"Here today we are saying that we are keen to be partners for India in its space journey. We're already strategic and quad partners with India and we want to do more with space and my government is backing it," said Philip Green. Today we're signing the first MOU of three that has been settled as a result of an USD 18 million dollar grant for my government specifically, for India-Australia space collaborations," he added. Further, the Australian envoy said they are excited about the <keyword id="20535850" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-space-sector" source="keywords">Indian space sector</keyword> and believe its different and complementary skills can benefit each other. "We're very excited about the Indian space sector and we're particularly excited about the fact that Australia has different and complementary skills," the Australian envoy said to ANI. "We're a very big continent with very few numbers of people, which means we have very dark skies. We have great abilities in terms of space tracking," he added. Congratulating PM Modi for his victory in the 2024 general elections, Philip Green said that Australia is looking to work even more closely in the future. He also disclosed during the interview that there could be high-level visits by Australia and India to galvanise the already strong partnership. "We congratulate Modi and his government on re-election. We look forward to working even more closely as we go forward. There are three powerful drivers in our bilateral relationship, our new strategic alignment, the very strong complementarity between our economies and what we call the human bridge, the more than a million people of Indian origin who now make Australia their home," said Philip Green. "We're planning visits I'm not going to announce them to you today, but I can assure you there will be high-level visits by Australia and India to galvanise what is already a strong partnership," he added On April 30, "the Australian Government announced funding for three collaborative space projects that will strengthen the space economy for the two partner nations," said the <keyword id="22187832" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Australian-Space-Agency" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Australian Space Agency" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Australian Space Agency">Australian Space Agency</keyword> in an official statement. "The projects will receive a total of A$18 million (Rs 98 crore) as part of the International Space Investment India (ISI) Projects program," the statement added. Each project will include a number of Australian and Indian partners, who will help address climate change, boost manufacturing, and advance artificial intelligence, among other objectives.

"Keen to be partners with India in its space journey": Australian envoy on space collaboration projects

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Beazer Homes is building "zero energy," climate-friendly homes even though they're more expensive. </li><li>CEO Allan Merrill said the upfront investment will pay off long-term. </li></ul>A new community of 19 single-family homes north of Baltimore is at the forefront of the green-building movement.Solar panels are on the roofs. Garages come with electrical-vehicle charging. Energy-efficient appliances, including electric heat pumps and induction stoves, are installed. Airtight insulation prevents leaks that waste energy. Fresh-air systems keep indoor air clean. The homes use so little energy that solar could offset most or all energy utility costs.The project was developed by Beazer Homes, one of the largest US homebuilders. Several years ago, the company set a goal that by 2025, all its new homes would meet the US Department of Energy's "Zero Energy Ready" <a target="_blank" href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/zero-energy-ready-home-program">certification</a>. Its CEO, Allan Merrill, said Beazer was close to meeting the goal.The effort has come at a cost; Merrill said climate-friendly features can add $10,000 to $30,000 to construction and that the market for these homes is still emerging. It's also a precarious time, with so many Americans struggling to afford a home and the reelection of Donald Trump threatening to reverse many environmental regulations. But there are tailwinds, including state laws that require industries like utilities and real estate to decarbonize and a record amount of renewable-energy projects across the US.Merrill thinks the up-front investment will be worth it in the long term, even if shareholders haven't rewarded Beazer yet. Prioritizing sustainability helps the company attract the best talent, he said, and homeowners are increasingly concerned about rising utility costs. Now Beazer has to educate customers and the broader real-estate market about the value of green homes."Leadership requires investment," Merrill said. "We made a conscious decision to make less money on all of these homes. Now it's about talking to more customers, becoming more effective at communicating the value, and getting paid for it."<div type="image" title="People stand in the kitchen of a &quot;Zero Energy Ready&quot; home in Parkville, Maryland." height="3463" width="3024" msid="115056622" hostid="261" sizebytes="404276"></div>Merrill added that Beazer is in the middle of that journey. The 19 single-family homes in Parkville, Maryland, cost at least $700,000, which is more than double the area's median sales price in September of $300,000.Merrill said the value of Zero Energy Ready homes comes from lower utility bills, healthier air quality, a quieter living space, and a reduced environmental impact. Beazer estimated that owners of the new homes in Parkville would save about $453 a month in energy-utility costs compared with owners of older homes in town, and $311 a month compared with owners of a typical new build. Better indoor air quality is a selling point for buyers with asthma or other respiratory problems. Renewable energy and electric appliances don't emit fossil fuels."The tricky thing is when people walk in, they're not wearing a button that tells you which of those issues are relevant to them," Merrill said. "That's the discovery process. It's finding a way to connect what we've done to each buyer."He said another challenge is that home appraisals generally don't account for energy efficiency or renewable-energy technologies.Woody Fincham, a residential appraiser in Charlottesville, Virginia, who also teaches courses on sustainable homes for the Appraisal Institute, says few appraisers have the expertise. But he argued that the problem is broader. Real-estate agents need to market green features so that prospective buyers understand their value, which then has to be communicated to mortgage lenders who can seek out qualified appraisers.Still, there's no guarantee that a green home can fetch a higher price, because the market largely depends on what's sold nearby."If you're in a community where people put a lot of value on efficiency — and there are some parts of the country where they do — the appraisal will be able to show that the market is willing to pay more," Andrew Pizor, a senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, said. "But if you're in a community where people don't care about that kind of thing, the appraiser is going to compare prices and likely find that no one's willing to pay extra for it."Two Democrats in Congress have proposed legislation that would require appraisals to consider a home's energy use compared with that of nearby properties, as well as whether the home has energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and EV charging. The bill would also require additional training for appraisers.But it hasn't passed, and Merrill said Beazer isn't waiting around.

The spacecraft is headed toward Jupiter's moon Europa, which scientists believe has a massive saltwater ocean beneath its surface that's a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oxygen-europa-life-surface-ocean-subsurface-earth-juno-mission-jupiter-2024-3">prime location for extraterrestrial life</a>.But don't get your hopes up (or get scared) about us making contact with aliens. The Europa Clipper is just trying to understand if the ocean could even support life.That might not be as exciting as snapping photos of little green people, but it's still a big deal. It's the largest interplanetary spacecraft NASA has ever built, weighing 3.5 tons with wings that extend 100 feet wide.It won't arrive at Europa until April 2030, but that hasn't dimmed the space community's enthusiasm. One NASA director said these kinds of missions are "modern cathedrals" and "generational quests."<div type="image" title="spacex super heavy booster lands in mid-air" height="880" width="1175" msid="114251044" hostid="261" sizebytes="140760"></div>Space travel also happens to be a great business opportunity.Helping power Europa Clipper into space was a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.

Malcolm Aw, the CEO and founder of Solar Water, told Business Insider that he initially got involved with Neom to help realize its ambitions as a pioneering green energy "<keyword id="22368252" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="eco-city" source="keywords">eco-city</keyword>." Neom is the centerpiece of Saudi ruler <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vision-2030-saudi-arabia-plan-future-proof-oil-economy-2023-8">Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 project</a> to diversify the Saudi economy away from fossil fuels and transform it into a luxury tourism destination and innovation hub. However, Aw said he was so appalled at reports of human rights abuses that he canceled the Neom contract in 2022, despite having already begun planning some of his desalination plants there. "They just, they bulldoze their way right through villages and everything, which is just unbelievable," said Aw. Aw spoke to BI after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68945445">BBC News</a> reported that an exiled Saudi colonel said <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-arabia-neom-middle-east-conflict-israel-peace-tourism-2024-5">Saudi Arabia</a> authorized the use of lethal force to clear the way for its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-arabia-neom-roadshow-china-investor-interest-funding-2024-4">Neom</a> desert megacity. Col Rabih Alenezi said he was ordered to evict people living on the land to make way for a part of the project called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/neom-what-we-know-saudi-arabia-500bn-mega-city-2019-9">The Line</a>. The area was mostly populated by the Huwaitat tribe. The BBC said it was not able to independently verify Alenezi's comments about lethal force. However, satellite images analyzed by the BBC showed three villages, including schools and hospitals, were destroyed to make way for Neom. One of the villagers, Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti, was<a target="_blank" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/4/15/saudi-forces-kill-man-who-refused-to-give-up-property-activists"> later reportedly killed by Saudi authorities,</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/05/saudi-arabia-un-experts-alarmed-imminent-executions-linked-neom-project"> said the UN.</a> "What it tried to do is turn the whole province into Dubai or Qatar or something, but in doing so, they are clearing the people who have been there for years out of the area," said Aw. "These people could be such a contribution to this whole development. You know the villages have all been removed." Aw, who is a descendant of Tiger Balm founder Aw Boon Haw, told BI that he had initially been drawn to work on the Neom project because of its commitment to green energy and ecology. Aw's company uses solar energy for desalination, while most desalination plants burn fossil fuels and have been found to pollute oceans. Neom had offered Aw's company, Solar Water, $100m for exclusive rights to use his technology. Neom's planners say they want to be an"eco-city," with the signature project "The Line" — a vertical mirrored skyscraper cutting through the desert — <a target="_blank" href="https://www.neom.com/en-us/regions/theline">running on 100% renewable energy</a> and 95% of the land preserved for nature. They claim to be committed to "respecting existing communities and cultural heritage within our region." But Aw believes the promises are not being fulfilled, and planners are performing a U-turn on their original vision for the city. "What they're doing is not ethical and what they're doing is they're creating an exclusivity to house wealthy people in a wealthy touristic area. But that wasn't the original idea. The idea was to develop a green scenario," he said. "The whole idea we came in is to make the place green, and for the people, the local people, the indigenous who have been there for ages, for yonks, to be able to share into development," said Aw. "But then they change course. Suddenly, they are totally different from what we expect to do, and in doing so, they have done a lot of damage." Neom declined to comment on Aw's claims. The Saudi embassy in the UK did not respond to a request for comment. <keyword id="19905161" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Saudi-Arabia" source="keywords">Saudi Arabia</keyword> has been trying to quell public criticism about its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vision-2030-saudi-arabia-plan-future-proof-oil-economy-2023-8">Vision 2030 plans</a>. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-woman-gets-30-years-prison-criticizing-neom-megacity-twitter-2023-6">Last year, BI </a>reported that the crackdown extended to those criticizing the evictions on social media, with Fatima al-Shawarbi sentenced to 30 years in prison for speaking out. The project has been beset by problems in recent months, with costs spiraling to an estimated $1 trillion and key projects delayed or cut back. In April, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-05/saudis-scale-back-ambition-for-1-5-trillion-desert-project-neom">Bloomberg reported</a> that Saudi officials were reducing the number of people expected to be living in Neom from around one million to 300,000 by 2030. The report also said the length of The Line could be cut from around 100 miles to one mile. Aw urged planners to stand by their original ethical and ecological vision. "You know, we have the technology to solve the [green energy] problem that people are complaining about today. Absolutely. Absolutely. But there's just not the vision or the ethical commitment," he said. Correction: July 5, 2024: An earlier version of this story misstated one of Malcolm Aw's claims. While Aw's company, Solar Water, was contracted to build desalination plants in Neom, it withdrew before construction work had begun.

The outlook for <keyword id="34553" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="renewable-energy" source="Orion">renewable energy</keyword> is undeniably improving, but the shift away from fossil fuels towards alternative, sustainable sources of power presents significant challenges. Many individuals question the reliability of solar energy due to its reliance on daylight and seasonal variations. However, envision a solution that completely eliminates these limitations. <keyword id="19156540" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="space-solar" source="Orion">Space Solar</keyword>, a technology company based in the UK, has ambitious plans to establish a unique <keyword id="12654063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="solar-farm" source="Orion">solar farm</keyword> in <keyword id="6359982" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="earth" source="Orion">Earth</keyword>'s orbit. What's even more fascinating is their belief that this project could be operational as soon as 2035! Our planet's atmosphere serves as a protective barrier, shielding us from the harmful effects of solar radiation, such as cancer or severe burns.

When considering that solar technology heavily depends on daylight and clear skies, the idea of space-based solar farms becomes alluring.

Furthermore, this energy can be transmitted wirelessly to Earth or even the Moon using microwaves. In summary, Space Solar envisions that their expansive solar farms floating in space, extending for kilometres, could generate 13 times more renewable energy than traditional solar or wind farms while occupying only a fraction of the space. The emergence of reusable spacecraft, popularised by companies like SpaceX, has finally made this solar venture economically feasible. The company aims to supply 20% of Earth's energy needs using a fleet of 600 satellites. Europe has been actively exploring the concept of space-based solar farms to support its transition to a Net Zero economy for some time.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Pennsylvania-based couple is struggling to afford a home despite their six-figure incomes. </li><li>They each work remotely, but expanding their home search across the US hasn't solved their problem.</li></ul>When Madelyn Driver and her husband began <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/what-to-look-for-when-buying-a-house">house-hunting</a>, they thought they had a few advantages.First, they were in pretty good financial shape, Driver told Business Insider via email. The 30-year-old makes over $100,000 working in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/insider-today-tech-jobs-anxiety-zirp-careers-layoffs-2024-2">tech industry</a>, according to a document viewed by BI — and she said her husband also has a six-figure income. After taking stock of their finances, the couple decided to focus on homes valued at no more than $700,000.Second, they had the flexibility to search for homes across the country. That's because, while they're currently based in Pennsylvania, Driver and her husband both <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dream-job-in-office-work-full-time-flexibility-benefits-2024-3">work remotely</a>. While they've explored several areas, Driver said Colorado, the Carolinas, and Virginia have been of particular interest.However, despite their income and geographic flexibility, the couple has continued to bump up against <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/housing-market-affordability-homebuyer-earnings-income-price-trends-covid-comparison-2024-2">affordability challenges</a>."We're finding that even in a vast country like the US, housing options that align with our desires for green spaces, a somewhat metropolitan vibe, and cultural vibrancy are surprisingly out of budget," Driver said.Driver is among a group of Americans with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/henrys-six-figure-income-inflation-childcare-economic-pinch-2023-11">six-figure incomes</a> who are having trouble meeting some of their financial goals. These people are sometimes called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-you-need-feel-rich-henrys-six-figures-2024-6">HENRYs</a> — or high earners, not rich yet. In recent years, as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cpi-inflation-may-prices-rent-gas-fed-interest-rates-2024-6">inflation</a> has weighed on people's finances, a $100,000-a-year salary <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-salary-americans-need-to-feel-rich-2023-7">hasn't gone as far</a> as it used to."I remember thinking that earning $100,000 felt like an unimaginable milestone," Driver said. "Now, my husband and I both exceed that number. Yet, we hardly feel rich."The US housing market has proven particularly challenging for some millennials like Driver. In recent years, high home prices and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-cant-millennials-buy-homes-first-time-buyers-mortgage-rates-2023-12">elevated mortgage rates</a> have propelled the cost of homeownership in the US to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/house-price-outlook-homes-unaffordable-real-estate-economy-goldman-sachs-2023-10">near-record-high unaffordability levels</a>."If expenses — especially housing costs — were more reasonable, I'd feel much more financially secure and rich," Driver said.To be sure, some high-earning millennials probably think their incomes are quite sufficient. In part, this could be because they're among the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/rental-market/market-snapshots/millennials-switch-renter-to-owner-majority/">roughly 52%</a> of millennials who owned a home as of 2022 — many of whom bought homes before the spike in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/real-estate-investments-stocks-millennial-wealth-doubled-in-pandemic-economy-2024-5">home prices and mortgage rates</a> over the last few years.Of course, for the majority of Americans who don't have a six-figure income — the average annual full-time salary was about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/sce/labor#/experiences-earnings1">$84,000</a> as of March — affording a home is even more of a challenge.As of the first quarter of 2024, the homeownership rate for US households with a family income below the median income was about 53%, according to Census Bureau <a target="_blank" href="https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf">data</a>. For households with a family income greater than or equal to the median income, the homeownership rate was about 79%.Driver shared her homebuying strategy and priorities — and what she and her husband plan to do if the housing market doesn't shift in their favor.<h2 id="ae8f3ec6-3810-4267-b1b6-a5ae458b665f">Avoiding being "house-poor" is a top priority</h2>Driver and her husband have given their home search a lot of thought. When developing their home budget, they agreed it was important not to overextend themselves."Our incomes could support a much higher housing price, but we really want to avoid being '<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/personal-finance-signs-wait-buy-home-interest-rates-fall-2023-11">house-poor</a>' and trapped in a higher monthly mortgage amount," she said.Additionally, they developed a list of the top characteristics they were looking for in the area surrounding their home. Driver said their ideal location would have a highly educated population, diversity, plenty of green space, and milder weather than the Northeast.To get a feel for each area they were considering, the couple decided that they needed to "experience it as locals." Driver said they stayed in long-term <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-its-like-living-in-airbnbs-full-time-for-year-2023-5">Airbnbs</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trusted-housesitters-free-pet-sitting-for-strangers-what-its-like-2021-7">pet-sat</a> for extended periods to immerse themselves in different communities."This approach certainly has its logistical challenges, but it's been essential for us to see beyond the internet searches and experience what daily life would actually feel like in a new city," Driver said.Going forward, Driver said they won't rush to buy a home if they can't find anything that checks enough of their boxes. If they're still searching a year from now, she said they might reevaluate some of their priorities."We won't compromise on things like a safe area and neighborhood, square footage, and property acreage," she said. "But, if we can't find the perfect home, we'd be open to buying a less expensive house that might need more serious work."Are you making over $100,000 a year?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>HBO and DC Studios announced that Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler will lead the "Lanterns" TV show.</li><li>The gritty mystery will follow two "Green Lantern" characters, John Stewart and Hal Jordan.</li></ul>HBO and DC Studios announced that Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler will lead the upcoming "Lanterns" TV show — the first major "Green Lantern" project since <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/all-of-ryan-reynolds-movies-ranked-by-critics">Ryan Reynolds</a>' widely panned 2011 movie.In the comics, the Green Lantern Corps is an intergalactic police force, with each Lantern working to keep the peace across the universe.Reynolds played the most commonly known version of the hero, Hal Jordan, in an origin story that made only $227 million against a $200 million budget, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1133985/news/">Box Office Mojo</a>.Warner Bros. scheduled a "Green Lantern Corps" movie for 2020 as part of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/zack-snyder-justice-league-unwatchable-joyless-joss-whedon-2022-7">Zack Snyder</a>'s DC Extended Universe, but it never materialized.Producer Greg Berlanti also tried to create a TV series on HBO Max, but those plans were canceled when James Gunn and Peter Safran became co-chairmen of DC Studios in December 2022.The "Lanterns" TV series seems to have a better chance of getting off the ground now that it has found its two leads.<h2 id="94b73ed8-fd6f-4b4f-8cac-4d9e078ca5df">"Lanterns" will explore a "dark, Earth-based mystery."</h2><div type="image" title="green lantern" height="862" width="1136" msid="114124530" hostid="261" sizebytes="120088"></div>The description of the eight-episode series, which was released in June, suggests that "Lanterns" will blend the cosmic scale of its characters with a gritty storyline.It reads: "The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland."When Gunn and Safran announced their plans for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dc-movie-tv-release-date-schedule-james-gunn-plan-2023-1">their rebooted DC Universe</a> in January 2023, they said that "Lanterns" is inspired by the dark crime drama, "True Detective.""This is a story of a couple of Green Lanterns: John Stewart and Hal Jordan, and we have a few other Lanterns peppered in there, but this is really a terrestrial-based TV show, which is almost like 'True Detective' with a couple of Green Lanterns who are space cops watching over precinct Earth. In it, they discover a terrifying mystery that ties into our larger story of the DCU," Gunn said in an announcement video.<h2 id="fb63e0ca-f6a7-4ca2-98df-ec2ffbdbe202">Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler play John Stewart and Hal Jordan, respectively</h2><div type="image" title="A composite image of two men.

The outlet also reported that HBO planned to start filming "Lanterns" in January 2025.In early October, Gunn confirmed on X that "Rebel Ridge" actor Aaron Pierre had been cast as John Stewart.He wrote: "Welcome to DC, Aaron Pierre. After a long and grueling series of auditions I am absolutely sure we've found an incredible John Stewart." "Firefly" and "The Rookie" actor Nathan Fillion will appear in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/james-gunn-superman-legacy-cast-2023-7">2025's "Superman"</a> movie as Guy Gardner, another member of the Green Lantern Corps.So it's possible that he'll also show up in the "Lanterns" TV series, given that he works for the same organization as Pierre and Chandler's characters.

Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler will lead HBO's 'Lanterns,' over a decade after Ryan Reynolds' widely panned 'Green Lantern.' Here's what to know.

Continuing its momentum from yesterday, <keyword id="6912" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maruti" source="Orion">Maruti</keyword> opened the day in green and was up by 1.66%. Grasim, Divis Labs, Eicher Motors, and Britannia were the top gainers in early trade this morning. On the other hand, Mahindra and Mahindra, JSW Steel, Axis Bank, Dr. Reddy, and Kotak Bank were among the leading laggards. As Mr. Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares, notes, "A strong rally in the auto counters helped the index end on trade at another record level of 24,433 yesterday. The index has breached its previous high convincingly by forming a big green candle and opening the door for further rallying towards the 24,520–24,600 zone. At the same time, 24,340 will be considered strong immediate support. BankNifty oscillates in a well-maintained range of 52,260–52,720; a breakout on either side is a must (mostly on the higher side, considering the strong uptrend). The auto segment ended its consolidation of over 2 weeks with a strong breakout indicating the resumption of its uptrend". "Post the strong breakout, follow-up buying was witnessed in the <keyword id="20421583" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FMCG-segment" source="keywords">FMCG segment</keyword> which boosted our confidence to remain bullish on the sector (ITC is on the verge of a major breakout).

We continue to remain positive in the <keyword id="20350923" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pharma-space" source="keywords">pharma space</keyword>", he continued. Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities noted that among sectors, the auto index gained over 2% while intraday profit booking was witnessed in select IT, oil, and gas stocks. "Currently, 24,300/80,000 would act as a key support zone for trend-following traders. We believe, that as long as the market is trading above it, the bullish sentiment will likely continue. On the higher side, 24,500 -24,600/80,500-80,800 would be the immediate resistance zones for day traders", he said.

The northern lights may appear stunning from Earth, but it turns out they look even better from space.NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick released stunning timelapse footage of auroras dancing above Earth this week, as seen from the International Space Station.The video, posted on August 12, shows the moon setting and the subsequent sunrise amid streams of red and green.The sunrise illuminates an orbiting Soyuz spacecraft in blue."The aurora have been amazing the past few days. Great timing for trying out a new lens that recently arrived on Cygnus," Dominick posted <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/dominickmatthew/status/1823081465753825718">on X</a>, referring to the US Cygnus spacecraft.Dominick said he captured the footage using an Arri Zeiss 15mm, T1.8 lens with a 1/3 s exposure and a 1/2 s interval.He also posted static photos from the aurora borealis he saw from space, showing the moon setting amid the lights.<div type="image" title="The moon makes it way towards the horizon to set amongst red and green aurora, seen from space" height="2184" width="3276" msid="112547662" hostid="261" sizebytes="1244926"></div>He explained that while the image may look "upside down", that is how astronauts are usually oriented in their observation area aboard the spacecraft, and that images of this kind are generally rotated when posted on social media.He did not specify what region of the Earth they were flying over. However, a solar storm over the weekend sparked auroras in both the northern and southern hemispheres. According to<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/drop-everything-and-watch-this-stunning-video-of-northern-lights/"> Scientific American</a>, the northern lights appeared as far south as Texas and Mississippi.Dominick, who is a NASA astronaut and a US Navy Commander, is serving a six-month term on board the International Space Station as a flight engineer.He told Scientific American that he has been working on capturing time-lapse videos from the ISS for some time."It was intense," he told the publication. "I'm up here with a couple of veteran folks that have spent more than a year of their life in space across missions, and all of them have unanimously said they've never seen anything like it."There are likely to be more chances to catch an aurora display in the coming years.That's because our sun has an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-time-lapse-video-sun-solar-cycle-10-years-2020-7">11-year cycle</a> in which it increases and decreases in activity. We're approaching solar maximum when the sun reaches peak activity. Experts have previously predicted this should <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/next-solar-maximum-2025-what-expect-cycle-2023-4">happen in 2025</a>.While that may create more stunning auroras, it could also cause some problems on Earth.As more <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coronal-hole-on-sun-blasts-solar-wind-toward-earth-2023-3">sunspots</a> appear on the surface of our star during its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-video-footage-shows-sun-solar-activity-increasing-2023-5">active period</a>, it may prompt more <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-storms-flares-dangerous-effects-earth-sun">solar storms</a>, creating bursts of electromagnetic energy that can affect everything from the power grid to GPS signals.We're not in any immediate danger, however. Physicists predict that this cycle will not be the biggest we've ever seen, and we're getting better at spotting storms <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-flare-coronal-eruption-geomagnetic-storm-effects-safety">to be able to prepare for them</a>.
