asteroid about as wide as the Empire State Building is tall will streak through space within 20,000 miles (32,200 km) of Earth, the closest any celestial object of that size will have come to our planet in modern history. When it does, a spacecraft launched by NASA in 2016 is expected to be in position to provide a detailed examination of this rare close encounter. The mission, directed by University of Arizona scientists, is expected to yield insights into planetary formation and knowledge that could inform efforts to build a defense system against possible doomsday asteroid collisions with Earth. At the time of its 2004 discovery, the asteroid Apophis, named for a demon serpent embodying evil and chaos in ancient Egyptian mythology, appeared to pose a dire impact threat to Earth, with scientists forecasting a potential collision in 2029.

Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman, Motilal Oswal Group, says “there is a long-term trend to allocate more for defence, and these defence companies are monopolistic, though they are public sector. So there is a little bit of challenge but there are well-run public sector, monopolistic, high return on capital companies and all and their dividend policy is better than private sector’s. You have an opportunity there. But you have to be a little bit more careful where the action is. So, you have to decide company-wise.” This year our theme for Diwali is Yeh Diwali Muskaan Wali.

Mars had the conditions to support microbial life. The car-sized rover has been gradually ascending the base of 5-kilometre-tall Mount Sharp, whose layers formed in different periods of Martian history and offer a record of how the planet's climate changed over time. It recently drilled its 39th sample and dropped the pulverised rock into its belly for detailed analysis. The sample was collected from a target nicknamed «Sequoia». Scientists hope the sample will reveal more about how the climate and habitability of Mars evolved as this region became enriched in sulphates — minerals that likely formed in salty water that was evaporating as Mars first began drying up billions of years ago. Eventually, Mars's liquid water disappeared for good. «The types of sulphate and carbonate minerals that Curiosity's instruments have identified in the last year help us understand what Mars was like so long ago.
