Public Institutions to Pay New Solar Power Tariff as FG Reveals Charges

The Federal Government is introducing a payment system for public institutions benefiting from its solar power projects. According to the government, the move will prevent the infrastructure from becoming unusable after huge amounts of public money have been spent on them. The new arrangement will require beneficiary institutions to pay a sustainability tariff for the

The Biggest Obstacle To This Offshore Solar Farm Isn’t Saltwater

The Biggest Obstacle To This Offshore Solar Farm Isn’t Saltwater

NewJadsada/Shutterstock For engineers looking to set up solar farms in the ocean, there are plenty of hurdles to consider, from saltwater corrosion and rough seas to secure mooring and difficult maintenance. The humble barnacle can also prove a major challenge. Indeed, a solar farm set up in Singapore’s Johor Strait near the town of Woodlands

A black star in a false Spanish twilight: Here’s the story of my 1st total solar eclipse

(Image credit: Anthony Wood) I had never seen a total solar eclipse. That’s a strange thing to admit for the skywatching writer at Space.com, but the truth is that the opportunity had simply never come up. When it comes to eclipses, I’ve always been beguiled by their beauty from afar. I’ve always hoped to see

In 2000, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft mapped Jupiter’s moon Io’s volcanoes at temperatures above 1,000°C. 26 years later, the data still reveal one of the solar system’s strangest volcanic worlds

In 2000, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft mapped Jupiter’s moon Io’s volcanoes at temperatures above 1,000°C. 26 years later, the data still reveal one of the solar system’s strangest volcanic worlds

More than two decades after NASA’s Galileo spacecraft flew close to Jupiter’s moon Io, data from those encounters continue to reveal an extraordinary volcanic landscape. During three flybys in late 1999 and early 2000, Galileo’s near-infrared mapping spectrometer detected intense heat and identified different materials across Io’s surface. The instrument measured heat from lava while

Meteorite Samples Unveil Traces of Ancient Magnetic Field That May Have Helped Build the Solar System

Meteorite Samples Unveil Traces of Ancient Magnetic Field That May Have Helped Build the Solar System

After the Solar System formed around 4.6 billion years ago, it transformed from a spherical cloud of gas and dust into a flattened disk. The cloud’s collapse eventually brought forth the sun and the planets, giving the Solar System its defining shape. While gravity is often cited as the primary force driving this critical stage
