Scientists Discover Oxygen in Distant Galaxy, Revolutionizing Cosmic Understanding

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a unique gift from Elon Musk during their meeting in Washington, D.C., on February 13, 2025. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, presented Modi with a hexagonal ceramic heatshield tile that was used in the fifth test flight of SpaceX’s Starship on October 13, 2024. The tile is designed to protect spacecraft from extreme heat during atmospheric re-entry.
The gift was inscribed with "Starship Flight Test 5. October 13, 2024," reflecting its significance in aerospace achievements, as this mission successfully recovered its Super Heavy booster at the launch site, according to official reports. In a gesture of cultural exchange, Modi gifted Musk’s children three classic Indian books, including works by Rabindranath Tagore and Pandit Vishnu Sharma, which Musk's children were seen reading in images shared on social media.
Modi highlighted the discussion covering various topics such as space, technology, and governance reforms, noting the longstanding connection between them since their previous meeting in 2015.
