Mission set to blast off for Mars to grab a piece of its moon
The spacecraft will head to Mars's larger moon, Phobos [JAXA] A spacecraft has launched from Japan headed for Mars' moon Phobos, where it will attempt to grab some moondust and bring it back to Earth. If it is successful, this will become the first time a sample has been returned from Mars or its moons to be analysed in laboratories here on Earth. The spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at Phobos in August 2027. It is hoped that the Mars Moons Exploration (MMX) mission, which is led by the Japanese Space Agency, will solve the mystery of how Mars's moons formed. Prof Sara Russell, from the Natural History Museum, who is the MMX mission's deputy for sample analysis, said: There hasn't yet been a successful mission to go to Phobos and bring a bit back to Earth. I think this is an incredibly ambitious and fun mission, she said. [BBC] There are only three moons in the inner Solar System: our own Moon, and two around Mars, which are called Phobos and Deimos. Both of these are tiny - Phobos is about 20km (12 miles) across and Deimos is about 10km (six miles) across. They are also irregularly shaped, looking a bit like space potatoes. The MMX spacecraft will study Deimos as it arrives in the Mars neighbourhood, and then will focus on Phobos. It plans to set down a small rover to explore the terrain, though this will be no easy feat. Sara Russell says no one has ever landed a rover on such a small moon. The moon itself doesn't have very much of its own gravity, she explained. But it's next to an enormous planet that's got a much higher gravity, and that makes it much harder to get a rover onto the surface. Mars got its moons about 4.5bn years ago - but no one knows how they formed [NASA] The rover will scout out a landing site so that the MMX spacecraft itself can later touch down on Phobos. Once on the surface, it will deploy a robotic arm and two samplers to grab some moon dust. This material will be packed into a small capsule that will return to Earth in 2031, landing in the Woomera desert of South Australia. The amount of material that will come back is tiny - just 10g. It's a very small [amount] actually, said Dr Chrysa Avdellidou, from Leicester University, who is working with the Japanese mission. However we can do several studies even on individual grains You don't need to have kilos back from a surface in order to do science. So it's worth every gram, she said. The spacecraft will collect 10g of moon dust from the surface of Phobos [JAXA] Scientists believe the sample will finally shed light on the puzzle of where Mars's moons came from. There are two competing ideas. Either a space rock smashed into Mars early in its history, and Phobos and Deimos were created from the debris. Or the moons are two wandering asteroids from the outer Solar System, which were grabbed by the Red Planet's gravity. When we get the sample back, we'll be able to look in detail at its chemistry and its mineral composition - and the two hypotheses will produce very distinct results, said Sara Russell. It should be pretty much immediately obvious.. whether it's the product of this dramatic impact or whether it's a captured asteroid. So we'll find that out really quickly. The team is also hoping there might be an extra bonus coming back to their labs. One of the really exciting things is that Phobos is so close to the Mars surface that whenever there's an impact into the Mars surface, little grains might actually become implanted into Phobos itself, said Russell. And that means that the sample we get back may actually contain grains of Mars as well. So it can give us really direct information about the composition and history of Mars. Martian meteorites are rare - this one is on display at the Natural History Museum [Kevin Church/BBC News] Bringing material from Mars back to Earth has long been an ambition of space scientists. The Nasa Perseverance rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2021, has been carefully collecting samples on Mars and storing them in canisters. But a second Nasa/ESA mission, called Mars Sample Return, that would have picked up and returned these canisters, has been effectively cancelled, after its funding was halted by the US Congress. China is planning its own sampling mission to Mars, set to launch in 2028. It will attempt to return Martian material to Earth in 2031. We do already have some fragments of the Red Planet here on Earth in the form of Martian meteorites. These are pieces of Mars that were blasted off the surface by asteroid strikes, and ended up being hurled towards the Earth. Martian meteorites are extremely rare, but like all space rocks that fall to our planet, they become contaminated as soon as they get here, mixing with the air, dust, soil and water. Scientists are so desperate to get their gloved hands on a direct sample from Mars and its moons because it would be pristine.

CLOSE BORDERS NOW!: Trump Orders Macron, Turns France Riots Into Immigration Weapon
Donald Trump has inserted himself into Frances unrest, claiming the migrants have taken over France and urging the country to CLOSE THE BORDERS, FAST! Trumps intervention comes as France faces nationwide demonstrations involving students, unions, farmers and other groups, driven by grievances including education, living costs and public services. The current unrest therefore has broader origins than immigration alone. But Trump is using the images of burning barricades, looting and clashes to reinforce his argument that European governments have failed to control migration. The US president made a similar argument after mass crossings into Spains Ceuta enclave, describing those scenes as an invasion and warning Americans that similar events could occur in the United States. Macron has advocated stronger EU external borders, faster returns and collective European migration controls. Trumps message is more direct: he is presenting Frances turmoil as another warning about borders as America approaches the midterms.

Asian Para Games: PM Modi praises Nishad Kumar's versatility after winning long jump gold
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday praised para-athlete Nishad Kumar for his versatility, determination and sporting excellence after he won a gold medal in the men's long jump T47 at the Asian Para Games in Nagoya, Japan, and said he was very proud of him. Winning a gold medal on his debut in the Asian Para Games makes the achievement even more special, the Prime Minister said in a post made by the PMO India on Monday. Nishad Kumar added an unexpected gold medal to his impressive para-athletics career, winning the mens T47 long jump at the 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on Monday with a best effort of 7.11 m. The two-time Paralympic silver medallist delivered a commanding performance at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium to secure Indias second gold of the Games. Very proud of Nishad Kumar on winning Gold in the Mens Long Jump T47 event at the Asian Para Games 2026 with an outstanding jump. Winning a Gold on his debut in this event makes the achievement even more special. His versatility, determination and sporting excellence are truly inspiring. Wishing him the very best for the endeavours ahead, PM Modi was quoted as saying in a post by PMO India. Known primarily for his achievements in the high jump, Nishad made an emphatic statement in a discipline that remains secondary to his speciality. His winning distance proved beyond the reach of the competition, with the Indian recording 7.11m twice during the final to establish his superiority. Nishad opened with a jump of 6.95m before moving into the lead with 7.09m in his second attempt. He then stretched his advantage with a 7.11 m effort in the third round, followed by a foul in his fourth attempt. The Indian bounced back in the fifth round to match his best distance before closing his campaign with 7.07m. Uzbekistans Omadbek Khasanov mounted the closest challenge, producing a season-best 6.99m to claim silver. Sri Lankas Mohammadu Safran completed the podium with a best jump of 6.55m. The triumph is particularly notable given Nishads relatively recent entry into long jump competitions. The Indian began exploring the event last year and arrived in Japan with limited competitive experience in the discipline. His performance in Aichi-Nagoya underlined his versatility and ability to translate his athletic qualities into another event. Nishads established reputation, however, rests on his achievements in the mens T47 high jump. He won silver at the Paris 2024 Paralympics and has also claimed a world championship gold in the discipline. At the Asian Para Games, he is the defending champion in the high jump, making him one of Indias key medal prospects in the event.
