VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA - APRIL 27, 2020: 60 of the Starlink Internet communication satellites of Elon Musk s SpaceX private spaceflight company seen in the night sky. On April 22, 2020, SpaceX successfully launched 60 Starlink satellites into orbit on the Falcon 9 rocket from NASA s Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. The Starlink project is aimed at providing low-cost internet to remote locations; SpaceX is planning to launch into orbit about 30,000 satellites. Following the launch of the first batch of the Starlink satellites, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) expressed concerns about the satellites being too bright and forming a megaconstellation and thus causing serious problems for astronomers.

Elon Musk says his Neuralink company may begin implanting chips in human brains this year. Is this revolutionary or a way to get humans to ignore the massive Tesla recalls?
Coffee farmers in Ethiopia are hopeful that they can soon combat the coffee leaf rust fungus destroying their crops with a cannibal fungus that eats other parasitic funguses. Wait for more research before you try this on your athlete’s foot.
Watch what you say around marmosets at the zoo anthropologists from the University of Zurich used thermal imaging to measure the temperature fluctuations caused by facial changes on the tiny monkeys and found that marmosets enjoy eavesdropping on the conversations of other marmosets. What’s worse – you just know they’re talking about you.
Scientists have revealed an incredibly detailed image of the moon s surface showing objects as small as five metres in diameter, captured with reflected radar signals.
The image, released by the US s National Radio Astronomy Observatory, shows the landing site of NASA s Apollo 15 mission in 1971 and the surrounding grooves and jagged craters.
To obtain the image, researchers used satellites that shoot a powerful radar signal towards the moon, which was then reflected back to a system of 10 radio telescopes in North America, called the Very Long Baseline Array.
The final result marks a successful preliminary test of the highly complex radio telescope system.
Scientists might have discovered the first signs of the gravitational-wave background: a sea of ripples in space-time reverberating throughout the universe.
Albert Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves. They have recently been detected following violent collisions of black holes and neutron stars.
By monitoring dead stars throughout our galaxy, scientists found a signal that could be a steady thrum of gravitational waves radiating from distant galaxies as supermassive black holes collide.
Scientists may be on the brink of discovering a new phenomenon reverberating throughout the cosmos: a steady thrum of ripples in space-time.
Albert Einstein first predicted that colliding massive objects like black holes would create such ripples, called gravitational waves. But he thought that the noise and vibrations on Earth would prevent us from ever being able to detect these waves. In that aspect, Einstein was wrong. One of the most remarkable experiments in history
