On June 27, 2026, an IndiGo A320 became the first jet in India to land using Gagan, the country's own satellite navigation system. Here is how this technology guides aircraft to the runway without any ground-based radio equipment.

The southwest monsoon has slipped into another prolonged pause, with satellite imagery showing sparse rain-bearing clouds over much of India. The slowdown has widened the national rainfall deficit to 45% and raised concern over sowing, reservoirs and power demand.

In a milestone column reflecting on India's structural shifts, five long-term, unstoppable trends are evaluated--ranging from changing democratic spaces and economic consolidation to the rise of cultural nationalism.

A rare Hen Harrier has vanished from a North Wales grouse moor in what wildlife investigators are calling a deliberate killing and the evidence is as chilling as it is familiar.

From the cratered companion that lights Earth's night sky to the hundreds of icy worlds circling the Solar System's giant planets, moons are among the most fascinating objects in space. Over the past few decades, powerful telescopes and deep-space missions have transformed our understanding of these natural satellites, revealing hidden oceans, active volcanoes, methane lakes and even environments that could potentially support life.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has given astronomers an opportunity they rarely expect to receive. Unlike the countless icy bodies that circle the Sun, this object formed around another star before drifting into our solar system, carrying frozen material that has remained largely unchanged for billions of years.

Satellite imagery shows large parts of India without the deep rain clouds expected in late June despite the monsoon's advance. Forecasters say a developing system over the eastern Indian Ocean could revive rainfall, though its timing remains uncertain.

The Centre has dropped the proposed 20% local sourcing requirement from final satellite telecom rules. The change eases entry for global satcom operators, though localisation questions remain.

Getting stuck in sand has ended dreams of exploration before. On Mars, where loose dunes, soft soil and rocky terrain stretch for thousands of kilometres, a trapped rover can mean the loss of years of scientific work and millions in investment.
