Indias Chandrayaan along with NASA finds water on Moon

India's first moon mission has found water on the moon. The credit goes to one of the scientific instruments(Known as M3 - Moon Minerology Mapper) owned by NASA. This instrument was on-board Chandrayaan. Sniffing for water on the moon was one of the main objectives of the mission said Dr Mylswamy Annadurai, the project director of Chandrayaan-1.

The Moon mapper also made the unexpected discovery that water may still be forming on the surface of the Moon, according to scientists familiar with the mission.

Though it may take time, but this, I feel, would trigger a series of moon missions for India. Today I am a very proud Indian congratulating the whole Chandrayaan-I team at ISRO. Looking fwd for an Indian manned moon mission.

Hubble is back in business.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is back in business, ready to uncover new worlds, peer ever deeper into space, and even map the invisible backbone of the universe. The first snapshots from the refurbished Hubble showcase the 19-year-old telescope's new vision. Topping the list of exciting new views are colorful multi-wavelength pictures of far-flung galaxies, a densely packed star cluster, an eerie "pillar of creation," and a "butterfly" nebula. With its new imaging camera, Hubble can view galaxies, star clusters, and other objects across a wide swath of the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet to near-infrared light.
Here are a few samples of what the upgraded Hubble can do...
