Interference to astronomy the unintended consequence of faster internet
Curtin University researchers have undertaken the world's biggest survey of low frequency satellite radio emissions, finding Starlink satellites are significantly interfering with radio astronomy observations, potentially impacting discovery and research.
Unintended signals from satellites - leaked from onboard electronics - can drown out the faint radio waves astronomers use to study the Earth from Space: Kuwaiti waters

Moon erosion by solar wind far weaker than previously believed
The surface of the Moon is constantly exposed to the solar wind-a stream of charged particles from the Sun that can dislodge atoms from the lunar surface and contribute to its thin exosphere. However, a new study by Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and international collaborators reveals that earlier models greatly overestimated this sputtering effect.
The researchers attribute th Flash frozen silicon reveals patterns mirroring early universe dynamics
A team of physicists from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), University of Duisburg-Essen, and University of Alberta has discovered that ultra-fast cooling of silicon surfaces produces structural patterns that echo the cosmic phase transitions theorized to have occurred shortly after the Big Bang. Their study shows that the rate at which silicon cools drastically influences how atoms a Using soft X-rays to track magnetic reconnection may advance space weather forecasting
A research team from Chiba University has demonstrated how soft X-ray imaging could be used to monitor magnetic reconnection rates in Earth's magnetosphere-a critical development in improving space weather forecasting. Magnetic reconnection, a process where solar wind penetrates Earth's magnetic barrier, can disrupt satellite operations and communication systems.
