Know Our Sun : Aditya L1
The First space-based Indian solar mission by the Indian Space & Research Organization (ISRO), “Aditya L1”. Aditya refers to the sun in Sanskrit, and L1 is the location of the satellite (Lagrange point 1), which is approximately 1.5 million km from our planet. The precise locations that Joseph Louis Lagrange, a mathematician, found where the gravitational pulls of the sun and the Earth are balanced are known as Lagrange points. The major advantage of the L1 point is the continuous viewing of the sun without any occultation. On September 2, 2023, at 11:50 IST, the PSLV C57 launched the Aditya-L1 satellite into orbit and recently completed its fourth earthbound manoeuvres successfully. The current orbit is 256 km × 121973 km in dimension. On September 3, 5, and 10, respectively, the first, second, and third earth-bound manoeuvres were successfully executed. The movements are being carried out during the spacecraft's 16-day tour surrounding the Earth, which will provide the spacecraft with the requisite velocity for its subsequent mission to L1. The overall duration of travel from launch to L-1 (Lagrange point) of Aditya L1 would be around four months.

The Bermuda Triangle: An Ocean Mystery
On the 5th of December 1945, five US Navy torpedo bomber aircraft took out from Florida. It was a typical training operation that lasted three hours. They weren't doing anything extraordinary; they were just flying their routine training missions. The name of the endeavor was Flight 19. The flight crew, which included 14 people, was piloted by a highly skilled veteran of combat. From Florida, these five aircraft flew eastward. Everything was as it should have been; the sky was clear, but approximately two hours after departure, their squadron leader reported that their compass had developed some abrupt issues. Their compass ceased to function. They enquired with the pilots of the other planes, but their instruments were also inoperable. Lt Charles Carol Taylor led the squadron, and when the compass failed, absolutely perplexing messages were relayed over radio communication. Taylor's last radio transmission arrives at 7:04 PM. All five aircraft are subsequently lost for all time. Following the disappearance of Flight 19, a Search-and-Rescue Mariner aircraft with a crew of 13 took off. They were on a mission to locate Flight 19. However, while looking for them, they also vanish.
