Luna 25, Russia’s first moon mission in nearly 50 years, has ended in a crash landing, the Russian space agency said on Sunday, once again highlighting the risks involved in a lunar landing. Since 1976, there has been just one country, China, which has been successful in getting its spacecraft to soft land on the moon. It has done that twice, with Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4. All other attempts in the last ten years, by India, Israel, Japan and now Russia, have remained unsuccessful. India is making a second attempt to land later this week, with Chandrayaan-3 getting into the pre-landing orbit early on Sunday morning.

Russian space agency Roscosmos had said that during the operation, “an emergency situation” had risen which stopped t

 Types of Iris Color 👁 Eye color is the result of variations in the amount of melanin, a pigment found in the front part of the iris of the eye. The lack of this pigment results in blue eyes, some pigment gives green and lots of pigment gives #brown_eyes. So light brown eyes just have a bit less melanin than darker brown eyes. All of the different shades of eye color happen the same way. Blue-green eyes have an amount of melanin between green and blue, hazel eyes have an amount of pigment between green and brown, etc. Scientists have even found the key gene, OCA2, which can explain why some people have brown eyes and some people don't.
