The subject was the star 'Suhail" (Canopus) and its importance in the Islamic heritage. Mr. Rihan clarified that the star Suhail has nothing to do with how the weather changes, but following the tradition, the star is linked to a change in the weather pattern in the Gulf area. The main driver of the weather is the Sun.
Eng. Yousuf Faoukh, a CubeSat Engineer at the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology, gave an interview to DubaiEye 103.8 on Aug. 24, 2023, to talk about the success of the Chandrayaan 3 Moon landing on Aug. 22, 2023. Chandrayaan-3 is the third Indian lunar exploration mission under the Indian Space Research Organisation's Chandrayaan program. It consists of a lander named Vikram and a rover named Pragyan, similar to those of the Chandrayaan-2 mission that failed on Sep. 06, 2019. In contrast, Chandrayaan 3 was a full success for the Indian space agency. The triumph of Chandrayaan-3's moon landing is an extraordinary achievement in India's space exploration endeavors. Building upon the advancements of its predecessors, this mission demonstrated the nation's prowess in aerospace technology and engineering. Chandrayaan-3's successful lunar touchdown marked a momentous leap forward in our understanding of the Moon's South Pole. The precision of its landing and the subsequent data collection will pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries about our celestial neighbor. The collaborative efforts of scientists, engineers, and the entire Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) team have undoubtedly propelled India to the forefront of spacefaring nations and ignited inspiration for future generations to explore the cosmos.
