The plan is to dispatch a swarm of satellites in the lower Earth orbit to stop Elon Musk from monopolizing the low-Earth orbit space, claims a report.

China allegedly plans to deploy a swarm of satellites in low Earth orbit to compete with Elon Musk’s Starlink and offer internet services, an alternative to people worldwide.

The plan to dispatch almost 13,000 satellites to throttle Starlink exposure comes under the mysterious project, code name “GW,” according to People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) space engineering researchers.

Astronomers detected a supermassive black hole only 750 million years after the Big Bang.

Astronomers discovered a rapidly growing black hole in one of the most extreme galaxies from the early universe. Scientists from the University of Texas and the University of Arizona detected the colossal giant using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) radio observatory in Chile.

Their observations shed new light on the formation of the earliest supermassive black holes and their role in early galaxies.

The Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team at Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has introduced a new “state-of-the-art” artificial intelligence (AI) language model called Large Language Model Meta AI (LLaMA).

The model will be made accessible to researchers, and is anticipated to aid scientists and engineers as they investigate new uses of AI, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Friday.

Astronomers have found the first evidence of the collision course in two dwarf galaxies that are 760 million and 3.2 billion light-years away from Earth.

In a recent astronomical find, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.

Far out of reach, two sets of dwarf galaxies have recently come together to join in an astronomical dance. One pair resides 760 million light-years away from us here on Earth, while the other is a majestic 3.2 billion light-years distant in the Abell 1758S cluster.

Over half of the studied companies in the United States have deployed OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot, according to a recent study.

And nearly half of these businesses disclosed that ChatGPT had already replaced a number of their employees, claimed the survey done by Resumebuilder.com, involving 1,000 business leaders.

This new technology is still in its early stages in the workplace, “workers need to surely be thinking of how it may affect the responsibilities of their current job,” said Stacie Haller, Chief Career Advisor at Resumebuilder.com.

Costing tens of thousands of dollars, these robots were clearing tables and keeping cafeterias clean.

If human workers have been complaining about robots taking over their jobs, the macroeconomic situation has now put robots out of work.

Over a hundred robots at Google’s parent company, Alphabet, have allegedly been fired after the team maintaining them was shut down, Wired reported.

After a dip in advertisement revenues last year, Google’s Alphabet is preparing for the worse by firing expensive robots. Over a hundred robots have already been fired after the team maintaining them was shut down.

There is no “blanket of stars.” The night sky we all see has infinite depth. From Earth at night with naked eyes we mostly see the stars of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, but beyond is the entire universe. Using powerful telescopes it can be navigated and known. All you need is a map—and they keep getting better.

This week saw the release of the largest two-dimensional map of the sky ever made. It comes from the tenth data release from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, a six-year survey of nearly half the sky using telescopes at Kitt Peak in Arizona and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

The Legacy Surveys— which can be explored online —is designed to create the most comprehensive map of the sky possible to help astronomers understand how the universe has expanded over the last 12 billion years. That’s critical to understanding “dark energy,” an unknown force that appears to be accelerating the universe’s expansion.

A pair of worlds that are just around the corner in cosmic terms look to be in the right spot to potentially host life as we know it.

A report in the February issue of the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics details the discovery of two exoplanets the orbit the red M-dwarf star GJ (or Gliese) 1002 in its habitable zone and are not far off from the mass of Earth.

These two characteristics top the list of things that make another planet worth getting excited about in terms of the odds it might have some sort of critters or even just primitive microorganisms hanging out.
