How Much It Needs To Surpass The Theatrical Profit Of Matt Damon’s The Martian

The Odyssey Worldwide Box Office (Photo Credit: YouTube) Cinephiles across the world are now eagerly waiting for Christopher Nolan’s next movie, The Odyssey. Starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron, the fantasy action film is all set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026. After delivering multiple big hits at the worldwide box office like The Dark Knight trilogy (combined worldwide gross of $2.5 billion), Inception ($839.8 million), and Interstellar ($774.7 million), Christopher Nolan’s most recent theatrical release, Oppenheimer, grossed $975.8 million globally.

Names proposed by Kerala-based researchers approved for Martian landforms

Names proposed by Kerala-based researchers approved for Martian landforms

The location of ‘Krishnan’ crater and nearby features | Photo Credit: Special arrangement A 3.5 billion-old crater on Mars will henceforth be known after M.S. Krishnan, the pioneering Indian geologist. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has approved it and several other names for Martian landforms proposed by two Kerala-based researchers. Apart from ‘Krishnan,’ the IAU has also accepted several Kerala-based names for smaller landforms associated with the crater. These are ‘Valiamala,’ ‘Thumba,’ ‘Bekal,’ ‘Varkala’ and ‘Periyar’ for smaller craters and a vallis (valley). Which means, these places in Kerala now have counterparts on Mars! The naming proposal was jointly submitted by Rajesh V.J. of the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, (IIST), and Asif Iqbal Kakkassery, formerly research scholar at IIST under the guidance of Dr. Rajesh and who currently works as Assistant Professor in Geology at Government College, Kasaragod. Born in Thanjavur in what was then Madras Presidency in 1898, Dr. Krishnan was the first Indian to be director of the Geological Society of India. As for …

NASA’s Perseverance Captures Deimos Before Dawn in Striking Martian Sky Image

NASA’s Perseverance Captures Deimos Before Dawn in Striking Martian Sky Image

NASA’s Perseverance rover has delivered a striking early morning image of Mars’ moon Deimos, taken just before dawn on March 1, 2025 — Sol 1433 of the mission. Captured at 4:27 a.m. local time using the rover’s left navigation camera, the view combines 16 long-exposure shots taken over 52 seconds. Each frame used the maximum exposure setting of 3.28 seconds, enabling the camera to glimpse faint celestial features in Mars’ dim pre-dawn sky. Though the image appears hazy due to low light and digital noise, the effort reveals a rare visual of Deimos suspended in the Martian atmosphere. Perseverance’s Celestial Snapshot Reveals Deimos, Distant Stars, and Martian Sky Dynamics As per a report from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the brightness of Deimos is accompanied by multiple white specks across the sky, many of which are likely caused by image noise. Some of them could be cosmic rays hitting the sensor while exposing. Two bright spots, Regulus and Algieba, are easily found in the image. It adds perspective on the rover’s unique view of things, these stars, which …

Perseverance Rover Sees Phobos Block the Sun During Martian Solar Eclipse

Perseverance Rover Sees Phobos Block the Sun During Martian Solar Eclipse

On 30 September 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover turned its Mastcam-Z camera towards the Martian sky, capturing a remarkable view of Phobos, Mars’ small, irregularly shaped moon, as it passed in front of the Sun in a partial eclipse. This event, observed on what scientists refer to as Sol 1285 of the mission, showcased the shadowy outline of Phobos—a potato-shaped rock—highlighted against the Sun’s bright disk. A Unique View of Mars’ Potato-Shaped Moon Unlike Earth’s spherical moon, Phobos has a distinctly irregular form, closely resembling an asteroid. Spanning about 17 by 14 by 11 miles, it follows a unique, elliptical orbit around Mars at a mere 3,700 miles from its surface. By comparison, Earth’s Moon is nearly 239,000 miles away, making Phobos seem incredibly close to Mars. Its proximity and rapid orbit allow it to circle Mars thrice daily, creating frequent but brief eclipse opportunities for Martian observers. Tracing the Origins of Phobos The origin of Phobos remains a mystery in planetary science. While its appearance hints at an asteroid, many researchers believe Mars’ gravity didn’t …
