GMRT Discovers Five New Pulsars in Ancient Star Clusters

Image
  On 10 June 2026, astronomers at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics in Pune discovered five new millisecond pulsars using India’s upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. The pulsars were detected in the globular clusters Messier 69 and Messier 70, which are among the oldest and most densely packed stellar systems in the Milky Way. Millisecond Pulsars Millisecond pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars with spin periods of a few milliseconds. They usually form in binary systems, where matter from a companion star transfers angular momentum to the neutron star and increases its rotation rate. Globular Clusters Globular clusters are spherical collections of stars bound by gravity. They contain very old stars and are found in the halo of galaxies, including the Milky Way. Messier 69 and Messier 70 are two such clusters in the constellation Sagittarius. Discovery Details Two of the newly found pulsars were detected in Messier 69 and three in Messier 70. One pulsar, named M...

BA.3.2 Cicada COVID Variant Shows Rising Global Presence

Image
                                                                       A newly observed COVID-19 variant, BA.3.2—commonly referred to as “Cicada”—is gradually increasing in detection across several regions worldwide. Health authorities indicate that the variant had been circulating at low levels for an extended period before its recent rise in visibility. Its name reflects this prolonged hidden presence, similar to cicadas that remain underground for years before emerging. Origins and Detection Timeline The earliest known case of BA.3.2 was recorded in South Africa in November 2024. The variant began showing a noticeable increase in spread from September 2025. In the United States , it was initially identified in a traveller in mid-2025, with broader reporting beginning in early 2026. It has now been detected...

Lyme Disease Vaccine Shows Promising Trial Results

Image
  A recent development in global healthcare has brought attention to Lyme disease, as pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Valneva announced that their experimental vaccine demonstrated over 70% efficacy in late-stage clinical trials. This progress offers hope in combating a disease that is increasingly reported across multiple regions. About Lyme Disease Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a bacterial infection caused by “Borrelia burgdorferi”. It affects multiple systems in the body, including the skin, joints, heart, and nervous system. The disease was first identified in 1976 in Lyme, Connecticut, United States , from which it derives its name. It is most commonly found in North America, Europe , and parts of Asia . Transmission and Spread Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected deer ticks, also known as black-legged ticks. These ticks are typically found in grassy, wooded, and bushy environments and can attach to the human body without im...
