Scientists discovered new fossils of an ancient platypus species in South Australia showing it had teeth, unlike modern platypuses. The Platypus is a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia. It belongs to a rare group of mammals called monotremes (egg-laying mammals). It inhabits freshwater systems ranging from tropical Queensland to Tasmania and the Australian Alps. It spends much of its time in burrows along riverbanks. Its conservation status is Near Threatened (IUCN).

High above the Western Ghats, the X-band Doppler Weather Radar at Mahabaleshwar plays a silent yet powerful role—tracking rainfall, detecting storms, and helping predict extreme weather with precision. A true blend of science and safety, it strengthens early warning systems and protects lives across the region. 🌧️📡

Petroglyphs are prehistoric images, symbols, and carvings etched or engraved directly onto rock surfaces by ancient communities. These carvings serve as important archaeological records of early human life, migration patterns, belief systems, and ecological history. In Ladakh, petroglyphs depict hunting scenes, wild animals such as ibex and snow leopards, and later symbols of Buddhist culture including stupas and inscriptions, showing a long cultural transition over centuries.

India’s entry into Test cricket in 1932 was marked by consistent challenges. For nearly two decades, the team struggled to secure its first victory. Despite drawing matches against strong sides like England, Australia, and the West Indies, a win remained elusive. India had lost all six series they had played prior to 1952, reflecting the steep learning curve faced by a young cricketing nation.
