As Japan prepares for the 'Year of the Snake', a time of rebirth, many of the country’s businesses and homes are cleaned in anticipation. In South Korea, New Year's celebrations are subdued due to national mourning for the victims of a tragic airline crash. Meanwhile, Bangkok’s shopping malls compete for attention with live music and fireworks, and Jakarta dazzles with a drone-powered fireworks display. In China and Russia, leaders Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin exchanged New Year's greetings, reaffirming their strong ties despite Western tensions. Xi emphasized China's claim over Taiwan, while Putin highlighted Russia's resilience and unity.
The year 2024 proved to be an outstanding time in the realm of space exploration, where the milestones achieved by several agencies held the world in awe. Milestone scientific discoveries and technological achievements marked humanity's unwavering quest to know more about the universe.
From Moon to Mars, and from solar breakthroughs to democratising space access, a multitude of missions throughout the year made our understanding of the solar system better. Whether you're celebrating with friends, sharing laughs with family, or enjoying a quiet evening on your own, New Year’s Eve is all about reflecting on the past and getting excited for what’s to come.
