Streams of Starlink satellites reported as UFOS, and it will happen again | KLAS - 8 News Now

Streams of Starlink satellites reported as UFOS, and it will happen again | KLAS - 8 News Now Frank Gonzales told Albuquerque’s KRQE News 13 what he saw earlier this week: "There were lights going across the whole sky . And at first, I'd seen them coming from a bright light over there, and then I started counting them, and I counted like 30." Aliens. I thought it was UFOs, I really did. I've never seen nothing like it. I thought it was UFOs. * * * An experiment that was part of the Jan. 6 SpaceX launch attempted to “mask” satellites so they didn’t appear so bright in the night sky, but that technology is intended to be used when the satellites reach their final orbit — not when they initially stream through the sky soon after launch.

Exoskeletons are essentially walking robots which people can be strapped into. Although they can currently cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, Ames says they're at a tipping point that could allow production volumes that would bring costs down. "We have the math. We have the science. We have the technology to get exoskeletons and other assisted devices into people's homes in the near term," Ames said.

Qualitative Classification of Extraterrestrial Civilizations - Astrobiology

Image
Two-dimensional classification of the ETCs. Top: The horizontal axis expresses the capabilities of an ETC to interact with its environment. The vertical axis quantifies the amount of energy available to them, as defined by the classical Kardashev's scale. Bottom: Generalized two-dimensional classification. The horizontal axis shows the level of integration with the environment. Abridged: The interest towards searches for extraterrestrial civilizations (ETCs) was boosted by the discovery of thousands of exoplanets. We turn to the classification of ETCs for new considerations that may help to design better strategies for ETCs searches.

SpaceX launch succeeds, sending humans on first privately owned spaceflight - Vox

Image
Privately owned orbital human spaceflights are here. A new era of commercialized space travel begins. SpaceX's Crew Dragon Demo-2 is off to a roaring start. After a delayed launch earlier in the week, the spacecraft lifted off at 3:22 pm ET on Saturday. It left the planet, and entered Earth's orbit where it will later dock with the International Space Station (ISS), beginning a new era of commercial space tourism and exploration — all with the help of mercurial billionaire Elon Musk.

These Are The Strangest, Most Gloriously Alien Images Taken of Mars to Date

Image
We tend to think of Mars as similar to Earth, and in many ways that is true. It's relatively small and rocky. It has an atmosphere and recognisable geological features. We can identify the composition of its rocks, study its weather patterns , and detect seismic activity . But Mars is also very unlike Earth, too. And this is never clearer than when looking at photographs of the Red Planet taken by its rovers and orbiters. What we take for granted on Earth can turn into breathtakingly alien phenomena just a planet away.

MAXI J1820+070: Black hole outburst caught on video

Image
MAXI J1820+070: Black hole outburst caught on video The companion star orbiting the black hole has about half the mass of the sun. The black hole's strong gravity pulls material away from the companion star into an X-ray emitting disk surrounding the black hole. While some of the hot gas in the disk will cross the "event horizon" (the point of no return) and fall into the black hole, some of it is instead blasted away from the black hole in a pair of short beams of material, or jets. These jets are pointed in opposite directions, launched from outside the event horizon along magnetic field lines.
