Astronomers at the University of Sydney have shown that a small, faint star is the coldest on record to produce emission at radio wavelength.
The ‘ultracool brown dwarf’ examined in the study is a ball of gas simmering at about 425 degrees centigrade—cooler than a typical campfire—without burning nuclear fuel.
By contrast, the surface temperature of the sun, a nuclear inferno, is about 5,600 degrees.
The new projects will have a focus on disadvantaged communities.
The Biden administration announced Friday it will invest $20 billion from the federal “green bank” for clean energy projects in the region. This is according to a report by ABC News.
The money will come from two programs and will supply competitive grants to nonprofits, community development banks and other groups to invest in clean energy projects. Both funds will have a focus on disadvantaged communities.

Chinese space tech company LandSpace is gearing up to launch its revolutionary methane-propelled rocket, the Zhuque-2 (ZQ 2), for the second time sometime this year. Scheduled to blast off from the company’s launch facility in the Gobi Desert, the mission will deliver a satellite into space. LandSpace, widely considered China’s answer to SpaceX, the launch is hoped to cement further the utility of using methane as a reliable next generation of rocket fuel.
In December, the ZQ 2 rocket undertook its maiden flight at the Jiuquan center. The rocket successfully… More.
