The lander Vikram has placed itself in an orbit where the closest point to the Moon is 25 km and the farthest is 134 km.

19-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla, who has been sentenced to life in prison for intentionally crashing her car into a brick wall to kill her boyfriend and another friend, paid tribute to him several times online less than a month after the murders.  According to Fox News , Ms Shirilla was found guilty of four counts of murder earlier this week in the July 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, 20, and his friend Davion Flanagan, 19. She was reportedly smoking marijuana with the duo before she got behind the wheel and rammed the car into the brick wall of a warehouse in Cleveland, US, with no attempt to hit the brakes.  Mr Russo, who was in the passenger seat, and Mr Flanagan, who was riding in the back, were both declared dead at the scene, the outlet reported. Ms Shirilla, however, miraculously survived the crash and was found unconscious with her slippers still on the accelerator.  Weeks after the incident, Ms Shirilla, then 17, left more than a dozen biza...

Indian captain Rohit Sharma will also attend the meeting. India's team has yet to announce their squad for Asia Cup and World Cup amid concerns over the injury of their key players, while nations like Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh have already named their Asia Cup squads. England and Australia have also announced the provisional squad for the World Cup 2023. It will be interesting to see if India selects 15 players or selects a few more since all of these extended squads contain more than 15 players. India's three key players Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer suffered injuries that kept them out of the action. Although, Bumrah has made his comeback in the three-match series against Ireland where he is leading the side. The selector would have an eye on the fitting of Bumrah in the ongoing ...
