Cybersecurity researchers reported a significant rise in GPS spoofing incidents targeting commercial airliners, particularly near conflict zones. Unauthorized systems broadcast false positions, leading to disruptions, including the manipulation of aircraft clocks. In one instance, a plane's clocks advanced by years, disabling its communication systems and grounding it for weeks. While not directly causing crashes, these incidents could lead to serious complications.from Science News - Times of India https://ift.tt/O40tNuj
They'll be so close Wednesday, at least from our perspective, that just a sliver of moon could fit between them. In reality, our solar system's biggest planet and its dimmer, reddish neighbor will be more than 350 million miles (575 million kilometers) apart in their respective orbits.
Over the past century, light pollution has drastically dimmed the visibility of the Milky Way for nearly 3 billion people. Poorly designed and unnecessary lighting from various sources like streetlights and billboards contributes to this issue. Efforts involving dimming, shielding lights, and using warm-colored bulbs can help reduce light pollution and restore our night skies.
Scientists proposed to introduce engineered nanoparticles into Mars' atmosphere to raise its temperature by 50 degrees Fahrenheit over ten years. These particles would enhance the natural greenhouse effect. The researchers believe warming Mars' atmosphere is a crucial step despite the planet's harsh conditions. They also stress the importance of studying potential unintended consequences, including the possibility of past or present life on Mars.
