Bezos's Blue Origin makes 5th crewed flight into space
Jeff Bezos's company Blue Origin flew six tourists into space for a 10-minute ride Saturday, successfully carrying out its fifth crewed mission.
The white spacecraft called New Shepard lifted off with a roar from a desert spot in west Texas at 8:26 local time (1326 GMT).
The crew hooted with glee as the rocket reached space, a Blue Origin webcast showed.
The flight included engineer Katya Echazarreta, who at 26 became the youngest American woman in space. The Guadalajara native also became the first Mexican-born woman to go into space.

The consequences of climate change in the Alps are visible from space
Basel, Switzerland (SPX) Jun 03, 2022
Global warming has a particularly pronounced impact on the Alpine region. Like the Arctic, this European mountain range is becoming greener. Writing in the journal Science, researchers from the University of Lausanne and the University of Basel have now used satellite data to show that vegetation above the tree line has increased in nearly 80% of the Alps. Snow cover is also decreasing, albeit s

China's newly-launched meteorological satellites put into trial operation
Beijing, China (SPX) Jun 03, 2022
Two meteorological satellites, along with their ground application systems, began trial operation on Monday, said the China Meteorological Administration.
The two satellites, Fengyun-3E (FY-3E) and Fengyun-4B (FY-4B), will provide observation data and application services to global users.
The FY-3E, launched on July 5, 2021, was the world's first meteorological satellite in early mor

China launches nine Geely-01 satellites
Xichang (XNA) Jun 03, 2022
China on Thursday launched a Long March-2C carrier rocket to place a group of nine commercial satellites in space.
The Geely-01 constellation consisting of nine satellites were lifted at 12:00 p.m. (Beijing Time) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province and entered the preset orbit.

Algorithm simulates intergalactic medium of the Universe in seconds
Canary Islands, Spain (SPX) Jun 03, 2022
The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) has led the development of a new numerical procedure that allows to reproduce in a few seconds with Big Data and machine learning techniques the intergalactic medium obtained from a cosmological simulation of 100,000 hours of computation. Thanks to this algorithm, called Hydro-BAM, researchers have been able to exploit the hierarchy in the relations
