Over the years, it has transformed into a platform that fosters international collaboration, ignites inspiration in future generations, and underscores the transformative potential of science in shaping a more serene and sustainable world.
The International Week of Science and Peace acts as a poignant call for scientists, policymakers, and the worldwide community to utilize the influence of science for the betterment of humanity.

Shivaji Maharaj Statue In J & K’s Kupwara

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with other dignitaries, inaugurated a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir on November 7.
The statue, a symbol of cultural pride, was installed at the 41 National Rifle (Maratha LI) camp, which is located in close proximity to the Line of Control (LoC) separating India and Pakistan. This isn’t the first instance of honoring Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Jammu and Kashmir.

In January 2022, the Maratha Regiment unveiled two other statues of the legendary king, with one of them being installed at an astonishing altitude of 14,800 feet above sea level near the Line of Control.
These installations continue to foster cultural exchanges and historical remembrance in challenging terrains.

Discovery Of The Lost Continent Of Argoland

Scientists deduced the existence of Argoland from the Argo Abyssal Plain, a vast basin beneath the ocean.
Remnants of Argoland are believed to be buried under parts of Southwest Asia, including Indonesia and Myanmar. The study identifies fragments of Argoland in regions like Southwest Borneo and West Burma.

Argoland was a colossal continent that existed alongside northeastern Australia 155 million years ago.
This landmass, stretching 3,000 miles long, has been a long-standing geological mystery.
Unlike other continents that split into two, Argoland shattered into numerous pieces, making its historical path complex. The continent began breaking apart around 300 million years ago, during Gondwana’s era.

Venus Has Oxygen

Scientists have detected atomic oxygen in the atmosphere of Venus, Earth’s neighboring planet.
The detection was made using an instrument aboard the SOFIA airborne observatory, a modified Boeing 747SP aircraft carrying an infrared telescope.

This joint project between Nasa and the German Aerospace Center has opened new avenues for understanding the atmospheric composition of Venus.
The detected atomic oxygen, consisting of a single oxygen atom, differs from molecular oxygen, which consists of two oxygen atoms and is breathable.
The researchers were able to detect oxygen on both the sun-facing side of Venus, where it is produced, and the side facing away from the sun.
