5 times bigger than earth, this planet has huge deposits of diamond, its name is… Diamond Planet: The universe and space are very vast subjects and we are still learning and studying them. We have made several discoveries, even our unmanned spacecraft has reached interstellar space, but space is still a mystery for us. The American space agency NASA has made significant discoveries in the field of space that have proven to be very helpful for us. Diamonds are very expensive in the world because of their glittery nature and rarity. We have a very limited stock of diamonds, and that is why the prices of this glittery stone continue to increase. But what if we say that there's a planet in space that is full of diamonds? Yes, you read that right. NASA's James Webb Telescope discovered a planet that may be full of diamonds. The planet is five times bigger than our planet and it is only 41 light-years away from us. This discovery has given rise to new possibilities. Planet Full Of Diamonds Known as 55 Cancri-E, the planet has been classified as a super-earth. A large part of which may be made up of carbon structures like diamonds and graphite. According to NASA scientists, the atmosphere of 55 Cancri-E is different from Earth. Scientists have also found signs of the presence of a special atmosphere around it. Temperature Of 2400 Degrees Celsius According to reports, this planet is located very near to its star, due to which its temperature is also very high. 55 Cancri-E completes one revolution of its orbit in just 17 hours and due to which its temperature touches 2400 degrees Celsius. Zero Life Possibility Intense heat has rendered this planet a molten lava world, making the existence of life highly improbable. However, the recent discovery of carbon-based planets suggests new possibilities for future applications. Further research on this planet's composition could reveal valuable resources for future use. However, this discovery of carbon-based planets has given rise to new possibilities. Scientists believe that studying the planet in more depth can open new doors for us and its elements can be used in the future.

Humans Landed On Moon In 1969, Why Conspiracy Theories Still Doubt It
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," said astronaut Neil Armstrong after stepping on the Moon on July 20, 1969. It's been over five decades, but conspiracy theorists still doubt it. On Sunday (July 20), NASA shared a post on Instagram to mark 56 years since the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed on the lunar surface, which was a historic achievement in space exploration. The space agency wrote: "We're going back." View this post on Instagram A post shared by NASA (@nasa) All About The Apollo 11 Mission The primary goals of the mission were to land on the Moon, conduct scientific experiments and return safely to Earth. The Moon landing paved the way for future space exploration and inspired generations of scientists, engineers and astronauts. "56 years ago, NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the Moon, becoming the first humans to walk on the lunar surface," NASA said in the Instagram post. "Now, we're working with international and commercial partners to return to the Moon and establish the first long-term presence there, which is a critical step toward our first crewed missions to Mars." What Do Conspiracy Theories Say About The Moon Landing? The Moon landing conspiracy theory, mostly circulated on social media, suggests that the United States government faked or staged the Apollo Moon landings. Some even claimed that the landings were filmed in a studio or that the astronauts did not actually walk on the Moon's surface. Users on social media also claimed that the American flag planted on the Moon appears to be waving in the wind, even though there is no atmosphere on the Moon. Photos taken by the astronauts on the Moon's surface do not show any stars in the background, which some believe is evidence that the photos were taken in a studio. There are also claims that the astronauts would have been exposed to lethal radiation during their trip to the Moon, making it impossible for them to survive. The theories argue why it is taking so many years to go back to the Moon with far better technology as compared to the 1960s. Scientific Proof To Debunk The Viral Theories Experts have provided evidence and scientific explanations to debunk these claims. Scientists have noted that the flag's motion is caused by the motion from the astronauts as they planted it in the ground, not wind. They also revealed that cameras used by the astronauts were set to capture images of the bright lunar surface, and the stars were not visible due to overexposure. In regard to radiation claims, the experts said that the astronauts wore protective suits and the spacecraft had shielding to minimise exposure. The Apollo astronauts also brought back more than 800 pounds of Moon rocks and soil, which have been extensively studied by scientists and confirmed to have originated from the Moon.

Students join Isro pioneers at Spark India event
In a stride towards nurturing scientific minds, students of Helios International School attended the Spark India programme inauguration at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) on June 6. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The programme, a collaboration between , Indo Science Education Trust and SPPU, aimed to instill scientific temper and enhance Stem engagement among students. The panel included former Isro chairman AS Kiran Kumar, SPPU vice chancellor Dr Suresh Gosavi, Isro-SPPU Space Technology Centre director Dr Arvind Shaligram, former Isro director Dr Pramod Kale and Indo Science Education Trust founder and president Dr Santosh Pise. The event featured the 111th Isro space exhibition, showcasing models, simulations and interactive exhibits. Students engaged with space scientists through demonstrations and discussions. Space pioneers were also felicitated. All Sankalp students return with a medal Students from Sankalp Valley School dominated the Pune District Kudo Federation Championship held on July 12-13. The team of 29 participants displayed their prowess in martial arts, securing 23 gold medals and 6 silver medals. Students went through months of intensive training and holistic development under coach Saurabh Jadhav. Principal Mikita Kale praised the achievement, highlighting that each medal represented the students' determination and the school's ethos.
