Washington DC (UPI) Feb 2, 2024 - NASA released new images from the Hubble Space Telescope on Friday with rare images of two galaxies merging.

The telescope showed a blue compact galaxy called ESO185-IG013, which appears to be part of a galaxy collision because of its mix between young and older cluster of stars. Blue compact galaxies, of BGC, are nearby galaxies that show an intense burst of star formation.

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Feb 01, 2024 - Shanghai Jiao Tong University is advancing its astronomical capabilities with the construction of the country's most powerful spectral telescope. The Jiaotong University Spectroscopic Telescope (JUST), featuring a significant 4.4-meter aperture, is slated for completion and utilization by 2026. This development, as reported by Science and Technology Daily, marks a pivotal step in China's astronomical research endeavors.

Mumbai, India (SPX) Feb 05, 2024 - The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research's GRAPES-3 experiment, based in Ooty, India, has made a pivotal discovery in the field of cosmic ray physics. Researchers have identified a new characteristic in the cosmic-ray proton spectrum at an energy level of around 166 tera-electron-volt (TeV), a finding that spans a measurement range from 50 TeV to just over one peta-electron-volt (PeV). This observation introduces a potential shift in our understanding of cosmic ray origins... Читать дальше...

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 31, 2024 - On April 8, the Moon's shadow will sweep across the United States, as millions will view a total solar eclipse. For many, preparing for this event brings memories of the magnificent total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017.

In 2017, an estimated 215 million U.S. adults (88% of U.S. adults) viewed the solar eclipse, either directly or electronically. They experienced the Moon pass in front of the Sun, blocking part or all of our closest star's bright face. The eclipse... Читать дальше...

San Francisco (AFP) Jan 30, 2024 - Microsoft and Google delivered solid corporate earnings on Tuesday as the tech giants said demand for artificial intelligence services stoked revenue.

The tech titans have made big bets on generative AI, with their cloud computing divisions seeing a boost in demand as clients seek the hefty -- and more expensive - computing power that drives the technology.

New York (AFP) Feb 2, 2024 - The New York City subway has pulled its controversial security robot out of service after little more than five months patrolling the busy Times Square station.

K-5, as the robot's call sign goes, has been retired to a storage lot, The New York Times reported Friday.

Paris, France (SPX) Feb 02, 2024 - In an innovative step towards advancing space technology, the European Space Agency's (ESA) ORBIT laboratory at the ESTEC technical center in the Netherlands has become the stage for a unique experiment. Jules Noirant, an ESA engineer, recently conducted a noteworthy test involving a satellite simulator platform that floats on a cushion of air, showcasing the lab's capabilities in simulating the weightless conditions of space on Earth.

The focus of this experiment was on the REACSA platform's guidance... Читать дальше...
