    Featured Stories This is the first image Perseverance sent back after touching down on Mars on Feb. 18, 2021. The view, from one of Perseverance's Hazard Cameras, is partially obscured by a dust cover. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Perseverance Lands on Mars! By Taylor Hill It’s confirmed: Jezero Crater will be the proving ground for the Perseverance rover to further our search for ancient Martian life. After seven minutes screaming through the Martian atmosphere, the Perseverance rover and its helicopter stowaway Ingenuity touched down safely on Mars. Perseverance mission commentator and guidance, navigation, and controls operations Lead Swati Mohan made the call at 12:55 p.m.; "Touchdown confirmed, Perseverance safely on the surface of Mars, ready to begin seeking the signs of past life." The first image taken by the rover's engineering camera was beamed back a mere two minutes later, providing visual evidence that the rover was truly safe on Mars' rocky red soil. Universe | March 2021 | Page 1 At JPL, select members of the Mars 2020 team, JPL Director Mike Watkins, NASA Acting Administrator Steve Jurczyk, NASA Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate Thomas Zurbuchen, and NASA Science Mission Directorate’s Planetary Science Division Director Lori Glaze cheered upon touchdown from the socially-distanced Mission Support Area (MSA) in Building 230, while a majority of the Mars 2020 team and the Lab watched a livestream from their homes—a markedly different landing day experience compared to past missions due to Covid safety precautions. At the time of landing, more than 2,600 JPLers were watching the Zoom livestream, while more than 2.2 million members of the public from around the world watched the NASA.gov Youtube livestream of the landing.

  • The Bindi Scientist Makes India Proud Dr Neelam Batra-Verma “Hi Doc
    The bindi scientist makes India proud Dr Neelam Batra-Verma “Hi doc, how are you?” “I am good. Thanks for speaking with us.” “Are you kidding? People from Indian descent are taking over the country. You, my Vice President (Kamala Harris), my speech writer (Vinay Reddy), and so many more,” said President of America Joe Biden to Indo-American scientist Swati Mohan while congratulating the NASA team on their successful landing of the six-wheeled rover Perseverance on Mars. Biden’s excitement, thrill and pride while talking to Mohan was apparent on his face as Swati talked about her beginning and the feelings of the team before the landing. This is how President of America started his conversation last week with the Indian descent aerospace engineer Swati Mohan, whose contribution in the successful landing of NASA’s Perseverance rover has been appreciated around the world. “In addition to those fantastical scenes of space, what really captured my attention was this really close-knit team which was working together, manipulating this technological marvel with the sole purpose of exploring space and understanding new things and seeking new life,” Swati told the President. Of course, due to pandemic, no need to mention that the tete-e-tete happened virtually. Talking to the President, Swati said “You know, Perseverance is my first mission at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), where I’ve gotten to work from the very beginning of formulation, all the way through operations, and it made me feel like I was part of that crew. Being able to work with this incredibly diverse, talented team that has become like a family, spending years creating our own technological marvel has been a privilege.” After months of hard work, the team is heaved well deserved relief.

SC refuses to review verdict on protesters - The Supreme Court has refused to reconsider its judgement that the Shaheen Bagh protests against the ​ Citizenship (Amendment) Act were inconvenient for commuters. The original judgment of October 7 last year ​ declared the demonstrations and road blockades in the Shaheen Bagh area of the national capital as “unacceptable”. The Review Bench, which comprised the same judges who delivered the original judgment, said it did not find any “error apparent warranting reconsideration” in the verdict. ​ ​ 2. Lockdown: SC allows 100% fee collection by Rajasthan schools - The Supreme Court has stayed a Rajasthan High Court order to schools affiliated to Central and State secondary education boards to collect only 60% of the tuition fee for the lockdown period. Bench led by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar allowed schools to collect the entire arrears in six monthly instalments from March to August 2021. - In case parents have difficulty in paying the arrears, they should be allowed to approach the school authorities through individual representations. The management would consider them on a “case to case basis ​ sympathetically”, the apex court said. ​ 3. 22-year-old activist sent to Delhi police custody - Disha Ravi, a 22year old climate activist, was remanded in custody of the Delhi police for five days after she was arrested from Bengaluru for allegedly sharing with Greta Thunberg a “toolkit” related to the farmers’ protests. The police said Ms. Ravi had edited the “toolkit” on February 3.
