Ringworlds are a type of megastructure that engulf an entire star, first popularized in Larry Niven’s classic novel Ringworld. These constructs a million times larger than Earth have captivated minds for nearly half a century but been considered impossible to build under known science. Today, we will attempt to show otherwise.

The James Webb Space Telescope is the most powerful and complex observatory ever deployed. It will release its first images on July 12.

The cosmic images will be unprecedented.

A giant golden eye flying around the sun about a million miles from Earth will give humans an unprecedented view of the universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope, a powerful $10 billion observatory run by NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency, has chilled down to its optimal temperature. Engineers have finished calibrating its scientific instruments. Now the telescope with a 21-foot-diameter mirror is open for business.

Get ready for stunning astronomical photos and data, scientists say.

The first batch of photos, which have taken weeks to process from raw telescope data, are expected to offer a compelling glimpse at what Webb will capture on the science missions that lie ahead.

NASA on Friday posted a list of the five celestial subjects chosen for its showcase debut of Webb, built for the U.S. space agency by aerospace giant Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N).

Among them are two nebulae — enormous clouds of gas and dust blasted into space by stellar explosions that form nurseries for new stars — and two sets of galaxy clusters.

Programmers need a useful and reliable programming language to use for coding purposes to offer seamless applications. How many programmers do you know to use a weird coding language for applications? Yes, there are multiple weirdest programming languages for programmers with some of the unique features to be a coding language. The use of a weird coding language is not trending in multiple reputed tech companies, but the programming language is useful if programmers want to enhance their portfolios. Let’s dive into the top ten weirdest programming languages for programmers to use as a coding language in 2022 for seamless applications.

Whitespace is one of the top ten weirdest programming languages for programmers with a reference to whitespace characters. The coding language is an imperative stack-based language with only space, tabs, and linefeeds that have meaning. The code in the weird coding language is written as an IMP (Instruction Modification Parameter).

Befunge is a weird coding language as well as one of the oldest and most-famous 2-D coding languages. Befunge-93 is known for specifying multiple sets of commands with unusual syntax to create programmes. One of the weirdest programming languages processes the input string character-by-character. It uses a unique data model and instruction set to perform computations on a coordinate grid.

A research team from Japan plans to put a prototype of an artificial-gravity building on the Moon by 2050.

The lightly-packed surface of a near-Earth asteroid is cool and a little scary.
