  Scientists have identified a 5,000-year-old bacterium preserved in underground ice in Romania that can resist multiple modern antibiotics. The discovery has raised concerns about the risks posed by melting ice in a warming climate. The strain, recovered from Scărișoara Ice Cave, survived millennia in frozen isolation yet carries resistance to drugs commonly used in present-day clinical practice. Discovery from a 25-Metre Ice Core Researchers drilled a 25-metre ice core from the “Great Hall” of Scărișoara Ice Cave in north-west Romania . The ice represents nearly 13,000 years of accumulation. To prevent contamination, samples were handled in sterile conditions and transported frozen to laboratories for analysis. Several bacterial strains were isolated and sequenced. The most significant was Psychrobacter SC65A.3, a cold-adapted bacterium belonging to a genus previously linked to infections in humans and animals. Despite its ancient origin, it demonstrated notable resilience to mod...

  at certain depths. This uneven morphology reflects gradual formation over time rather than a single collapse event. Reef limestone dominates the walls, shaped by long-term erosion and sea-level change. Advanced Mapping and Measurement Early measurement attempts were hindered by the hole’s twisting interior. Navigation systems struggled with angled walls and shifting passages. In 2017, researchers deployed a high-grade remotely operated vehicle fitted with precise positioning tools. The mission produced the first full three-dimensional map. Multiple instruments were cross-checked to ensure accuracy. The final confirmed depth was recorded at 301.19 metres with minimal uncertainty. The mapping process took longer than expected due to the hole’s complex geometry. Geological Clues from Stone Ledges Rock formations inside the hole reveal signs of earlier shorelines. Step-like ledges align with periods when global sea levels were lower during colder climatic phases. These features sugg...

  US space company SpaceX is set to conduct another Starlink deployment mission with the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from California on February 2. The mission marks a further step in the rapid expansion of SpaceX’s satellite-based internet constellation, aimed at improving global broadband coverage. Launch Site and Mission Profile The Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base, a facility frequently used for polar and sun-synchronous orbit missions. The rocket will carry 25 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit. The launch window opens at 12:17 pm EST on February 2 and extends until 4:15 pm EST, corresponding to 8:47 pm IST on February 2 to 12:47 am IST on February 3. Reusable Booster and Landing Plan The mission will use a highly flight-proven first-stage booster, which will be making its 31st flight. After stage separation, the booster is expected to return for a controlled landing on the droneship “Of Course I Still Love You” ...
