A 4G signal was successfully broadcast to regular cellphones on Earth by AST SpaceMobile, a company located in Texas. The signal originated from the company’s enormous BlueWalker 3 satellite. Gizmodo has reportedly discovered this. During the month of June, technicians put the satellite through a battery of tests, during which it was used to send […]

NASA is reportedly building a ChatGPT-like AI aide for astronauts. The AI might detect “inefficiencies” and let people communicate to the spaceship. Microsoft, Google, and NASA all love AI. Bing Chat and OpenAI’s GPT-4 have human-like interactions and are currently in phones, automobiles, and space stations. According to The Guardian, NASA visiting researcher Dr. Larissa […]

Over 5,000 extrasolar planets are known. NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, which outlived its primary mission, discovered almost half. The spacecraft followed Earth for nine and a half years, searching for brightness dips that may indicate a planet passing in front of its star. As gasoline ran out, the telescope recorded star brightness. The spacecraft decommissioned […]

Each spring and summer, hundreds of amateur astronomers in campers and pickups drive up a steep Allegheny Plateau road to northern Pennsylvania to see stars. In most cities’ light pollution halo, they crave it. Cherry Springs State Park, 135 miles northwest of Wilkes-Barre, is one of the few eastern US dark sky spots. Park authorities […]

The thermosphere, Earth’s second-highest layer, has achieved its greatest temperature in over 20 years. Geomagnetic storms this year triggered this temperature rise. As the sun heats up, scientists worry that temperatures will soar. Earth-orbiting satellites may have issues. The thermosphere begins at the top of the mesosphere, 53 miles (85 km) above Earth. NASA says […]

The Canadian-flagged vessel Polar Prince and the privately-operated submersible Titan, which collapsed and killed all five persons on board, were investigated by Canadian officials on Saturday.

The Transportation Safety Board […]

The ocean’s enormous grandeur may captivate and entice adventurers. It may also be dangerous, as the Titan submarine crew discovered when operators lost communication. The vessel held billionaire Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, and three others. Their wealth allowed them to visit the Titanic, which sank in 1912. This crew’s air was running out. Experts think […]

It is rare for a single scientific revelation to alter our understanding of the entire history of humanity. A newly discovered ancient footprint indicates that humans were walking approximately 30,000 years earlier than previously believed. The discovery of a 153,000-year-old footprint in South Africa demonstrates that bipedal Homo sapiens inhabited the region. The footprints are […]
