Earth’s largest-ever solar storm discovered through tree rings https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/earths-largest-ever-solar-storm-discovered-through-tree-rings https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/earths-largest-ever-solar-storm-discovered-through-tree-rings#respond Mon, 09 Oct 2023 14:27:14 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/earths-largest-ever-solar-storm-discovered-through-tree-rings

An international team of researchers has uncovered evidence of the largest solar storm ever identified by studying ancient tree rings.

The evidence points to a colossal spike in radiocarbon levels from 14,300 years ago, found in tree rings from the French Alps.

The colossal storm discovered by the scientists originated from the Sun and was so powerful that a similar event would be catastrophic with modern technology.

SpaceX to launch 22 Starlink satellites on Oct. 9 https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/spacex-to-launch-22-starlink-satellites-on-oct-9 https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/spacex-to-launch-22-starlink-satellites-on-oct-9#respond Mon, 09 Oct 2023 11:22:21 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/spacex-to-launch-22-starlink-satellites-on-oct-9

SpaceX is set to launch 22 more of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida on Monday night (Oct. 9).

The Starlink spacecraft are scheduled to lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Monday at 8:42 p.m. EDT (0042 GMT on Oct. 10). Four backup opportunities are available as well, from 9:32 p.m. EDT until 12:10 a.m. EDT (0132 to 410 GMT on Oct. 10).

Ross Perot Jr. described the STEM education event as a “first-of-its-kind” across the country. The event comes days before Pres. Bush, Gov. Abbott, several Republican presidential candidates and executives from Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart and more gather at mobility summit.

Researchers catch protons in the act of dissociation with ultrafast ‘electron camera’ https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/researchers-catch-protons-in-the-act-of-dissociation-with-ultrafast-electron-camera https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/researchers-catch-protons-in-the-act-of-dissociation-with-ultrafast-electron-camera#respond Sun, 08 Oct 2023 17:33:26 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/researchers-catch-protons-in-the-act-of-dissociation-with-ultrafast-electron-camera

Scientists have caught fast-moving hydrogen atoms—the keys to countless biological and chemical reactions—in action.

A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University used ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) to record the motion of hydrogen atoms within ammonia molecules. Others had theorized they could track hydrogen atoms with electron diffraction, but until now nobody had done the experiment successfully.

The results, published in Physical Review Letters, leverage the strengths of high-energy Megaelectronvolt (MeV) electrons for studying hydrogen atoms and proton transfers, in which the singular proton that makes up the nucleus of a hydrogen atom moves from one molecule to another.

Scientists untangle mystery about the universe’s earliest galaxies https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/scientists-untangle-mystery-about-the-universes-earliest-galaxies https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/scientists-untangle-mystery-about-the-universes-earliest-galaxies#respond Sun, 08 Oct 2023 17:33:15 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/scientists-untangle-mystery-about-the-universes-earliest-galaxies

WASHINGTON, Oct 6 (Reuters) — Since beginning operations last year, the James Webb Space Telescope has provided an astonishing glimpse of the early history of our universe, spotting a collection of galaxies dating to the enigmatic epoch called cosmic dawn.

But the existence of what appear to be massive and mature galaxies during the universe’s infancy defied expectations — too big and too soon. That left scientists scrambling for an explanation while questioning the basic tenets of cosmology, the science of the origin and development of the universe. A new study may resolve the mystery without ripping up the textbooks.

The researchers used sophisticated computer simulations to model how the earliest galaxies evolved. These indicated that star formation unfolded differently in these galaxies in the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang event 13.8 billion years ago that initiated the universe than it does in large galaxies like our Milky Way populating the cosmos today.

Tesla stacks massive supply of Cybertruck castings hinting production is near https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/tesla-stacks-massive-supply-of-cybertruck-castings-hinting-production-is-near https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/tesla-stacks-massive-supply-of-cybertruck-castings-hinting-production-is-near#respond Sat, 07 Oct 2023 00:22:28 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/10/tesla-stacks-massive-supply-of-cybertruck-castings-hinting-production-is-near

Tesla is stacking a massive supply of Cybertruck castings at Gigafactory Texas, hinting the production is near, which means deliveries aren’t far behind either.

Tesla Cybertruck production has been nearing for months as the company has shown early-stage validation, public road testing, crash assessments, and some of the best-built Cybertruck units, all within the past few months.

Production is obviously getting close, especially when we base this thought on the fact that public-road testing of RC-labeled, or release candidate, Cybertrucks have been spotted throughout the country over the past month and a half.
