Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber lands without its landing gear at an undisclosed airfield earlier today, as captured in a video circulating on social media. The footage shows the twin-engine aircraft approaching the runway with its wheels retracted, relying instead on its belly for the landing. The aircraft came to a stop safely using its braking parachute system following the incident.

Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown. Get more updates on the Artemis II blog:

Mars sometimes appears to move backward in the night sky due to retrograde motion, an optical illusion. This happens when faster-orbiting Earth overtakes Mars. As Earth passes, Mars seems to slow, stop, and move westward, although it's still moving forward in space. This "backward" motion occurs roughly every 26 months. The last one started on December 6, 2024 and finished on February 23, 2025. The next one is from January 25, 2027 to April 7, 2027. Retrograde motion puzzled ancient astronomers, who thought Earth was the center of the universe. It wasn’t until the heliocentric model (with the Sun at the center) that this illusion was correctly explained. All outer planets show retrograde motion when Earth passes them.

Last night at Whitby. No Bender. 60 seconds from an awesome night on the water. Its really difficult to get steady footage from the rib so slow motion is used a fair bit, but Im sure you'll agree its an evening most people could only dream of experiencing.

"THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL NUCLEAR BOMB" Regarded as the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested, the Tsar Bomba was detonated by the Soviet Union on October 30, 1961. It generated a yield of about 50 megatons of TNT, equating to nearly 3,300 times the strength of the "Little Boy" bomb that was released over Hiroshima. The test took place over the Mityushikha Bay site on the remote island of Novaya Zemlya in the Russian Arctic. A specially modified Tu-95V bomber dropped the 27-ton bomb from an altitude of 34,000 feet. A massive parachute was used to slow its descent, giving the crew a 50% chance of escape. 👀

This is how fast Earth flies through the galaxy. The solar system, including Earth, revolves around the center of the Milky Way at a speed of about 230 km/s. At first glance, this seems impressive. But when compared to the diameter of our planet (approximately 12,750 km), on a cosmic scale, it all looks almost like slow motion.

🚨 Gaganyaan IADT-02 Completed!! ISRO has successfully conducted the 2nd Integrated Air-Drop Test (IADT) of Gaganyaan on today morning after the first one in August 2025! 🔥 The aim of this test was to validate the parachutes and other recovery systems on board Gaganyaan that are necessary for safely landing the Crew Module on Earth upon its return from orbit. In this test, the Crew Module, weighing in at 5.7 tons, was lifted by a Chinook aircraft and dropped from an altitude of 3 km over the Bay of Bengal near the Sriharikota coast. The Crew Module subsequently slowed itself down autonomously using a series of drogue and main parachutes, followed by a soft splashdown in the sea.

WATCH: Footage has been released for the first time showing Iranian air defenses shoot down an American fighter jet on the 20th day of the war, captured during a wedding. This is likely the F-15 that Iran shot down.

ELON: WE WANT TO CREATE A FLOURISHING CIVILIZATION ON MARS "This is what we want Mars to look like with Starships coming and going, an incredible, beautiful Mars city. And a flourishing civilization on Mars. Ultimately, we can transform Mars into an Earth-like planet with terraforming. It just needs to be warmed up, really. And then, it could be ultimately an Earth-like planet. And we could bring the life from Earth. We could extend life from Earth to Mars. And really, it has to be humans, actually. It's not going to be the dolphins. But we can bring all the creatures with us. And we can ensure that life on Earth continues on Mars even after Earth becomes unlivable in the distant future."

ARCTIC CIRCLE RACE 4th APRIL 2025 My daughter Sasja, (18) is just arrived from Denmark, to participate in Arctic Circle Race. She will fly to Sisimiut tomorrow. I will follow her on 31th March, to Sisimiut. Arctic Circle Race is known for world’s toughest cross-country skiing sport in the world. The Arctic Circle Race is acknowledged as the world’s most challenging and awe-inspiring cross-country skiing competition. This three day adventure race covers 160 kilometers, and participants spend two nights in a camp surrounded by the white mountains and beautiful wilderness of Greenland.🇬🇱 (Pic from last year at the Camp.)

A Ukrainian robotic evacuation vehicle equipped with an armored capsule successfully rescued a wounded soldier from a frontline position. During the extraction, the vehicle struck two mines on its return route. Despite the blasts, the armored capsule protected the wounded serviceman from shrapnel, allowing the mission to be completed successfully. The soldier was evacuated and transferred for further medical treatment. Mission: • Duration: 2h 13m • Distance covered: 36.5 km • Average speed: 15 km/h • Top speed: 70 km/h
