-&nbsp;NASA scientists have discovered a &ldquo;weird&rdquo; molecule called cyclopropenylidene, or C3H2, in the atmosphere of Saturn&rsquo;s moon Titan. 
- The simple carbon-based molecule has never been seen in an atmosphere before, and it could give rise to more complex compounds and contribute to the conditions needed for life.

ESA&rsquo;s Lunar Pathfinder mission to the Moon will carry an advanced satellite navigation receiver, in order to perform the first ever satnav positioning fix in lunar orbit. This experimental payload marks a preliminary step in an ambitious ESA plan to expand reliable satnav coverage &ndash; as well as communication links &ndash; to explorers around and ultimately on the Moon during this decade. Navigation satellites like Europe&rsquo;s Galileo constellation are intended to deliver positioning, navigation and timing services to our planet, so most of the energy of their navigation antennas radiates directly towards the Earth disc, blocking its use for users further away in space.&nbsp;

A machine learning algorithm that predicts suicide attempt recently underwent a prospective trial at the institution where it was developed, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Over the 11 consecutive months concluding in April 2020, predictions ran silently in the background as adult patients were seen at VUMC.
The algorithm, dubbed the Vanderbilt Suicide Attempt and Ideation Likelihood (VSAIL) model, uses routine information from electronic health records (EHRs) to calculate 30-day risk of return visits for suicide attempt, and, by extension, suicidal ideation.

NASA recently discovered 16 Psyche or Psyche 16 asteroid using the Hubble Telescope. If the estimates are correct this metal and nickel asteroid could be valued more the $10,000 Quadrillion, more than the economy of all the countries on the earth combined.
NASA has also launched Psyche mission which will see a spacecraft visiting the 16 Psyche asteroid's orbit by 2026, this mission maybe similar to one NASA carried on the Bennu asteroid recently. The Psyche 16 is located inside the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

A new scientific development has been in talks with scientists discovering a new species of ancient winged shark, which fed on plankton eons before the emergence of giant manta rays.
 According to new research published in the journal Science, the ancient winged shark, nicknamed the 'eagle shark', is the second known plankton-eating fish discovered from the last epoch when dinosaurs still ruled the earth.
 Eagle shark, Aquilolamna millrace, lived around 93 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period and its fossil was discovered in the northeast of Mexico.
 The specimen of the eagle shark had unusual proportions, a fin span of about 1.9 meters and a length from head to tail of about 1.65 meters, however, this left the scientists amazed.
 Until this discovery, scientists had only known of one category of large plankton feeders in the Cretaceous period, a group of large bony fish known as pachycormidae.

Researchers in France's Bordeaux analysed&nbsp;nearly a dozen bottles of Chateau Petrus Pomerol wine that spent close to a year in space.
The wine, along with 320 snippets of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapevines, came back to Earth after spending a year aboard the International Space Station for agricultural research.
Preliminary results were announced on Wednesday, when scientists said that weightlessness did not ruin the wine, and it seemed to energise it.
The initiative is a part of a larger effort to make plants on Earth more resilient to climate change by exposing them to different and newer stresses and to understand the fermentation and ageing of wine better.
While tasting, some researchers said the wine had aromas of cured leather or a campfire. Such experiments could help scientists create sturdier vines on Earth and maybe pave the way for wine-making in space.

The Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars on 6 August 2012, has captured stunning footage of clouds passing over the Martian surface. Shot by cameras attached to the top of the rover, the five-minute-clip shows clouds above the surface of Mars. The footage was captured on 19 March 2021. According to a report in the Independent, five minutes of time has been captured by the navigation camera on Curiosity in eight separate visuals that have been stitched together. The clouds seen in the video appear to be moving similarly to those on Earth. But the report mentions that due to the vast difference in atmospheres of the two planets, the clouds must have formed in different ways.

SpaceX is all set to launch its next fleet of Starlink satellites into orbit for the company's broadband megaconstellation. 60 Starlink internet satellites on the Falcon 9 rocket will be sent into orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Wednesday's flight, the Starlink 22 mission, is the fourth Starlink mission this month and the 23rd overall for the upcoming internet service. SpaceX's goal is to provide high-speed internet access to users around the world through its Starlink megaconstellation. To date, SpaceX has launched more than 1,300 of the internet-beaming satellites into orbit, in an effort to fill out its planned initial constellation of 1,440 spacecraft.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has revealed the origins of Jupiter's spectacular&nbsp;auroral dawn storms, for the first time.
Before Juno, observations of the aurora were done partially&nbsp;by ground-based and Earth-orbiting observatories, notably NASA&rsquo;s Hubble Space Telescope.&nbsp;Juno's data, scientists say is a game-changer, since it offers a better understanding of the planet's&nbsp;nightside, where the storms originate.
Researchers have concluded that as Jupiter rotates, this storm rotates along with it from the nightside&nbsp;to the dayside, where the auroral features become brighter, emitting hundreds and thousands of gigawatts of UV light into space.

Billions of years ago, Mars was not the desolate rock that we now know it as. It was home to several oceans and lakes, but where all this water went, was quite a mystery.
Now, a new study funded by space agency NASA&nbsp;states that most of this water is buried under the surface of the red planet, trapped within the minerals in its crust.&nbsp;The study states that approximately&nbsp;30-99% of the initial water is still trapped in the planet's crust.
Researchers say the&nbsp;Perseverance rover, which landed last month for a multiyear science mission on the planet, might be able to contribute to the area of research.

Scientists have captured magnificent photographs of a glow-in-the-dark shark, for the first time ever.&nbsp;The kitefin shark was found&nbsp;off the east coast of&nbsp;New Zealand's South Island. The species is the world's largest known&nbsp;bio-luminescent&nbsp;vertebrate, growing to nearly six feet in length. Experts say the shark species is very difficult to observe as they live approximately between 200 and 900 meters below surface of the ocean.&nbsp;The light helps protect the sharks from predators as they become invisible&nbsp;against the glow.&nbsp;

UN Secretary-General&nbsp;Ant&oacute;nio Guterres&nbsp;has said the planet is on a red alert as governments across the globe are failing to meet their climate change goals, and 2021 is a 'make or break year'.
The statement came during the release of a new report analysing&nbsp;the climate action plans submitted by 75 nations.&nbsp;It found that the current policies won't come close to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.&nbsp;
At this rate, we should expect more heat waves, wildfires, rise in sea level and food shortages for millions.&nbsp;The UN urged nations to step up their efforts in the fight against climate change.

The Indian Space Research Organisation&nbsp;successfully conducted its first launch of 2021, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on Sunday. An PSLV rocket blasted off into space with the 637-kg Amazonia-1 satellite of Brazil.
The nanosatellite is carrying a copy of the Bhagavad Gita in the form of an SD card and a photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the top panel, to show solidarity and gratitude for his aatmanirbhar initiative and space privatisation.
Isro&nbsp;says the satellite would strengthen the existing structure by providing remote sensing data to users for monitoring deforestation in the Amazon region and analysis of diversified agriculture across the Brazilian territory.

Collins Aerospace in Charlotte, North Carolina is celebrating its 20th anniversary of supporting Introduce a Girl to Engineering day, hosting more than 55 events in 13 countries.
Katie Cody with Collins Aerospace says that statistics show that girls begin to lose interest in STEM around the age of 10, and only 20% of bachelor's degrees awarded go to women. And in the workforce, only 13% of engineers are women.
One of the highlights this year is Time Magazine Kid of the Year, Gitanjali Rao, who conducted a virtual innovation workshop for girls around the world. NASA&nbsp;on Twitter wrote, 'Today on #IntroduceAGirlToEngineeringDay, we encourage all girls who are curious about how things work to pursue a career in engineering.'&nbsp;

Russian state laboratory on Tuesday said it is launching research into prehistoric viruses by analysing the remains of animals recovered from melted permafrost.
The research in collaboration with the University of Yakutsk&nbsp;will&nbsp;identify paleoviruses and conduct advanced research into virus evolution.&nbsp;
The tissue being studied at the Siberia-based lab has been extracted from a prehistoric horse believed to be at least 4,500 years old. The probe will also include&nbsp;remains of mammoths, elk, dogs, partridges, rodents, hares and other prehistoric animals.&nbsp;

NASA's&nbsp;Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover is ready to land on a compact (8-kilometre-by-6.4-kilometre) patch on the edge of an ancient river delta on Mars. The spot is filled with cliffs, pits, sand dunes and fields of rocks, any of which could doom the $3 billion mission.
The expedition to the red planet will search the once submerged terrain for evidence of past life and the rover will gather samples at this spot for return to Earth 10 years from now.
As per current plans, the rover will touch down on Thursday, Feb. 18.

The United Arab Emirates on Sunday published the first image for its Mars probe now circling the red planet.
The picture, taken Wednesday, shows sunlight just coming across the surface of Mars. It shows Mars' north pole, as well as Mars' largest volcano, Olympus Mons.
The image comes from its &ldquo;Amal,&rdquo; or &ldquo;Hope,&rdquo; space probe.
The probe swung into orbit around Mars on Tuesday in a triumph for the Arab world's first interplanetary mission. (AP) PMS PMS
