Quite a few film folk attended a special screening Kabir Khan's Web series The Forgotten Army: Azaadi Ke Liye, which starts streaming on Amazon Prime from January 24.

When director Goldie Behl turned 45 on January 24, his gorgeous wife Sonali Bendre threw a birthday bash for him.

A day before Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal, which has got mixed reviews, released in theatres on Valentine's Day, a special screening was held for its cast and their friends.

Karan Johar's Kalank may have tanked at the box office but it was a winner at the 12th Mirchi Music Awards, where it won the top awards.

When Vicky's latest film Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship had a special screening, Katrina made sure to attend.

Shraddha Kapoor took some time off from the promotions of her upcoming film Baaghi 3 to celebrate her birthday with her fans and the media.

Radhika Madan chose a sweet way to promote her new film, Angrezi Medium.

Aparshati Khurana started the Antakshri Challenge and invited his friends from the industry to sing along.

'When they were looking for an action girl, I wanted my name to be right on top.'

These videos are like butterflies in a case, says Sreehari Nair. They have neither aged badly nor grown over-familiar.

Though the term “veteran” is often uttered in the same breath as “war,” many U.S. veterans served during times of peace. This includes more than 10,000 men and women in the Veterans History Project archive who served during the period known as the Cold War era.

Entirely comprised of military volunteers, the online exhibit speaks to the motivations of veterans who served during an era of escalating international tensions. Trained to fight a Soviet threat, their narratives invariably give voice to conflicts derived from their ancestry, gender, and opposition to traditional warfighting techniques.

Share this link  and if you know any Cold War veterans, collect their stories for the Library of Congress:

The mission of the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center is to collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of U.S. veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.

Six Wednesday night classes beginning April 7.

Six-week course begins Sept. 15.

Jump-start your skywatching skills with this six-week course on Wednesday afternoons.

If you've never been to a Morehead skywatching session, you have to check this out.

This event was rained out in June.

We'll be at Jordan Lake State Park and Little River Regional Park (weather permitting).

We looked at the weather forecasts and cancelled both sessions (Friday and Saturday).

Skies became too cloudy for clear viewing!

May 31 at Jordan Lake State Park.

Join us for Skywatching on Dec. 12 at Little River Regional Park and Dec. 13 at Jordan Lake

This week, walk like an elephant—very far, with seeds in your guts, Cassini’s mission to Saturn wraps up with news on the habitability of its icy moon Enceladus, and how our shoes manage to untie themselves with Online News Editor David Grimm. Aylin Caliskan joins Sarah Crespi to discuss how biases in our writing may be perpetuated by the machines that learn from them. Listen to previous podcasts. Download the show transcript.

A detection of a single neutrino at the 1-square-kilometer IceCube detector in Antarctica may signal the beginning of “neutrino astronomy.” The neutral, almost massless particle left its trail of debris in the ice last September, and its source was picked out of the sky by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope soon thereafter. Science News Writer Daniel Clery joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the blazar fingered as the source and how neutrinos from this gigantic matter-gobbling black hole could help astronomers learn more about mysterious high-energy cosmic rays that occasionally shriek toward Earth. Read the research. Sarah also talks with Cornell University’s Susan McCouch about her team’s work on deep-water rice. Rice can survive flooding by fast internodal growth—basically a quick growth spurt that raises its leaves above water. But this growth only occurs in prolonged, deep flooding. How do these plants know they are submerged and how much to grow? Sarah and Susan discuss the mechanisms involved and where they originated. This week’s episode was edited by Podigy.

Plan S, an initiative that requires participating research funders to immediately publish research in an open-access journal or repository, was announced in September 2018 by Science Europe with 11 participating agencies. Several others have signed on since the launch, but other funders and journal publishers have reservations. Host Meagan Cantwell speaks with Contributing Correspondent Tania Rabesandratana about those reservations and how Plan S is trying to change publishing practices and research culture at large. Some 1.7 million Jewish people were murdered by the Nazis in the 22 months of Operation Reinhard (1942–43) which aimed to eliminate all Jews in occupied Poland. But until now, the speed and totality of these murders were poorly understood. It turns out that about one-quarter of all Jews killed during the Holocaust were murdered in the autumn of 1942, during this operation. Meagan talks with Lewi Stone, a professor of biomathematics at Tel Aviv University in Israel and mathematical science at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, about this shocking kill rate, and why researchers are taking a quantitative approach to characterizing genocides.

We start our first episode of the new year looking at future trends in policy and research with host Joel Goldberg and several Science News writers. Jeffrey Mervis discusses upcoming policy changes, Kelly Servick gives a rundown of areas to watch in the life sciences, and Ann Gibbons talks about potential advances in ancient proteins and DNA. In research news, host Meagan Cantwell talks with Beatriz Pinto-Goncalves, a postdoctoral researcher at the John Innes Centre, about carnivorous plant traps. Through understanding the mechanisms that create these traps, Pinto-Goncalves and colleagues elucidate what this could mean for how they emerged in the evolutionary history of plants.
