Black Hole Hunters - A citizen science search for black hole self-lensing
Tuesday, 12 July 2022 10:21
A research team from the Open University and the University of Southampton is asking for the public's help to find some of the most mysterious, elusive objects in the Universe - black holes. By examining data from the SuperWASP survey, the UK's leading extra-solar planet detection programme, the team hope to detect changes in starlight that may provide evidence for the existence of these black h Can FAST Detect Auroras on Brown Dwarfs

Brown dwarfs are known as "failed stars", owing to the lack of central hydrogen burning. They bridge the gap between planets and stars. Some brown dwarfs are found to maintain kilogauss magnetic fields and produce flaring radio emissions, similar to aurora on magnetized planets in solar system, arousing astronomers' curiosities about their field properties and dynamos.
Radio emissions from Tech firms unveil plan for 'space-based' 5G network
Tuesday, 12 July 2022 10:21
Thales, Qualcomm and Ericsson unveiled Monday a plan to allow smartphones to communicate directly with satellites, a "space-based network" they hope will bring connectivity to the entire globe.
The three firms envisage launching hundreds of satellites with 5G capabilities to bring coverage to "extreme geographies or remote areas across seas".
