NATO defence ministers on Thursday (22 October) are expected to approve a plan to create a new space centre at the alliance’s Air Command in Ramstein, Germany, in response to growing concerns over protecting satellite and navigation assets from enemy interference.
The plans were first reported earlier on Monday by German press agency DPA and the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung.</em
According to the reports, the base would join with the NATO air force high command in Ramstein, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and would serve primarily as a coordination centre for space observation.

DC could host 10 demonstrations during election week | wusa9.com
WASHINGTON — The National Park Service is reviewing nine permits for demonstrations across the capital during Election Week, with one event approved so far, and the balance drawing attention to issues from election integrity to U.F.O.s.
The largest of the First Amendment permit applications calls for 10,000 people to organize with the group ShutDownDC , as demonstrators engage in a "week of action to ensure free and fair elections."
The group came into focus during the summer of 2019 when members blocked traffic throughout the District to highlight climate change inaction.

A French start-up has come up with a solution to solve the rising global demand for food and the lack of land by building an indoor insect farm.

Stars and planets grow up together as siblings -- ScienceDaily
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that planets start to form while infant stars are still growing. The high-resolution image obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) shows a young proto-stellar disk with multiple gaps and rings of dust. This new result, just published in Nature , shows the youngest and most detailed example of dust rings acting as cosmic cradles, where the seeds of planets form and take hold.
An international team of scientists led by Dominique Segura-Cox at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Germany targeted the proto-star IRS 63 with the ALMA radio observatory. This system is 470 light years from Earth and located deep within the dense L1709 interstellar cloud in the Ophiuchus constellation.
