Questions About Bacteria’s Space Viability

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) previously developed a method to create bricks using lunar regolith simulant and the soil bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii. The bacterium converts urea and calcium into calcium carbonate, which, when mixed with guar gum, can bind regolith particles into brick-like shapes.

Preparations are underway across India as devotees gear up to observe Ram Navami 2025, a festival that marks the birth of Lord Rama, regarded as the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This year, Ram Navami will be observed on 6 April, with key rituals scheduled during the Madhyahna period &mdash; considered the most auspicious time of the day.

Ram Navami falls on the Navami Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the Chaitra month, according to the Hindu lunar calendar. As per Drik Panchang, Lord Rama was born during the Madhyahna phase on this tithi. The Navami Tithi will begin at 7:26 PM on 5 April and conclude at 7:22 PM on 6 April. The Madhyahna muhurat, most appropriate for conducting religious ceremonies, will begin at 11:08 AM and end at 1:39 PM on 6 April.
The city of Ayodhya, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, is expected to witness large gatherings for temple visits, river rituals, and religious processions. Devotees traditionally start the day with a ceremonial bath in the Sarayu river, followed by a full-day fast and visits to key temples.
Across the country, temples will organise special prayers, recitations from the Ramayana, and devotional singing (bhajans). Many communities also hold public performances that depict episodes from Lord Rama&rsquo;s life, including his conflict with Ravana, as narrated in the epic Ramayana.
In addition to pujas and processions, havans and community feasts are organised in several regions. Devotees often decorate their homes with images and idols of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman, and participate in local gatherings to mark the occasion.

In certain cases where a candidate falls slightly short of this threshold, the board may choose to grant grace marks. Such decisions are made at the discretion of the board, taking into account overall performance and internal criteria.
A look at the board&rsquo;s performance trends in recent years shows relatively stable results, with pass percentages generally remaining above 90 per cent for Class 10. In 2024, 93.60 per cent of students passed the Class 10 examination, while the Class 12 pass percentage stood at 87.98 per cent.
