This week’s science news has taken us in a time machine, from the discovery of a 506 million-year-old fossil of a bizarre “sea monster” that breathed through its butt to the death of the universe (which is coming a lot sooner than scientists once thought …relatively speaking). But in the present day, our home star

Virtus Solis wants to group satellites into massive arrays—100,000 satellites for 100MW—allowing for a highly scalable energy platform. Arrays can grow to 20 Gigawatt or more. Virtus Solis and Silicon Valley startup Orbital Composites are preparing to begin robotic assembly of hexagonal photovoltaic tiles — essentially solar panels — in a medium Earth Molniya orbit

For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that the region will need to add 100,000km of new transmission lines by 2030 to meet rising energy demand, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, but ASEAN countries are currently on track to add less than half of that by the end of the decade. Indonesia leads

Solar flares are known for their influence beyond their point of origin. They emit powerful bursts of radiation that can interfere with radio communications, disrupt power grids, scramble navigation signals, and pose risks to astronauts and spacecraft operating beyond Earths protective atmosphere. While our planets magnetic field protects against most solar radiation, powerful eruptions can

Solar storms batter Earth every year, creating the occasional aurora and sometimes even paralyzing power grids. But these common phenomena pale in comparison to a monstrous event that inundated the planet with particles from the Sun around 14,300 years ago, identified as the strongest solar storm ever recorded in a recent study. The study ,
