Nigeria becomes the first country in Africa to have access to SpaceX Starlink, Engineer is ‘pretty impressed’ by the high-speed internet service
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in categories: economics, internet, satellites
SpaceX Starlink Internet service will soon be available across the West African country of Nigeria, according to Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Isa Ali Pantami. SpaceX already delivered some Starlink user terminals to the country to commence services. “As part of the partnership, SpaceX is to provide broadband access across the whole of Nigeria, enabling nationwide access to broadband connectivity way ahead of the December 2025 schedule, as outlined in our national broadband plan,” said Pantami. “With this collaboration with SpaceX’s Starlink, Nigeria is set to be the first African country to introduce the service.” Nigeria’s goals was to cover 90% of the country’s population with reliable internet access by 2025, the goal is now attainable because the Starlink satellite network is easy to set up and capable of beaming high-speed internet to rural and remote communities. SpaceX’s official Starlink Coverage Map says the service is ‘coming soon’ to Nigeria, users must input their address on the website to find out if its already available in their specific area.

The company sent an email to potential customers living in Nigeria, stating that the service is available for pre-order. “Order now to reserve your Starlink expects to expand service in your area [Nigeria] in 2023. You will receive a notification once your Starlink is ready to ship,” the email says. The hardware to access the satellite internet service costs $600 [N438,000] in Nigeria with an internet subscription of $43 [N31,390] per month.

Consumer Health: Do you know the symptoms of glaucoma?
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, health
January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, which makes this a good time to learn more about treating this group of eye conditions.
About 3 million people in the U.S. have glaucoma, and it’s the second-leading cause of blindness worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to abnormally high pressure in your eye. Elevated eye pressure is due to a buildup of the fluid that flows throughout the inside of your eye. When this fluid is overproduced or the drainage system doesn’t work properly, the fluid can’t flow out at its normal rate and eye pressure increases.

Scientists Have Decrypted the “Mechanical Code” of DNA
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
An international team of researchers, led by Durham University in the UK, has uncovered previously unknown ways in which nature encodes biological information in a DNA
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule composed of two long strands of nucleotides that coil around each other to form a double helix. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms that carries genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Big Bang may have created’mirror universe’ where time runs backwards
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: cosmology, physics
In November 2018, three physicists from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, offered an unusual idea: from the Big Bang not only the Universe we know but also ‘its mirror image’ created.
Twin spiral galaxies and stars in space. NASA provided picture elements. A universe that extends backward in time. From our perspective, the Universe “after the Big Bang” moves… backwards.
The physicists Latham Boyle, Keran Finn, and Neil Turok suggested in a Physical Review Letters article that the Universe we live in is merely a fragment of the true Universe and that if so, dark matter and inflation would no longer make sense.
