Budget Expectations: Things seem to be falling comfortably into place for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Yes, he lost seats in India’s recent general election — but he was, nevertheless, re-elected for a third term. Yes, he is dependent upon smaller allied parties for the first time in his political career. But those allies have been complaisant so far, and he has kept them out of major ministerial roles without any blowback. That period of calm may be coming to an end, however. Next week, India will unveil its tax-and-spending plans for the ongoing financial year, which ends in March 2025 — and, according to Reuters, the allies’ bills will come due.

By James Day, University of California, San Diego San Diego: Of the more than 74,000 known meteorites — rocks that fall to Earth from asteroids or planets colliding together — only 385 or so stones came from the planet Mars. It's not that hard for scientists to work out that these meteorites come from Mars. Various landers and rovers have been exploring Mars' surface for decades.

Scientists have shown that you can see this unique Martian atmospheric composition reflected in some of these meteorites. Mars also has unique oxygen. Everything on Earth, including humans and the air we breathe, is made up of a specific composition of the three isotopes of the element oxygen: oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18. But Mars has an entirely different composition — it's like a geochemical fingerprint for being Martian.
