It was considered sacred and significant during the Vedic period, described as a powerful and holy river. Location and history.

Some scholars identify it with the present-day Ghaggar-Hakra River, while others link it to the Helmand River in Afghanistan.  Satellite studies have shown that the Ghaggar-Hakra once had significant water flows but became seasonal due to changes in climate and geography. This drying up is often linked to changes in the Indus Valley Civilization. Sarasvati in Hindu culture. In Hindu mythology, the Sarasvati is also a goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and learning.

This place is a significant religious site. Sarasvati is seen as a symbol of purity and inspiration in Hindu culture. Archaeological evidence. Many sites of the Indus Valley Civilization are located along the dry bed of the Sarasvati. This suggests that the river played an important role in the growth of these ancient settlements.

The Napindan Lighthouse, also called ""Napindan Parola" (Filipino: "Parola ng Napindan")", is a lighthouse off the banks of "Barangay Napindan" in the municipality of Taguig, Rizal province of present-day Metro Manila.  History. Before the Spanish colonization, a Tagalog settlement already existed in Napindan, which became active in commerce and migration.  According to "Vocabulario de la lengua tagala" (1754), the name "Napindan" was derived from the Tagalog word "pindan", which is a synonym of the words "pinid" () or "sarado" (), both meaning "closed". During the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines, merchants traversing in and out of Laguna de Bay via Napindan had issues with the formation of sandbars which posed a danger to water vessels,  hence the necessity for the lighthouse particularly during nighttime navigation. Other than its functional purpose, the Napindan Lighthouse became known for a historic meeting of high-ranking commanders of the revolutionary "Katipunan", a secret society of Filipino nationalists who sought independence from Spain in the late 19th century. On the night of May 29, 1896, the patriots Andrés Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo and Pío Valenzuela converged on the riverine island to forge an audacious plan against the Spanish colonial government. After the events of the Spanish-American War, in turn, the newly installed United States colonial government in the Philippines destroyed the lighthouse on March 19, 1899 to deprive the Katipunan command and control over the area.  In recent times, a concrete structure with a solar-power beacon was built by the Philippine Coast Guard to help guide barges, tankers and small vessels in navigating between the Pasig River and Laguna de Bay but nevertheless, the structure is presently classified as "permanently closed" pending a proposed restoration.

The National Competency Assessment is a nationwide educational assessment in Hungary mandated by Section 99 of the 1993 Act LXXIX on Public Education. It takes place every school year on the last Wednesday of May in all primary and secondary schools for students in grades 6, 8, and 10. Every student in these grades participates.

The Discovery Program is a group of space missions to explore the Solar System. It is funded by NASA through its Planetary Missions Program Office. Discovery missions cost less than missions in NASA's New Frontiers or Flagship programs. Because of this, Discovery missions usually focus on one specific scientific goal instead of exploring many topics. The Discovery program started in 1990 and was founded by NASA administrator Daniel Goldin. It was part of NASA's plan to make space missions faster, cheaper, and better. In this program, scientists suggest their own ideas for space missions. Experts review the ideas, and NASA chooses the best ones. Each mission is led by a scientist called the (PI). Teams for the missions can include people from universities, companies, or government labs. The program also has "Missions of Opportunity." These missions let NASA work with spacecraft from other space agencies. NASA might add a science tool to another agency’s spacecraft or use one of its own spacecraft in a new way. As of June 2021, the newest Discovery missions chosen were VERITAS and DAVINCI. These are the 15th and 16th missions in the program.
