We remind you that the disaster occurred last Tuesday. Then a sad entry appeared on the Twitter profile of the American National Science Foundation (NSF), to which the Arecibo Observatory belongs. A 900-ton receiver platform, which hung 150 meters on it, fell onto the radio telescope's dish. The canopy was seriously damaged. Scientists have announced that the facility will not be rebuilt.
Originally, the launch was supposed to take place on November 15, but it was postponed by 24 hours due to unfavorable weather in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The SpaceX barge, Just Read The Instruction, had problems reaching the designated location where the first Falcon-9 rocket would try to land on it. We now know that this maneuver has been successfully completed.

Astronomers at Ohio State University have conducted extensive studies of various parts of the deep space. Their aim was to find out how the temperature of gas clouds has changed over the years. The research results surprised the scientists a lot and made them think.
Recently, this moon has been keeping astrobiologists awake at night due to the discovery of molecular traces of hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and oxygen there, as well as hydrothermal processes. All of this is a strong indication of the possibility of life there, functioning under a several-kilometer-long ice crust, at the bottom of a great and deep ocean.
A few days ago, a satellite called Star Era-12 was in orbit. He was carried there by the Long March 6 rocket from the Taiyuan space facility. Scientists from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China are behind the entire project. On board the satellite are test devices that will be used to conduct the first experiments with the network of the future.
The American film company has built an extremely realistic robot. It is even safe to say that it is currently a humanoid with the most realistic facial expressions in the world. His facial movements are almost such a faithful human copy that you may feel quite uncomfortable.
In spring this year, this vehicle became the fastest autonomous vehicle in the world. The Robocar accelerated at the Elvington Airfield track in Great Britain to a dizzying speed of 281 km / h. He entered this historic feat in the Guinness Book of World Records. Roborace engineers have yet to say the last word.
One of the biggest challenges for astronauts going to the moon will be the talc-like regolith that covers most of our natural satellite's surface. This is the result of millions of years of operation of micrometeorites (i.e. meteorites less than 0.1 mm in diameter) and solar radiation, which in effect is very different from its Earth counterpart. This one is subject to erosion that smoothes the particles, while lunar particles are still razor-sharp and abrasive, and worse still electrostatic, so they stick to virtually all surfaces and have nasty chemical properties.
Modern data processing is digital, based on two states, zero one or on / off, while analog computers have many possible states - it's like the difference between turning the world on and off and using a dimmer that allows many different degrees of light. Neuromorphic, or brain-inspired engineering, has been the subject of research for over 40 years, but is only now starting to come to the fore as we are starting to hit the limits in digital processing and we increasingly need fast image processing, for example for autonomous cars. \"We have powerful computers, no doubt, but the problem is we have to store the memory in one place and process it in another,\" explains Saptarshi Das, a Penn State professor.
