Iran has demanded that Qatar release three Iranian SU-24 pilots whom Tehran claims were captured alive after their aircraft crashed during military strikes six months ago. Qatar denies holding the pilots, calling the claims “misleading statements” and rejecting Tehran’s allegations.

President Donald Trump hailed the U.S. military operation that led to the capture of Venezuela’s leader, saying that the world was impressed by the mission and that the target “knew we were coming,” underscoring how dangerous the action was. The high‑risk strike involved U.S. forces storming a guarded location where the Venezuelan president was taken into custody and flown to the United States. The capture has drawn global reaction, with some allies and rivals alike weighing in on the operation and its implications for regional stability and international law.

<p><strong>Biggest Digital Space Camera:</strong> Scientists have created a shockingly massive digital camera which is the largest to have ever existed on Earth. The camera has a resolution of&nbsp;3.2 billion pixels and took&nbsp;nine years to be made.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>World's Biggest Digital Space Camera</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<h2><strong>What will the massive camera do?</strong></h2>

<p>The camera will collect 60 petabytes of data on the universe's composition, the expansion of the universe, the solar system, the formation of our galaxy and the nature and distribution of dark energy and dark matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A 5.1-foot-wide optical lens will be used by the camera to capture a 15-second exposure of the sky after every 20 seconds. The filters will be changed automatically by the camera to view light in various wavelengths from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the first time, four NASA pilots will be flying two specialised WB-57 planes off the coast of Mexico and chasing the total solar eclipse on April 8 to capture a 'never-before-seen' view.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The solar eclipse, which will be observed by many from the ground, will for the first time be captured from a relatively closer view.</p>

<p>The pilots will follow the path of totality or total darkness, which is from southwest to northeast, and will remain in the shadows till the moon crosses the sun.</p>

<p>From the skies, this journey will take place in seven minutes in comparison to four minutes from the ground.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Casey will be the second crewman among the two WB-57 planes and is responsible for operating the instruments of the aircraft to study the eclipse.</p>

<p>French troops in Mali have captured a senior member of the Sahel affiliate of the Islamic State group, the French military said Wednesday.</p>

<p>The arrest comes as France prepares to complete its withdrawal from Mali after almost a decade battling a jihadist insurgency in the country with the French-led Barkhane anti-insurgency force.</p>

<p>"In the night of June 11-12, an operation of the Barkhane force allowed the capture of Oumeya Ould Albakaye, a senior figure in the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara&nbsp;(IS-GS)," a spokesman for the chief of staff told AFP.</p>

<p>The operation, carried out near the border with Niger, took weeks of preparation involving air force and ground army units, the defence ministry in Paris said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Albakaye will be held by French forces for questioning for several days and then handed to the Malian authorities, the military added.</p>

<p>A security source who asked not to be named told AFP that Albakaye had once been seen as a potential successor to former IS-GS leader Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi, who was killed by French forces in August 2021.</p>
