ISRO has invited Indian researchers to submit proposals to access data from the Aditya L1 solar mission in a second round. The call offers potential access to more than 27 TB of observations, some of which have already supported scientific publications. Approved observations for this cycle are expected to run between July and September, giving scientists a new window to decode solar activity.
New field research suggests octopuses, unlike humans, don’t rely on a single dominant arm. Instead, they tend to use their front four arms for exploring and their rear arms more often for movement. The findings point to a flexible, redundant limb system that helps octopuses adapt and multitask in their natural habitats.

Artemis astronauts on a Moon flyby will rely on their eyes as a primary scientific instrument, trained like field observers rather than just technology operators. Building on Apollo’s legacy, they’ll examine lunar sites and phenomena, focusing on subtle color variations to infer composition and history. Mission reports are expected to deliver unusually detailed human descriptions of the lunar surface.
