Light-polluted cloud-filled skies of Kochi couldn’t hide the distant wanderer Comet C/2023 A3 from me. A dream for a comet researcher. Finally captured. See you after 80,000 years.

Hey tribe, it is a bit long-ish but spoken, unscripted, from the heart, hope you like it!

Montelukast is widely prescribed in India, and sales appear to be rising. This is despite several reported adverse effects, including nightmares, depression, death by suicide. Sanjitha Muneeswaran and I make a case for stricter regulations @the_hindu 1/n

Dear Researchers,

I'm excited to share the intro to my YouTube channel where I will be teaching scientific illustration. Let's learn how to create effective illustrations and figures for your research paper.
https://t.co/w77ARVvWBb

We will focus on learning Blender, Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator for now.
Adobe Illustrator is a paid tool inkscape is the free alternative. Blender is free.

I invite you all to subscribe to the Scidart YouTube channel and share it with your research community. Let's learn and grow together! Kindly retweet and share with your fellow researchers.

PRL-Physical Research Laboratory-built APXS on Pragyan Rover of Chandrayaan-3 made the First Elemental Abundance Measurements of Lunar Soil in the South Polar Region of the Moon

A team of scientists from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), Ahmedabad, and ISRO, has reported the first in-situ elemental abundance of lunar soil near the Southern Polar region using measurements made by the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on the Pragyan rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. This study published in the journal Nature has provided evidence that supports the Lunar Magma Ocean hypothesis, which predicts that the primordial lunar crust was formed as a result of the floatation of lighter anorthite plagioclase — but, APXS also detected higher abundance of magnesium-rich minerals, suggesting contributions from deeper layer material ejected from South Pole-Aitken basin during its formation. The analysis from 23 measurements at different locations within 50-metre of the Chandrayaan-3 landing site – Shiv Shakti point – showed that the lunar regolith is uniform in elemental composition, and hence can serve as an excellent ground truth for future remote sensing missions.

The original article entitled “Chandrayaan-3 APXS elemental abundance measurements at lunar high latitude”, authored by Santosh V. Vadawale (PRL) et al., Nature, is available at;

I love real time display videos of AO system closing its corrective loop on a star. I took many such videos with NACO, SPHERE (SINFONI took longer to reconstruct an image) but also during my PhD with the instrument I built (speckle patterns at 4 wavelengths). #CancelAtmosphere
