A scale model of the solar system designed by artist and children's author Oliver Jeffers is going on display in Derry-Londonderry, Belfast and Cambridge as part of Unboxed: Creativity in the UK , a collaboration across art, science and technology.
Our Place in Space incorporates a 10km three-dimensional sculpture trail, an interactive AR app, and major learning and events programmes.
First ever quadruple Asteroid system discovered in our solar system!
A team of researchers from Thailand and France have discovered the first known quadruple Asteroid system in our solar system. A third moon has been spotted orbiting the main-belt asteroid Elektra which was already known to have two moons in its orbit.
Berdeu's algorithms confirmed the two previously known moons as well as the fainter third moon which is no longer hidden by the main asteroid Elektra's brightness.
How much do solar panels cost? (2022)
Although solar power is now more cost-effective than ever, it's essential to understand how residential solar systems operate and what the general pricing guidelines are for equipment and ongoing maintenance. Being armed with this information can help you avoid paying too much for your panels.
Poll: 84% of Florida voters support current rooftop solar system - Tampa Bay Business Journal
As lawmakers look to bring an end to net metering in Florida, a recent poll shows voters overwhelmingly support net metering and other incentives for solar energy.
Data released Tuesday in a new Mason-Dixon poll shows 84% of Florida voters support net metering, an existing practice in which solar panel owners who generate more energy than they use may sell the excess energy to utility panels at the retail rate the utilities would charge to use that amount
When the next interstellar object comes, James Webb Space Telescope will be there to study it |
The next time a space rock races through our solar system from beyond, humans will be a little more prepared to unlock its secrets.
To date, astronomers have identified two interstellar objects that came from other neighborhoods and rushed through the solar system . In 2017, there was 'Oumuamua, and in 2018, Borisov followed, giving scientists a tantalizing glimpse at other planetary systems.
Asteroid Passing Earth - 2022 BH7 Close Path by Earth
Fed-up Texans are creating their own tiny power grids. Here's how.
Sam Bryan talks about the battery panels in the back yard of the new solar panel power system he installed on the roof his two story 1930's home Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022 in Houston, TX.
The same transformer has long had issues, he said, leading to blackouts at Bryan's house and those of his neighbors several times a year. But in January, Bryan's lights stayed on, thanks to 43 photovolatic solar panels bolted onto his roof and a battery system stored in his garage.
Space heist (or, how to steal a planet) | Endless Thread
On December 28, 2004, CalTech astronomer Mike Brown and his colleagues found an unnamed dwarf planet drifting through the far reaches of the solar system.
Something seemed off, though. Users of an online astronomical message board started to ask: How could two teams on opposite sides of the world simultaneously find the same tiny rock?
Where on Earth Did the Water Come From?
Evidence from the analysis of lunar samples suggest that although the Earth and moon formed from a giant impact, they mostly retained their primordial abundances of volatile elements, including water. Credit: Image by Adam Connell/LLNL
Even though close to 70 percent of Earth’s surface is covered with water, overall the planet is a relatively dry place compared to many other objects in the solar system. And the moon is even drier.
Return to Neptune? The plans to send an… | The Planetary Society
Is it time NASA sent an orbiter to study the other blue planet in our solar system? Proposals for missions to study the ice giant planet Neptune and its mysterious moon Triton have been on NASA's to-do list for over a decade, but nothing has happened until now.
A mission to explore one of the ice giants — Uranus or Neptune — was one of the three priorities set out by the last Decadal Survey in 2010, along with Jupiter's moon Europa and a sample return mission to Mars.
