The decision by Panasonic to move to a full-system labor warranty further demonstrates the company’s commitment to provide complete peace of mind to homeowners; by adding the labor coverage, customers have one less step to worry about in the warranty claims process.
The previous arrangement only covered labor for solar panels through authorized and premium installers, while the new, enhanced labor warranty now applies to the the full system. Under the new warranty, Panasonic will alleviate the labor costs associated with servicing valid warranty claims for the solar panel and certain other hardware components if installed with a Panasonic AC module.

Observatories around the solar system team up to study sun's influence
A confluence of events in early 2020 created a nearly ideal space-based laboratory, combining the alignment of some of humanity's best observatories—including Parker Solar Probe, during its fourth solar flyby—with a quiet period in the sun's activity, when it's easiest to study those background conditions.
The sun is an active star whose magnetic field is spread throughout the solar system , carried within the sun's constant outflow of material called the solar wind . It affects spacecraft and shapes the environments of worlds throughout the solar system. We've observed the sun, space near Earth and other planets, and even the most distant edges of the sun's sphere of influence for decades.
News | Proposed NASA Mission Would Visit Neptune's Curious Moon Triton
When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Neptune's strange moon Triton three decades ago, it wrote a planetary science cliffhanger.
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft ever to have flown past Neptune, and it left a lot of unanswered questions. The views were as stunning as they were puzzling, revealing massive, dark plumes of icy material spraying out from Triton 's surface. But how? Images showed that the icy landscape was young and had been resurfaced over and over with fresh material. But what material, and from where?
New exoplanet system is 'mirror image' of Earth and sun | Space | EarthSky
Researchers from Germany and the US have discovered an exoplanet less than twice the size of Earth orbiting at about the same distance from its star, making it the closest analog to the Earth-sun system known so far.
Diagram depicting how KOI-456.04 orbits in the habitable zone of its star, Kepler-160, at about the same distance Earth is from the sun. The planet, less than twice the size of Earth, therefore receives about the same amount of solar energy as Earth does. This is the closest Earth-sun analog discovered so far among exoplanets.

Keeping net energy metering credits ‘clean’ in California means adding relays and
It’s during the interconnection review and approval processes that most developers run into the NEM integrity issue with California’s big utilities.
* * *
With more behind-the-meter hybrid solar-plus-storage systems being interconnected in California, developers are running into the issue of maintaining "clean" net energy metering (NEM) credits. The rules around how to do this are confusing, and this article aims to explain the issue and the practical implications of meeting the requirements.

Oumuamua: Neither Comet nor Asteroid, but a Cosmic Iceberg - The New York Times
It has been two and a half years since astronomers in Hawaii discovered a strange, cigar-shaped object speeding through the solar system on a trajectory from far away and toward even farther away. Today Oumuamua, the Hawaiian term for "scout," as the object was named, is now long gone, somewhere between the orbits of Saturn and Neptune and on its way to the Great Out There, but astronomers are still wondering and debating what it was.
The cosmic interloper was first thought to be an interstellar asteroid, a chunk of rock shed by another star system. Then astronomers decided it must be a comet , likewise flung loose from some faraway star and planetary system. Briefly they speculated that it could be an alien artifact, a derelict probe like the giant spaceship in Arthur C. Clarke's novel "Rendezvous With Rama," or a fragment from a planetesimal that was ripped apart by a gravitational interaction or collision.
