Federal immigration authorities previously released two illegal immigrants who are now accused of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl — but a congressional report says there were plenty of detention beds available to keep in custody. The
Houston Police Department last week arrested Franklin Joe Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, 22, both Venezuelan nationals, for the strangulation killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, several days after her body was found in a local creek. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that both men were released into the country on the same day they unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, but...

Nasa has selected Elon Musk's SpaceX company to bring down the International Space Station at the end of its life. The
California-based company will build a vehicle capable of pushing the 430-tonne orbiting platform into the Pacific Ocean early in the next decade. A contract for the work, valued at up to $843m (£668m), was announced on Wednesday. "Selecting a US De-orbit Vehicle for the International Space Station (ISS) will help Nasa and its international partners ensure a safe and responsible transition in low Earth orbit at the end of station operations. This decision also supports Nasa's plans for future...

| June 26, 2024 | Paul Serran
Two NASA scientists are currently stranded in orbit aboard the International Space Station, due to multiple helium leaks in the Boeing Starliner that should have brought them back to Earth 13 days ago. Now
speculation arises that rival company SpaceX may be called upon to rescue Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. The Astronauts’ mission on the Starliner was launched on June 5, and they were only to remain at the ISS for nine days. Now, troubles with the spaceship mean that their return date is still uncertain, as NASA scrambles ‘furiously’ to solve the problem. New York Post reported: “Boeing-rival...

Dyson and Mike Barratt were supposed to go on a spacewalk on Monday, June 24 – but a fault led to the expected 6-and-a-half-hour walk being cut down to just 31 minutes. There was a water leak from the service and cooling umbilical unit on Dyson’s spacesuit that was described on the live stream by Dyson as spreading water "everywhere" in the airlock. The pair had already switched to...

| June 25, 2024 | Laura Bicker & Kelly Ng, in Beijing and Singapore
China's lunar probe has returned to Earth with the first ever samples from the Moon's unexplored far side. The
Chang'e-6 landed in the Inner Mongolia desert on Tuesday, after a nearly two-month long mission which was fraught with risks. Scientists are eagerly awaiting the Chang’e-6 as the samples could answer key questions about how planets are formed. China is the only country to have landed on the far side of the Moon, having done so before in 2019. The far side - which faces away from Earth - is technically challenging to reach due to its distance, and its difficult...

| June 24, 2024 | Micah Hanks
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured striking new images of the Serpens Nebula that reveal a rare alignment of stellar jets, offering new insights into the formation of stars. Protostellar
outflows occur when high-speed jets of hot gas produced by young stars collide with surrounding dust and gases. In the new Webb images, several outflows spotted in the northern area of the Serpens Nebula appear to all be aligned and oriented in the same direction. Located around 1,300 light-years from Earth, the Serpens Nebula is a dense cluster of young stars, some of which are only about 100,000 years...

(Credit: KyotoU/Gakuji Tobiyama) In May 2023, researchers at Kyoto University and the Japanese-based wood manufacturing company Sumitomo Forestry unveiled the world’s first wooden satellite, breaking new ground in space technology. Called
the LignoSat, this small cube (around 10 centimeters, or 3 inches) contains solar panels and circuit boards built into its wooden sides. These panels contain special fittings that don’t require adhesive but allow the sides to interlock into place using traditional Japanese wood-carving techniques. The project began slowly in 2020. Since its unveiling, the satellite has been transferred from its research facility to JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), where...

For both military and civilian applications, launching satellites into orbit has long been both useful and incredibly expensive. But
over the last decade, the costs to put payload into orbit have shrunk dramatically, driven by launchers like the SpaceX Falcon 9 & Falcon Heavy while the number of satellites in orbit has exploded. And now, with tests proceeding with the two-stage Starship super-heavy, it may be that even cheaper access to space is on the horizon. In this episode we explore why demand for orbital assets is increasing, how the US retook top spot in the Space Race, and what...

expanded by 272,000 for the month, up from 165,000 in April and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 190,000, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.And, not breaking the trend, there were downward revisions yet again to previous months' job numbers....Previous months’ reports...

A strange intermittent radio signal from space has astronomers puzzled
|
| |
The Conversation ^
| June 05, 2024 | Staff
When astronomers turn our radio telescopes out towards space, we sometimes detect sporadic bursts of radio waves originating from across the vast expanse of the universe. We
call them “radio transients”: some erupt only once, never to be seen again, and others flicker on and off in predictable patterns. We think most radio transients come from rotating neutron stars known as pulsars, which emit regular flashes of radio waves, like cosmic lighthouses. Typically, these neutron stars spin at incredible speeds, taking mere seconds or even a fraction of a second to complete each rotation. Recently, we discovered a radio transient...
