Astronomers sound alarm about light pollution from satellites

Spacedaily.com 

Paris (AFP) March 20, 2023
Astronomers on Monday warned that the light pollution created by the soaring number of satellites orbiting Earth poses an "unprecedented global threat to nature." The number of satellites in low Earth orbit have more than doubled since 2019, when US company SpaceX launched the first "mega-constellation," which comprise thousands of satellites. An armada of new internet constellations are

El Centro, United States (AFP) March 20, 2023
A blanket of crops covers the floor of the Imperial Valley in southern California, a patchwork of vibrant greens given life by the Colorado River in a landscape bleached by the desert sun. But as a decades-long drought desiccates the US West and the once-mighty river dwindles, questions are being asked about why a handful of farmers are allowed to take as much water as all of Nevada and Ariz

Giant underwater waves affect the ocean's ability to store carbon

Cambridge UK (SPX) Mar 19, 2023
Underwater waves deep below the ocean's surface - some as tall as 500 metres - play an important role in how the ocean stores heat and carbon, according to new research. An international team of researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, and the University of California San Diego, quantified the effect of these waves and other forms of underwater turbulence

Paris (ESA) Mar 13, 2023
Europe's Galileo is the world's most precise satellite navigation system, providing metre-level accuracy and very precise timing to its four billion users. An essential ingredient to ensure this stays the case are the atomic clocks aboard each satellite, delivering pinpoint timekeeping that is maintained to a few billionths of a second. These clocks are called atomic because their 'ticks' come f

Venezuela, China, Biden and extraterrestrials: the disinformation of AI

Caracas (AFP) March 17, 2023
A blond television presenter seemingly working for a channel called the "House of News" looks into the camera and asks in English: "How true is it that Venezuela is such a poor country?" But this man is not a journalist - or even a real human being. He's an avatar generated by artificial intelligence (AI), a tool that is becoming ever more common in global disinformation. Subtitled cli

Minimizing electric vehicles' impact on the grid

Energy-daily.com 

Boston MA (SPX) Mar 21, 2023
National and global plans to combat climate change include increasing the electrification of vehicles and the percentage of electricity generated from renewable sources. But some projections show that these trends might require costly new power plants to meet peak loads in the evening when cars are plugged in after the workday. What's more, overproduction of power from solar farms during the day
