Nagaland's capital, Kohima, has been placed on high alert after fresh cases of African Swine Fever (ASF) were confirmed. Authorities have declared infected and surveillance zones while banning the movement of pigs, piglets, pork, and pig products to contain the outbreak.
African Swine Fever is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic and wild pigs. Although it does not infect humans, it poses a serious threat to the livestock industry and the livelihoods of thousands of pig farmers in Nagaland.

A new ESO study warns that 1.7 million proposed satellites — led by SpaceX's 1 million Starlink plan — would devastate ground-based astronomy, blinding major telescopes and brightening the night sky 4x.

1.7 million satellites could end astronomy as we know it and SpaceX is leading the charge

Satellite megaconstellations are creating a problem for the environment, creating a high-altitude pollution problem that mimics an unregulated geoengineering experiment. Researchers used real-world atmospheric data from NOAA’s SABRE aircraft campaign to validate their models.

Scientists are warning of growing risks to satellites as a mysterious weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field continues to expand. The anomaly could expose spacecraft to increased radiation, raising concerns for navigation, communication, and space technology.

Earth’s Magnetic Shield Weakens as Mysterious Weak Spot Grows, Threatening Satellites

Scientists have flagged a catastrophic scenario waiting to unfold in low-Earth orbit, where a solar storm can trigger a collision between satellites, setting a chain reaction that ultimately leaves humans without access to them.

Apple is reportedly developing new satellite-powered iPhone features, which includes offline navigation and third-party app support. These upgrades could keep iPhones connected anywhere, even without cell or Wi-Fi networks.

iPhones may soon get offline navigation via satellites, reports say

A group of researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Maryland found nearly half of geostationary satellites transmit unencrypted data, exposing sensitive consumer, corporate, and military communications to interception.
