Amazon has unveiled plans to build a ground-mounted solar system in Singapore that is expected to generate 80,000 megawatt hours of energy a year. The 62-megawatt (MW) solar network will be tapped to power the US tech giant's operations, including data centres and fulfilment facilities.
The installation would sit on a temporary vacant land spanning 40 acres where it be deployed by local solar energy vendor, Sunseap Group. Slated for completion next year, the site would be the largest aggregated mobile solar system to be rolled out in the city-state, said Amazon Web Services' Asean managing director Conor McNamara in a post Monday.

Astronomers detect how many interstellar objects may be visiting our solar system, Science News |

The aim of the study was to find additional ISOs and planning missions to intercept or rendezvous with these bodies will greatly benefit from the knowledge of their likely orbits and arrival rates
Astronomers have detected how many interstellar objects may be visiting our solar system, in a recent study.
Updates from Johnson County Community College: Students launch solar system app that's out of
The Kansas Cosmos project covers the great vastness of the solar system with just a drive across the Sunflower State.
Imagine driving along I-70 across Kansas with a handheld telescope at your disposal. Wouldn't it be fascinating to know where you are in comparison to the vastness of the solar system?
Students and faculty from JCCC's Web Development, Graphic Design and Astronomy programs, along with JCCC's Honors Program and the Kansas Studies Institute, have created such a tool with the Kansas Cosmos project – a web application that maps the solar system to scale across the state of Kansas. It also provides facts about the specific objects orbiting roughly 62 miles above you!
US Nuclear Corp. Discusses Solar System Resources Corp. LOI with The Stock Day Podcast
Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2021) - The Stock Day Podcast welcomed US Nuclear Corp. (OTCQB: UCLE) ("the Company"), a radiation and chemical detection holding company specializing in the development and manufacturing and sales of radiation and chemical detection instrumentation. CEO of the Company, Bob Goldstein, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.
Jolly began the interview by asking about a recent announcement detailing the Company's involvement with Solar System Resources Corp. "They are a company in Krakow, Poland, and they've been reading our press releases. Solar System Resources is totally dedicated to the mining and extraction of rare earth and other important chemicals and minerals from the moon, Mars, asteroids, and even comets," explained Goldstein.
This may worth something:
Racking hardware is integral to overall residential solar system appearance
Many choices factor into a solar array's overall appearance. The most forward-facing elements are the modules themselves, but racking and mounting hardware play a major role in a rooftop system’s aesthetics. Racking choices like positioning modules closer to the roofline, matching popular solar panel frame colors, keeping wires tucked away and finishing projects with attractive endcaps and skirts are just as important as what color the modules are.
There are different aesthetic options based on roof type, but all residential solar systems can make use of skirts, clamps and wire management systems for a nice, finished look.
Hubble analyzes the atmosphere of a rocky planet outside the solar system – Outer Messenger
Thanks to the magnificent Hubble Space Telescope, we got a good look at the make-up of the atmosphere of a rocky planet outside the solar system last week, with a size and density similar to that of Earth. It’s far from a habitable paradise, so don’t get too excited, but it’s a notable breakthrough and a prelude to even more interesting results.
The work was accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal and is the result of a collaboration between American, British and Brazilian researchers. On the national side, Adriana Valio from the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie in São Paulo and Raissa Estrela, currently a postdoc at JPL, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the USA, took part.

Ethane Clathrate Hydrate Infrared Signatures For Solar System Remote Sensing - Astrobiology
Temperature-dependent infrared spectra of the ethane clathrate in the fundamental modes regions. The crystalline pure ethane spectrum of Hudson et al. (2014) recorded at 15K is shown above. The infrared spectrum of an H2O:C2H6 (20:1) ice mixture from the Cosmic Ice Laboratory (Hudson et al., https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/691/cosmicice/spectra.html), recorded at 20K, is shown above. The ethane:oxirane (7:3) mixed clathrate spectrum from Richardson et al. (1985) recorded at 90K is also shown.
