Twice a year, New Yorkers and photographers get front-row seats to an urban solstice — Manhattanhenge. This dazzling phenomenon happens when the sunset aligns perfectly with the Manhattan street grid, creating a glowing canyon of sunlight between the skyscrapers. Named by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, this event blends science, geometry, and skyline beauty. Be sure to catch it on major cross streets like 42nd or 57th for the best view. Just like Stonehenge honors the solstice, Manhattanhenge is our modern-day city tribute to the cosmos. #Manhattanhenge #SunsetMagic #UrbanSolstice #NYCEvents #PhotographyHeaven

Types of "Holes" in the Cosmos Not all cosmic "holes" are the same — and they’re not just empty space. #blackholes #whiteholes #wormholes #universe #cosmos #astronomy #spacefacts #physics

The stars stretch endlessly across the cosmos. Are we the only ones watching... or just the only ones who know? 👁️

India has taken a giant leap in affordable space technology. Agnikul Cosmos, a Chennai-based startup, successfully launched its Agnibaan SOrTeD rocket—powered by the world’s first single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine. This innovation isn't just a technical milestone—it signals a new era of low-cost, high-impact aerospace development. Designed and built entirely in-house, the engine simplifies manufacturing and increases reliability by eliminating joints and welds. This achievement also highlights India’s growing influence in the global private space sector. As nations race to commercialize space, Agnikul's model could enable smaller countries and private players to enter orbit without billion-dollar budgets. Backed by support from ISRO and IIT Madras, the startup has demonstrated that with the right mix of talent and technology, space access can be democratized—even from a university lab in Chennai. #Agnikul #IndiaSpaceTech #3DPrintedRocket #SpaceInnovation #AffordableAerospace #ISRO #StartupIndia #TechRevolution

During the Northridge Earthquake in 1994, much of Los Angeles experienced power outages. According to a report cited by astronomer Ed Krupp of the Griffith Observatory, some residents called emergency services to report an unfamiliar "cloud" or strange sky phenomenon. What they were actually seeing was the Milky Way, normally obscured by LA's severe light pollution. The sudden blackout revealed a night sky that many urban dwellers had never seen before, leading to confusion and surprise — not necessarily panic. The story has since been used in dark sky awareness campaigns to highlight how urban lighting hides the cosmos from millions of people.
