Quick Summary
- solar Activities: The Sun experienced high activity with May 2025’s strongest solar flare recorded at X2.7 intensity,affecting global regions like North America,Europe,Africa,Southeast Asia via radio blackouts. Experts predict potential increases in future solar storms due to a 100-year solar cycle during the current solar maximum.
- Genetic Breakthrough: A U.S. baby diagnosed with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS1) deficiency became the first person to receive a personalized CRISPR gene-editing therapy tailored to correct a specific DNA mutation successfully.
- Science Highlights: Hypotheses suggest Yosemite valley’s ultra-deep canyon could have formed from ancient volcanic river action rather than uplift alone. Also notable science events include groundbreaking earthquake footage from Myanmar and debates over bioelectric “signals” in trees before eclipses.

Indian Opinion Analysis
While India’s communication services and satellites have demonstrated resilience against typical space weather events, frequent high-intensity solar flares offer reminders that preparedness measures-such as reinforced satellite systems-remain critical amid rising global space disruptions.
The CRISPR breakthrough is pivotal scientifically but reflects challenges India faces in adopting cutting-edge gene therapies for rare diseases effectively due to accessibility barriers and infrastructure gaps within its medical landscape.
accelerating geological and astronomical investigations worldwide underline expanding opportunities for Indian research institutions in interdisciplinary fields like genetic science or earth sciences but demand increased budget allocations towards collaborative innovation platforms connecting international expertise locally.
