As if it wasn't demanding enough managing your core network components out in space, there are also extreme on-the-ground challenges for a satellite operator like OneWeb. Th New microscopic organisms found in deep sea trench baffle Chile scientists
When Chilean scientist Osvaldo Ulloa led an expedition 8,000 meters under the sea to an area where no human had ever been, his team discovered microscopic organisms that generated more questions than answers.
The January submarine expedition dove into the Atacama Trench, created by the meeting of two tectonic plates in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Our Monday drive was successful, and we are now fully surrounded by the rocks that cap the Greenheugh pediment. From here we can see hundreds of ventifacts - a term that describes rocks which have been abraded by wind-blown sand into distinctive, flattened facets with crisp edges. This terrain is very different from what we've become used to seeing during our climb up Mt. Sharp!

Lunar swirl patterns and topography are related, study finds
Bright and dark swirling patterns on the Moon's surface have been linked to the topography of the swirls, says a new paper by a team of scientists from the Planetary Science Institute.
"This is the first time there has been a demonstrated correlation between the swirl albedo patterns and topography," said PSI Senior Scientist Deborah Domingue, lead author of "Topographic Correlations within Lunar Swirls in Mare Ingenii" that appears in Geophysical Research Letters.
