Terror fissures
The terror spectre from across the western frontier continues unabated. This past weekend, the terrorists belonging to TTP tried to infiltrate North Waziristan, but the intrusion attempt was repulsed by security forces. As many as 37 of the dreaded elements were condemned to hell. It is the violent activities like this one – reflecting Kabul's appeasement of terrorists – that compelled Pakistan to launch Operation Ghazab Lil Haq in February. The hot pursuit, thus, was inevi...
The carbon footprint of war
One important aspect of the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, which is being ignored completely, is its environmental impact. A conscious mind can estimate that environmental debris now has long-term consequences, even if the conflict is resolved immediately. The oil facilities being hit and set ablaze release huge quantities of CO2, soot, sulfur dioxide and other hazardous gases into the atmosphere. These pollutants will travel far beyond the conflict zone, carried by reg...
Scientists identify ‘neural fingerprint’ of psychedelic drugs in the brain
Analysis of more than 500 brain scans finds LSD, psilocybin and other psychedelics increase cross-talk between brain systemsScientists have identified a hallmark signature produced by psychedelic drugs in the human brain when users experience their mind-altering effects.The “neural fingerprint” of the psychedelic trip was spotted among hundreds of brain scans of people on LSD, psilocybin, DMT, mescaline and ayahuasca, pointing to a shared impact on the brain’s behaviour.

It's time for Artemis II to break Apollo 13's distance record. What to know about the moon flyby
The Artemis II astronauts are already the champions of a fresh new era of lunar exploration. Now it’s time to set a new distance record.Launched last week on humanity’s first trip to the moon since 1972, the three Americans and one Canadian are chasing after Apollo 13’s maximum range from Earth. That will make them our planet’s farthest emissaries as they swing around the moon without stopping on Monday and then hightail it back home.Their roughly six-hour lunar flyby promises views of the moon...
When extreme weather becomes everyday
According to the Kenya Meteorological Department, April marks the peak of the March-April-May rainy season in East Africa. The department says this shift from prolonged drought to unpredictable, heavy rainfall reflects a changing climate, as once-reliable seasonal patterns become increasingly erratic and less dependable for agriculture and planning.Natural climate cycles such as El Nino and La Nina have always shaped this variability. Kenya has experienced their extremes before, from the devasta...

Artemis moon mission breaks record for distance from Earth
The four astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II mission reached the furthest point that any human has been from Earth on Monday, cruising along a path in the Moon’s gravitational sphere of influence that will soon take them over the shadowed, lunar far side. The Artemis II crew, flying in their Orion capsule since launching from Florida last week, awoke around 10:50 a.m. ET for their sixth flight day to a recorded message from late Apollo 8 and 13 astronaut Jim Lovell. “Welcome to...

Nasa Artemis II astronauts to fly by moon’s far side
A Nasa crew of four astronauts will fly by the moon on Monday at the closest distance they will get to the lunar surface during their mission and the nearest any human has got to the moon in more than 50 years. The historic moment is set to occur just after 7pm New York time on Monday, part of a several hours-long fly-by where the astronauts will snap images of the moon’s far side – a vantage that is never seen from Earth. The close approach is the pinnacle moment of Nasa’s Artemis II mission,.....
