NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft orbiting Mars has been declared dead after six months of radio silence. The space agency confirmed the mission has ended after more than a decade of observations.
Launched in 2013 to study Mars’ atmosphere, MAVEN fell silent in early December after passing behind the planet.
Data indicated the spacecraft went into a fast spin, which disrupted its orbit and drained the onboard batteries.

The US House of Representatives passed a resolution that seeks to halt President Donald Trump from taking further military action in Iran.
The 215-208 vote was successful after four Republicans joined Democrats in a rare public show of disapproval of the war, which began in February.
This is the fourth attempt by the House to rein in Trump's war powers, which critics say lack congressional approval.

“I am happy the #government has announced Rs 30,000 for a third child. I will get the money if I make it out of the labour room,” Shanthi, #pregnant with her third child after having two daughters, says family pressure—not preference—shaped her decision.
As #AndhraPradesh pushes a policy encouraging larger families, many women say the debate cannot be separated from health, financial insecurity and personal choice.
Across villages, women told that rising education and healthcare costs, #unemployment and the physical toll of repeated #pregnancies weigh far more heavily than cash incentives.
Their message is clear: before asking families to have more #children, address the realities of raising them.
