Space agency in India has successfully launched a rocket that is carrying an observatory which will study astronomical objects like black holes.
The rocket was launched from Sriharikota spaceport at 09:10 local time (03:40GMT) on Monday, 01 January 2024.
This is only the second mission in the world of this nature after NASA launching one in 2021. The space agency said it wanted to help scientists improve their “knowledge of black holes”.
PS: Black holes are some of the strangest and most fascinating objects in space. They’re extremely dense, with such strong gravitational attraction that not even light can escape their grasp (Space.Com).
