On February 20, Tropical Depression 02W strengthened into a tropical storm and received the name Wutip from the JMA.

Later that day, Wutip reached its initial peak intensity, with 10-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 925 millibars (27.3 inHg), making the storm a high-end Category 4-equivalent super typhoon as it passed to the southwest of Guam.
This also allowed Wutip to surpass Typhoon Higos from 2015 as the strongest February typhoon on record.
On February 24, Typhoon Wutip finished its eyewall replacement cycle and quickly re-intensified, resuming a trend of rapid intensification.
Early on February 25, at 06:00 UTC, Wutip peaked as a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon, with 10-minute sustained winds of 195 km/h (120 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph), making Wutip the most powerful February typhoon recorded.

On March 1, Wutip made a clockwise loop to the west, before dissipating on the next day.
On Guam, Civil defense officials warned that the island was expected to experience tropical storm force winds between 64–72 km/h (40–45 mph) and rainfall totals of up to 6 inches (15.24 centimeters), and they advised the residents of Guam residents to stay indoors until the storm had passed.
Wutip caused power outages across the island when it passed through the area on February 23.
Back on Federated States of Micronesia, it passed over Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Yap states in the Federated States of Micronesia from February 19–22 as a Category 2 typhoon with sustained wind speeds of more than 160 km/h (100 mph).

Chandrayaan-2, meaning Lunar Craft or Moon Craft, ( ) is India's second moon mission after Chandrayaan-1.
Made by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the mission was launched from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 22 July 2019 at 2:43 PM IST (09:13 UTC) to the Moon by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III).
A proper landing on the lunar south pole would make India the 4th country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, after the space agencies of the USA, USSR, and China.
The mission landing was expected on 7 September 2019 at 01:55 AM IST (6 September 2019, 20:25 UTC)  but crashed when it lost communication at a 2100 metre altitude.
On 12 November 2007, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and ISRO agreed to work together on the Chandrayaan-2 project.
ISRO would be in charge of the orbiter and rover, while Roscosmos was to build the lander.
The design of the spacecraft was completed in August 2009, with scientists of both countries conducting a joint review.
Although ISRO finalised the payload for Chandrayaan-2 on schedule, the mission was moved to 2016 because Russia was unable to build the lander on time.
When Russia decided it would not be able to build a lander by 2015, India decided to develop the lunar mission on its own.
The spacecraft's launch had been scheduled for March 2018, but was delayed.
Two of the lander's legs got minor damage during one of the tests in February 2019, making the launch date even later.
The main goals of Chandrayaan-2 are to demonstrate the ability to soft-land on the lunar surface and operate a robotic rover on the surface.
Studies of lunar topography,mineralogy, elemental abundance, the lunar exosphere, and signatures of hydroxyl and water ice are the scientific goals.
The orbiter will survey the lunar surface and help to prepare 3D maps of it.
The onboard radar will also survey the surface while studying the water ice in the lunar south pole and thickness of the Lunar soil on the surface.

The house fell into disrepair and was demolished in 2016.
First house
Sunninghill Park was originally part of Windsor Forest until 1630, when King Charles I granted it to Thomas Carey.
The first significant house was built on the estate in the late Georgian period in the early 19th century, being a stucco building of two stories with later additions.
It served as the headquarters of the American Ninth Air Force from November 1943 to September 1944.
The Crown Estate Commissioners purchased the property from Philip Hill in 1945.
The main house was to be occupied by Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and her future husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, after their wedding in November 1947.
However, the house burned down on 30 August 1947 before their wedding, so they rented Windlesham Moor instead.
In the mid-1960s, the site was considered for a new home for Princess Margaret.
Second house

The Duke of York and his former wife shared the family's home until 2004, when he moved to the Royal Lodge, the refurbishment of which was funded by taking out a mortgage on Sunninghill Park.
The Duchess of York moved out in 2006.
By 2009, it had "doors hanging open, weeds sprouting through the terrace paving, windows broken, grass growing through the cover over the empty swimming pool, peeling paintwork and a general air of dereliction."
In July 2009, Bracknell Forest Borough Council were said to be considering seizing the property under the Housing Act 2004 and using it as a homeless shelter, following several reported break-ins.
In 2013 the owner was granted planning permission to demolish it and replace it with a larger house, and in 2014, photos showed the former royal home appeared to be seriously dilapidated.
Demolition was temporarily halted when more than 100 bats were found roosting under its roof, before its actual demolition.
