Scientists find possible alien energy harnessing megastructures
Recently, an international team of researchers was put together to search for possible signs of ultra-complex megastructures called Dyson spheres that would theoretically enable a civilisation to harness the complete power of its star. The discovery of a Dyson sphere would prove the existence of vastly advanced extraterrestrial beings. It was only recently, that scientists found 7 such structures that were very similar to the theoretical sphere. While no one is completely sure about what these massive structures discovered are, if any single one is proven to be a Dyson sphere it could mean that there are vastly advanced alien races out there.
ISRO releases plan for Mangalyaan-2
Last week, ISRO unveiled its plan for its future Mars mission - Mangalyaan-2 to the public. The new mission will include a rover, a rotorcraft (helicopter), a sky crane and also a communications relay satellite which will be launched ahead of the mission to help ISRO communicate effectively with the rover and helicopter. The LVM-3 rocket will be used to launch Mangalyaan-2 which was also the same rocket used for Chandrayaan-3. Only 2 other countries have managed to land on Mars, and if the mission is successful, India will be the third.
