In a landmark astronomical discovery, scientists have captured the first direct image of two black holes orbiting each other, confirming a long-held prediction about the universe’s most mysterious entities. The extraordinary observation was made in the distant galaxy OJ287, located about 5 billion light-years from Earth. The two black holes — one estimated to be 18 billion times the mass of the Sun, and the smaller companion significantly less massive — are locked in a cosmic dance, circling each other once every 12 years.   The discovery was made possible…

The Government of India has officially designated three major ports — Deendayal Port (Kandla, Gujarat), V.O. Chidambaranar Port (Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu), and Paradip Port (Odisha) — as Green Hydrogen Hubs under its National Green Hydrogen Mission. This strategic decision aims to create a robust ecosystem for the production, storage, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives (like green ammonia) by leveraging the infrastructure and strategic locations of these major ports.   These ports are being identified as the first nodes to build infrastructure for green hydrogen, green ammonia and…
