India will soon be among the elite league of nations that own and operate two or more spaceports - facilities from where rockets can be assembled and launched into space. So far, only the US, Russia, China, and Japan are known to operate two or more spaceports. Having two or more spaceports offers flexibility and the ability to perform a greater number of launches, thereby increasing commercial activity. A spaceport is established by considering various factors - geographical location, weather conditions, and availability of vast tracts of uninhabited land, among others. 

Researchers have uncovered several new species of fungi lurking in the sediment of riverbeds across Spain, raising concerns about their potential harm to humans. The study was published in the Journal of Fungi. These newly discovered fungi are closely related to pathogenic species known to cause infections in humans. The research notes that during periods of drought, these fungi could become airborne and pose a risk of infection to both humans and animals.

Unveiling new details into Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier", scientists have revealed that the Thwaites Glacier has been losing ice since the 1940s. The insights into the melting of the glacier are crucial as it can have a potentially catastrophic impact on sea levels. The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers, utilising marine sediment cores, unearthed evidence suggesting a significant retreat commenced in the 1940s, likely catalyzed by an intense El Nino event.
