Published: May 23 2025, 12 ameznews.inResearch published in *Nature Astronomy* reveals that Jupiter was once about twice its current size and had a magnetic field roughly 50 times stronger than today. Conducted by Konstantin Batygin from Caltech and Fred C. Adams from the University of Michigan, the study reconstructs Jupiter's early state using data from its small moons, Amalthea and Thebe. These moons' slightly tilted orbits provided clues to calculate Jupiter's primordial dimensions, estimated to have a volume equivalent to over 2,000 Earths. The findings highlight Jupiter's crucial role as the solar system's gravitational "architect," influencing the orbits of other planets and shaping the protoplanetary nebula from which they formed. Batygin emphasized the importance of understanding these early phases of planet formation to unravel the solar system's origins, noting that even after 4.5 billion years, significant clues remain to reconstruct Jupiter's early physical state.

Published: May 22 2025, 7 pmeznews.inThe Supreme Court of India is currently deliberating the status of waqfs—charitable donations in Islam—amidst arguments over the Waqf Amendment Law. Petitioners claim the law infringes on fundamental rights, asserting waqfs are essential to Islamic practice, while the government contends they are not a core religious requirement, allowing for better management of waqf properties, which include secular institutions. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal emphasized that waqfs are a dedication to God, contrasting with other religions' charitable practices. The court has raised concerns about the government's proposal to appoint non-Muslims to waqf boards, arguing it could undermine the autonomy of Islamic affairs. Additionally, the law's requirement that only practicing Muslims can donate has been criticized as discriminatory. The Supreme Court has reserved its decision on a plea to halt the implementation of the law, which has faced significant opposition for its perceived draconian measures.
