5 min readNew DelhiMar 26, 2026 10:53 PM IST Bappi Lahiri may no longer be with us, but his legacy continues to echo through music—and within the walls of his Mumbai home. Recently, his grandson offered a glimpse into the iconic residence the singer reportedly purchased in 1983 for Rs 19.32 lakh. Today, the house is priceless—not in monetary terms alone, but for the memories, awards, photographs, and fan-made art it holds. A devout follower of Lord Ganesha, Bappi made it a ritual to visit Siddhivinayak before every major project, especially music tours. His faith is deeply reflected in his home, which houses over 1,000 Ganesha idols collected over the years.

NASA’s Europa Clipper Probe Begins Deploying Science Instruments on Way to Jupiter

NASA’s Europa Clipper Probe Begins Deploying Science Instruments on Way to Jupiter

Published by Webster

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft has begun deploying its scientific instruments during its journey to Jupiter. The probe, launched on October 14, 2023 aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Centre, is set to study Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. Europa is believed to possess a subsurface ocean, potentially harbouring conditions suitable for life. According to NASA, the spacecraft has travelled over 13 million miles (20 million kilometres) since its launch, moving at 35 kilometres per second relative to the Sun. Instrument Deployment and Purpose The spacecraft has successfully extended two major instruments, the magnetometer’s boom and several radar antennas, according to NASA reports. The magnetometer, deployed on an 8.5-metre boom, will measure Europa’s magnetic field, aiding in confirming the existence of an underground ocean while providing details about its depth and salinity. The radar antennas, part of the Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface (REASON) instrument, include four high-frequency antennas measuring 17.6 metres each and eight smaller antennas. These components are designed to analyse Europa’s icy crust. Jordan Evans, project …

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, launched on October 14, 2024, is now moving at 35 kilometres per second and has travelled more than 13 million miles from Earth as reported by NASA. Designed for an ambitious mission to study Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, the spacecraft is expected to arrive in the Jupiter system in 2030. Following its arrival, the mission will embark on a series of 49 close flybys of Europa to gather data on the moon’s subsurface ocean and assess its potential to support life. Spacecraft’s Instruments Undergo Deployment and Testing After its deployment from a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, the Europa Clipper’s vast solar arrays—each stretching the length of a basketball court—were successfully extended, NASA revealed. The magnetometer boom, a 28-foot (8.5-metre) component designed to measure Europa’s magnetic field, was also deployed. This will help scientists examine the depth and salinity of the ocean thought to lie beneath Europa’s icy shell. Subsequent stages included the deployment of several radar antennas, which will aid in examining Europa’s ice layer. According to Jordan Evans, the Europa …
