New space telescope will let us look back millions of years

A powerful new space telescope to be launched this month will look back more than 100 million years ago to when the first stars and galaxies formed. NASA technicians lift the James Webb Space Telescope with its 18-segmented gold mirror inside a clean room at NASA’s G😊oddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, USA. (Photo courtesy NASA/Desiree Stover) In their final hour on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placed a 60-cm wide panel pointed at the Earth studded with mirrors near the landing site of Apollo 11. It had the catchy name of the “lunar laser ranging retro-reflector array.” And it’s the only Apollo science experiment still working. Because of laser pulses sent from Earth, which regularly “ping” the instrument, we know how long light takes to reflect from the moon. Every time we look at the moon, we are seeing 1.3 seconds into the past. Further away in our solar system, light from our nearest star, the sun, takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach us. But light from Alpha Ce...

Sunny Leone's new song 'Madhuban' is just another raunchy club number. Then why reference Radha, and Dilip Kumar's original?

Sunny Leone's music video has incited a storm of outrage among Hindus, specially the priests of Mathura, who have accused the song of hurting religious sentiments. This once, I have to agree that the referential arc of the song is most uncalled for. Sunny Leone in 'Madhuban' The words of Sunny Leone's new song ' Madhuban ,' originally written by the great poet, the " bade dinon ke bard" Shakeel Badayuni for the 1960 film Kohinoor , instantly evokes fond, reverential memories of the great Mohammed Rafi singing for the mighty Dilip Kumar as Kumkum danced on the elegant rhythms of maestro Naushad’s composition. I remember Kumar talking at length about this monumental musical odyssey. “I’ve done some really difficult songs on screen. I even dared to sing with Lata (Mangeshkar) in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Musafir ('Lagi Nahi Chhute Rama,' composed by Salil Chowdhary). But nothing compares...
