Pluto is not the edge of our solar system, in fact, past Pluto, there is theKieper Belt, and past this is theOort Cloud. The Oort cloud is a spherical layer of icy objects surrounding our entire solar system. If you could travel at the speed of light, it would take you 1.87 years ...
This space rock is also the fastest-moving known asteroid that passes us this year. While most asteroids just 'coast' on by, travelling at less than 10 kilometres per second, 2001 FO32 will streak past at over three times that speed — 34.4 km/s. That's...
Another new machine called the "da Vinci Surgical System" has been tested in hospitals in the US-Unlike keyhole surgery, this robot's moving parts are designed to copy man's hand and wrist movement, thus providing better control and sensitivity. Sitting at a console (控制台) a few feet fr...
We know from NASA that the planet is increasingly warming, with peak values found at 1.81 watts per square metre in 2023. Taking the entire Earth’s surface into account that means the extra warming since pre-industrial times is equivalent to ...
In the time it takes you to blink your eyes, these spiders—when moving full speed—can complete three full rotations. Their spin is the fastest leg-driven turning maneuver of any terrestrial animal, and also one of the fastest turns on the planet—on par with quick airborne spinners like ...
Anyone will know just from flying a kite that there is great power in the moving air. That's fine if you are working with the airflow but with Bloodhound we will be trying to push against it faster than the speed of sound. Pushing an object through the air creates a tremendous amount...
