 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him. I see brilliance trapped by poverty and enormous promise abandoned by leadership,” ...

 NASA and India create satellite to map Earth with centimeter precision

NASA and India are set to launch a satellite on Wednesday from India’s southeastern coast that will map Earth’s surface with centimeter-level accuracy. The Indian Space Research Organization will launch the rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at 5:40 p.m. local time, according to a NASA news release. NASA will broadcast the launch starting at 7 a.m. EDT on Wednesday from its Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California via YouTube.

The satellite, roughly the size of a pickup truck, will orbit Earth 14 times daily, scanning nearly all land and ice twice every 12 days. It is the first satellite to use a dual-radar system combining L-band and S-band frequencies, known as the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR). This technology enables 3D mapping of Earth’s surface, allowing scientists to measure changes with high precision. The satellite’s radar can penetrate clouds and light rain, operating day and night, which will enhance monitoring of earthquake zones, landslides, and glacial ice changes, especially in Antarctica. The data will aid disaster preparedness for hurricanes, floods, and volcanic eruptions, as well as improve understanding of natural hazards and support infrastructure and agriculture monitoring. Managed by Caltech’s JPL, the U.S. team developed key components like the L-band radar and antenna, while NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center will receive the data for further analysis.
