The fastest asteroid in the Solar System has been discovered at NOIRLab’s CTIO using the powerful 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera (DECam) in Chile — the Sun’s new nearest neighbor.
Using the powerful 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera (DECam) in Chile, astronomers recently discovered an asteroid with the shortest orbital period of any known asteroid in the Solar System.
Orbiting solar farms not as out-of-this-world as you think
Solar power is notoriously unreliable .
But what if we could have solar panels that always face the sun, that are immune to the vagaries of British Isles weather, and which could never be accused of blighting the countryside?
