They speak of repeated appearances of unknown luminous flying objects over the past 40 years near the 462m-high Senganmori mountain in Fukushima prefecture, reported the Mainichi Shimbun on Thursday.
And they have been leveraging the presence of these alleged UFOs to market the area as "home to aliens" to revitalise the local economy and put itself on the intergalactic map.
The alien mothership theory posits that a large, artificial craft is lurking in space , sending probes dubbed "dandelion seeds" out to explore planets, including Earth. The claim presents a possible explanation for a set of unexplained phenomena: 'Oumuamua and IM2.

China plans to use parachutes to control its rocket debris problem | Space
Falling rocket boosters from Chinese orbital launches from inland launch centers have caused issues in recent years as the country ramps up its space activities.
The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), which makes the country's Long March rockets, is now close to finalizing the design of parachutes and related subsystems to bring rocket boosters down much more accurately.

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), the country's main space contractor, stated in early March that the new Long March 5B and upper stage configuration would be used to launch satellites for a LEO satellite network.
In November 2022, Google revealed the existence of a then-unknown spyware vendor called Variston. Now, Google researchers say they have seen hackers use Variston's tools in the United Arab Emirates.
"The actor using the exploit chain to target UAE users may be a customer or partner of Variston, or otherwise working closely with the spyware vendor," the blog post read.

Google also discovered hackers exploiting an iOS zero-day bug, patched in November, to remotely plant spyware on users' devices.
Google also observed hackers exploiting a chain of three Android bugs targeting devices running an ARM-based graphics chip, including one zero-day.
The discovery of these new hacking campaigns is a reminder that the commercial spyware industry continues to thrive, says Google. Even smaller surveillance vendors have access to zero-days, and vendors stockpiling and using zero-day vulnerabilities in secret pose a severe risk to the internet.
Spyware campaigns using zero-days found in Italy, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, UAE
One campaign targeted people in Italy, Malaysia and Kazakhstan, while the other operated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the researchers said.
Google called the campaigns "distinct, limited and highly targeted." The company did not specify the source of the spyware in either case, but said the incidents speak to the size of the marketplace for surveillance tools.

An asteroid called Didymos recently had a close encounter with a spacecraft.
Researchers made the discovery soon after NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft brought Didymos into the spotlight.
The explosive visit also gave scientists an up-close peek at both asteroids, and DART will be followed by a thorough investigation of the binary asteroid system by the European Space Agency’s Hera mission.

“Asteroid City” looks pretty great from this trailer, which just dropped from Focus Features.
Wes Anderson is in a return to tongue in cheek form, very dry humor, as he sends up space movies, aliens, and a kind of stylized 50s culture. It’s set in a desert, filmed in Spain. There are nearly two dozen stars.

A rocky planet that circles a small star nearly 40 light-years from Earth is hot and has little or no atmosphere, a new study suggests. The finding raises questions about the possibility of atmospheres on the other orbs in the planetary system.
At the center of the system is the red dwarf star dubbed TRAPPIST-1; it hosts seven known planets with masses ranging from 0.3 to 1.4 times Earth's , a few of which could hold liquid water ( SN: 2/22/17; 3/19/18 ).

The study also marks the first detection of any form of light emitted by an exoplanet as small, and as cool as, the rocky planets in our own solar system.
"These observations really take advantage of Webb's mid-infrared capability. No previous telescopes have had the sensitivity to measure such dim mid-infrared light," study co-author Thomas Greene said.

JWST finds the planet TRAPPIST-1b may not have an atmosphere
The James Webb Telescope (JWST) has searched one of the well-known TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets for an atmosphere, and it didn't find anything.
The TRAPPIST-1 system consists of a red dwarf star with at least seven planets orbiting it, four of which orbit in the habitable zone – the area around a star where temperatures allow for liquid water.
Despite light detection, James Webb telescope finds no atmosphere on planet
March 27 (UPI) -- Scientists observing the universe through NASA's James Webb telescope said they made a breakthrough in the detection of light from a so-called exoplanet but were disappointed the Earth-like entity has no evidence of an atmosphere.
Since early 2017, scientists have been looking at seven rocky planets orbiting a dwarf star some 40 light years from our own planet. Looking at just one of those -- Trappist-1 b -- an international team was able to find infrared light emanating from the entity.

New technologies are gracing the industrial sector on a daily basis. Many factories and plant manufacturing companies are automating their operations with robotic solutions. One incredible technology you may need to be well-acquainted with is palletizing.
It refers to the operation of loading an object on a pallet or similar device. Over the years, manual hand loading has been employed to organize products into pallet loads for distribution and storage.

Details: Digit, which is built to work alongside humans, can lift and move plastic bins in a warehouse or distribution center.
How it works: Digit is designed to pull plastic bins called "totes" from a warehouse wall and move them wherever they need to go, taking up the same footprint as a human.
How Can AI Help Socially Intelligent Robots Flourish?
In artificial intelligence and robotics, social intelligence in robots is a relatively recent development.
Researchers are aiming for more fundamental but also more biologically and developmentally plausible milestones in sensorimotor skills that emphasize the embodied nature of human intelligence.
Threat level: It seems clear that automation will continue to erode certain jobs, as it has already done in the manufacturing realm.
What they're saying: Automation "could increase productivity while reducing wages and employment," says Daron Acemoglu, a professor and labor economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Robots Using Legs as Arms to Climb and Push Buttons - IEEE Spectrum
We've gotten used to thinking of quadrupedal robots as robotic versions of dogs. And, to be fair, it's right there in the word "quadrupedal.
Roboticists at CMU and UC Berkeley are training robot dogs to use their legs for manipulation , not just locomotion, demonstrating skills that include climbing walls, pressing buttons, and even kicking a soccer ball.
By Francis Reddy, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center March 29, 2023 Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the cosmos.
On Sunday, October 9, 2022, a pulse of intense radiation swept through the solar system so exceptional that astronomers quickly dubbed it the BOAT – the brightest of all time. The source was a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the most powerful class of explosions in the universe.

Earth-Sized Planet In 'Solar System 2.0' Has No Atmosphere, Says Webb Telescope
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have done something incredible by measuring the temperature of rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1b.
Astronomers are desperate to explore smaller, rockier and more Earth-like planets such as those in the TRAPPIST-1 system, where seven rocky planets orbit a red dwarf (M) star about 40 light years distant in the constellation Aquarius.
