    Nepal's Long Reigning Rato Macchindranath Chariot Festival Drags To End
    Nepali devotees pull the chariot of the Red God, Rato Macchindranath, to the resting point as it approaches the final tour of the city, wrapping up the months-long chariot procession in Lalitpur, Nepal, on May 29, 2025. Nepal's Red God, Rato Macchindranath, completes the tour of the ancient city of Lalitpur, covering a span of three months. The 32-foot tall chariot is pulled up to Jawalakhel, the last spot where the chariot is dismantled after the procession of Bhoto Jatra. Running over the span of weeks depending on astrology, the Rato Macchindranath Chariot festival starts from late April to early May. According to the lunar calendar, the longest chariot festival of Nepal begins on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of Bachhala, the seventh month in the lunar Nepal Sambat calendar, but this year it does not fall as per the set-out rule. The chariot procession of Rato Macchindranath, also called ''Bunga Dugh'' in Newari, meaning the God of Rain and Harvest, is the longest Jatra in Nepal, running for months depending widely on astronomy.

    Nepali devotees watch the chariot of Rato Machhindranath through the inner ways of the ancient city of Lalitpur in Lalitpur, Nepal, on May 1, 2025, on the first day of the chariot roll-out procession. The Rato Machhindranath chariot festival is one of the greatest religious events in the city and the longest chariot festival celebrated in the country. The longest chariot festival of Nepal commences for weeks depending on astrology. According to folklore, Rato Machhindranath is the god of rain and harvest. (Photo by Sanjit Pariyar/NurPhoto)

    PICTURE SHOWS: This image, taken with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), shows the nearby galaxy NGC 4254. NGC 4254 is a grand-design spiral galaxy located approximately 45 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices. The image is a combination of observations conducted at different wavelengths of light to map stellar populations and warm gas. The golden glows mainly correspond to clouds of ionised hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur gas, marking the presence of newly born stars, while the bluish regions in the background reveal the distribution of slightly older stars. The image was taken as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) project, which is making high-resolution observations of nearby galaxies with telescopes operating across the electromagnetic spectrum.

    A team of astronomers has released new observations of nearby galaxies that resemble colourful cosmic fireworks. The images, obtained with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), show different components of the galaxies in distinct colours, allowing astronomers to pinpoint the locations of young stars and the gas they warm up around them. By combining these new observations with data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ESO is a partner, the team is helping shed new light on what triggers gas to form stars.

    Astronomers know that stars are born in clouds of gas, but what sets off star formation, and how galaxies as a whole play into it, remains a mystery. To understand this process, a team of researchers has observed various nearby galaxies with powerful telescopes on the ground and in space, scanning the different galactic regions involved in stellar births.

NGC 4303 is a spiral galaxy, with a bar of stars and gas at its centre, located approximately 55 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The image is a combination of observations conducted at different wavelengths of light to map stellar populations and gas. ALMA’s observations are represented in brownish-orange tones and highlight the clouds of cold molecular gas that provide the raw material from which stars form. The MUSE data show up mainly in gold and blue.
