Hubble Seeks Clusters in Lost Galaxy

Handout Photo shows NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely faint, giving it the nickname ‘Lost Galaxy’. With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across and its location above Earth’s light-obscuring atmosphere, Hubble can easily observe dim galaxies like NGC 4535 and pick out features like its massive spiral arms and central bar of stars. This image features NGC 4535’s young star clusters, which dot the galaxy’s spiral arms. Glowing-pink clouds surround many of these bright-blue star groupings. These clouds, called H II (‘H-two’) regions, are a sign that the galaxy is home to especially young, hot, and massive stars that blaze with high-energy radiation. Such massive stars shake up their surroundings by heating their birth clouds with powerful stellar winds, eventually exploding as supernovae. The image incorporat

China: Chicken Seen Swimming in Sichuan

On November 2, 2025, a video from Sichuan, southwestern China, showed a chicken effortlessly swimming in a pond, while a duck looked on curiously from a blue platform. Normally, chickens flounder and sink in water, but this one moved easily across the surface.

Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: The rivers and canals around Dhaka were once vital sanctuaries of biodiversity. Countless fish swam in their waters, serving as the main food source for fish-eating birds. But now that scene belongs to the past. What was once clear water is now occupied by heaps of garbage. Plastic, polythene, industrial waste, and household trash have severely polluted the water. Faced with a food crisis, fish-eating egrets are being forced to search for food in these piles of waste. Their natural food—fish—is no longer easily available, compelling them to look for alternatives. In Bangladesh, the filling up of rivers and wetlands, illegal encroachment, and plastic pollution together are pushing aquatic ecosystems towards destruction. These wetlands once provided shelter to thousands of native and migratory birds. But in recent years, their numbers have sharply declined. From the haors to Dhaka’s Turag and Balu rivers and other wetlands, the picture is the same: encroachment, landfilling,

Sustainable Management of Water and Sanitation - Indonesia

Using conventional method equipment, an expert and his colleague, Suhendi, 45, are searching for the depth of a drilled well to get a source of clean water in the USU Residence III complex, Pewarta Foto Indonesia (PFI) Medan cluster, Patumbak, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on May 5, 2025. The availability of clean water for subsidized houses in Indonesia is a crucial issue that is closely related to the existence of water throughout the world, which globally 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, although only about 3% is fresh water, and most of it is bound in glaciers and ice sheets, defining the amount of fresh water that is easily accessible for human needs is very limited. Globally, billions of people still do not have access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation. Efforts to provide clean water for subsidised houses in Indonesia are part of Target 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), which is to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation

The sheer number of insects, densely packed and hovering in the air, created a sight that could easily trigger discomfort for those with a fear of clusters. Chinese netizens joked that running through the swarm with an electric mosquito swatter would create a satisfying buzz.
