Ever wondered why we exchange gifts at Christmas? 🎁✨

It all goes back to the Wise Men, also called the Three Kings.
They were travellers who followed a bright star across the desert to meet baby Jesus. They carried precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, showing honour and kindness.

Their thoughtful journey inspired today’s tradition of sharing presents with the people we love.
What gift of kindness will you share this Christmas?

An Indian team of astronomers, Rashi Jain and Prof. Yogesh Wadadekar, have discovered an ancient galaxy that bears a striking resemblance to our Milky Way 🌌🔭.

The light from this galaxy has travelled nearly 12 billion years to reach Earth, which means we are seeing it as it existed when the universe was still very young.
This finding helps scientists understand how galaxies like ours were born and how they changed over time.

Discoveries like this spark new questions about our cosmic neighbourhood.

What would you want scientists to find next in deep space?

Deepavali has officially been added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list 🎆🌏. This global honour celebrates traditions that communities treasure and pass down with love. Deepavali was chosen because of its strong cultural roots, its message of light defeating darkness, and the way families keep its rituals alive year after year.

UNESCO selects traditions that bring people together, show creative expression and carry deep meaning. Deepavali fits beautifully, with its glowing diyas, colourful rangoli, shared sweets and festive joy spreading across millions of homes worldwide.

The listing helps protect and promote Deepavali for future generations, shining a light on how culture connects us all.

Which Deepavali tradition do you think should stay forever?

Australia has now enforced its long-awaited social media ban for users under 16 years old 🇦🇺📵.
Although the law was passed last year, it has finally come into effect. Children under 16 can no longer use apps like Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat as part of a nationwide effort to create a safer online world.

Young users will have to wait until 16 to join social platforms, and companies must verify ages with far stricter checks. This move has already sparked global conversations about how countries can better protect children online 🌍✨
