Scientists know what's going on under the crust of the planets that are millions and billions of miles away from us. And they don't even need to go there, drill through their surface, and peek inside! They combine information about the planet's density, magnetic field, mountain ranges, heat, and seismic activity to make their smart assumptions. For example, Earth's magnetic field shields us and the atmosphere from solar flares and solar winds. Scientists believe that it exists thanks to a hot iron core inside the planet.
If many earthquakes happen on the planet, there's a lot going on under the surface. If we talk about Earth, it's the movements of tectonic plates. Most earthquakes happen along their edges. But what about other planets? Let's find out! Today, you're about to figure out what lies under the surface of each planet in the Solar System! Get into your spaceship equipped with the largest drill you can only imagine – and off you go!

Have you heard about the upcoming cosmic clash of black holes? It sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it's actually happening! Two black holes are on a collision course, and when they finally merge, it'll create a massive cosmic event, releasing incredible amounts of energy. You might wonder if Earth will feel any effects from this colossal event, but don't worry—we're completely safe. These black holes are so far away that their collision won't have any impact on us other than giving astronomers something really exciting to study.

Scientists "took a picture" of the Big Bang by capturing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which is like the afterglow of the Big Bang. They used satellites like the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) and the Planck spacecraft to measure this ancient light. These instruments detected faint microwave signals that have been traveling through space for about 13.8 billion years. By analyzing these signals, scientists created a detailed map of the early universe, showing tiny temperature fluctuations. This "picture" helps us understand the universe's origins and how it has evolved over time.

In 2023, India made history by successfully landing on the other side of the moon with its Chandrayaan-3 mission. This achievement marked a huge milestone for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and showcased India's growing capabilities in space exploration. The mission aimed to study the moon's geology and search for water ice, which could be crucial for future lunar missions. Scientists and the public alike were thrilled with the wealth of data and stunning images sent back. This accomplishment has ignited even more excitement and ambition for India's future space endeavors!
