The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope specifically designed to conduct infrared astronomy. Its high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This enables investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) led Webb's design and development and partnered with two main agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland managed telescope development, while the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University operates Webb. The primary contractor for the project was Northrop Grumman. The telescope is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.

Is India a Hindu Rashtra? On Why it has been so for Thousands of Years!


The debate rages within India for declaring India a Hindu Rashtra. This debate is meaningless. Why? Because since times immemorial, the word Hindu has its roots in 'Himalayas' and 'Indu Sagar' (Indian Ocean) in Sanskrit. 'Hi' from the word Himalayas and 'Indu' from the word Indu Sagar.

India's Foreign Policy: Stuck in Game Theory's Prisoner's Dilemma---With Whom Should We Align?


Clarity in speech and actions follows clarity in thought. Clarity in thought is a by-product of an ordered mind which is possible only if you remove the past biases, cobwebs, and confusion which plague the mind.

China’s testing of the hypersonic boost glide missile on its 70th anniversary raises questions whether India should go in for the full order of five squadrons of the S-400 Triumf air defence missile system from Russia or wait and place orders for the other half of the deal for the S-500 Prometey which can intercept and destroy ICBMs and hypersonic cruise missiles and aircraft.
