Sky Spies: The Ultimate Guide to Weather Satellites Tracking Storms, Saving Lives, and Monitoring Climate

NASA’s TIROS-1 launched in 1960, transmitting over 19,000 cloud images in 78 days and proving satellite weather observation. By mid-2025, more than 300 Earth observation satellites are in orbit, including advanced systems like GOES-16, Himawari-8/9, and FY-4A, providing rapid, high-resolution data.

  • March 20: Indian Markets Rebound on Easing Oil Prices and Global Sentiment
    March 20, 2026, 3:10 PM EDT. Indian equity markets showed resilience on March 20, with the BSE Sensex rising 325 points to 74,532 and the Nifty 50 climbing over 112 points above 23,100. Easing crude oil prices and hopes of tension de-escalation in the Middle East lifted sentiment amid a cautious backdrop. IT and PSU banks led sector gains, while midcaps and smallcaps saw moderate advances. However, pressure on heavyweight HDFC Bank lingered due to governance concerns. Persistent headwinds include net selling by foreign investors, a weakening rupee near a record low of 93 per USD, and elevated oil prices above $110 per barrel. Global markets were mixed; gold rose over 1%, signaling safe-haven demand, while India's 10-year bond yield inched up. Market watchers expect consolidation with volatility linked to oil, global policy, and geopolitical risks.
