever view of the universe, an image that reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever seen.
Future, even present, wars -- at least those involving such tech giants as China -- include hi-tech battlefields, which a Pakistan-obsessed India has not sufficiently prioritised. Today's generals plan on how to disrupt an enemy city's power supplies, rail networks, airports, ports, and government departments, not just by bombing or torpedoing them; they also examine the option of tripping up the computer networks that run these, notes David Devadas.
India successfully placed its spacecraft in orbit around Mars, becoming the first country in the world to succeed in such an inter-planetary mission in the maiden attempt itself.
The seats would be on board its CST-100 spacecraft, which it is developing under NASAs push for commercial crew spacecraft. The CST-100 could carry seven people and fly on multiple launch vehicles.

Sally Ride, the first US woman to go into space, has died after a 17-month battle against cancer. She was 61.
Amazing new images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft currently orbiting the planet give a spectacular view of Saturn's rings and its moons. The Cassini space probe, for the first time in two years, has been able to get a good view of the planet's famous rings owing to a recent change in the spacecraft's angle of orbit. It took seven years for Cassini to travel the two billion miles to Saturn. Here's a look at some stunning pictures of Saturn.

Juno's detailed study of the largest planet in our solar system will help reveal Jupiter's origin and evolution.
NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman has staged an "out of this world" concert, literally to salute 50 years of human spaceflight and the anniversary of the first launch of a human to space. Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin completed that milestone on April 12, 1961
India's successful launch of its Mars mission has been described by the mainstream American media as "technological leap" and "a symbolic coup" against China in this field.
A 2.4-tonne defunct satellite is expected to make a fiery death plunge to Earth this week, but exactly when and where the doomed satellite will fall still remains a mystery, German space scientists have said.
NASA's Kepler mission has discovered the first Earth-size planets orbiting a sun-like star outside our solar system. The planets, called Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, are too close to their star to be in the so-called habitable zone where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface, but they are the smallest exoplanets ever confirmed around a star like our sun
US space shuttle Discovery lifted off for its final flight from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to deliver a new module and critical supplies to the International Space Station, late Thursday night.
