Global warming, fueled by human activities, has led to rising average temperatures across the globe. However, Greenland is experiencing warming at a rate faster than the global average, causing its ice sheets to melt more rapidly. This phenomenon, known as Arctic Amplification, could significantly raise sea levels, threatening coastal regions and ecosystems worldwide. Understanding the factors d

It takes a long time for supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, to form. Typically, the birth of a black hole requires a giant star with the mass of at least 50 of our suns to burn out - a process that can take a billion years - and its core to collapse in on itself.

SpaceX cleared to fly Falcon 9 rocket after landing mishap
Saturday, 31 August 2024 05:42 Write a comment
US regulators on Friday cleared SpaceX to restart launching its stalwart Falcon 9 rocket, as a probe continues into a rare mishap this week during a first-stage booster landing.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the Falcon 9 rocket on Wednesday after a first-stage booster tipped over and exploded while attempting to land on a droneship off the Florida coast.
The early morning launch was otherwise successful, delivering the latest batch of 21 Starlink internet satellites into orbit.
"The SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle may return to flight operations while the overall investigation of the anomaly during the Starlink Group 8-6 mission remains open, provided all other license requirements are met," the FAA said in a statement Friday.
A webcast from Elon Musk's company showed the first stage, which normally fires its thrusters to achieve a precise upright landing, tilting and blowing up as it descended onto a droneship off the Florida coast.
Although landing the booster is a secondary objective, and no lives or public property were at risk, the reusability of the entire rocket system is crucial to SpaceX's business model.
