The Long March 5B, a 22-ton Chinese rocket, crashed back to Earth this weekend. Where will it land?

When you are asked, “What is it?” this weekend, here’s your answer: Long March 5B, a 44,000-pound rocket body spinning toward Earth. But scientists aren’t sure when and where this debris is — from the Chinese launch last Sunday Wentian space station module — about to land. The Aerospace Corporation did release the latest prediction path for the debris – with the disclaimer that it’s too early to be sure. Experts believe that 20 percent to 40 percent of the massive rocket’s body mass will survive its fiery journey through Earth’s atmosphere to the planet’s surface, but not intact. Seventy percent of the planet is covered in oceans, so the odds are that whatever remains of the rocket will land in water, but that’s not guaranteed. Shrugging in response to the potential danger of the Long March 5B debris is nothing new.

A spectacle of three meteors will grace our skies this weekend

Image
Looking for something spectacular to brighten up a cold, dark winter night? Well, this weekend might just have something in store: not one, not two, but three meteor showers active at the same time—combining to provide a celestial fireworks display for most of the night. While the best nights to watch are Saturday evening, July 30, until dawn on Sunday morning, all three rains will be nearing their peak levels starting tonight. So you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch the show while avoiding bad weather or other commitments. Best of all, there will be a new moon, which means there won’t be a lot of glare ruining the show. What is a meteor shower? The solar system is full of debris left behind from the formation of the planets more than 4.5 billion years ago. Some of this debris – comets and asteroids – move in orbits that cross Earth’s path around the sun. Every time those comets and asteroids swing toward the sun, they release debris. For hundred...

Image
Splendor in the Grass co-founder Jess Ducrou said the decision to continue this year’s festival was not motivated by money, and organizers were “doing the best we could” under difficult conditions. Key points: Organizers have defended the decision to continue this year’s festival Jess Ducrou says customers can expect refunds for events canceled on Friday Today’s passengers struggle through the mud to get home Ms Ducrou promised the festival would “definitely” return in 2023 in an interview with Hack on Monday, after a tumultuous weekend in North Byron Parklands. The 2022 edition is dubbed “Splendour in the Mud” because the festival venue was flooded and turned to mud by heavy rains on Thursday night. This creates chaos for people arriving at campsites, who are forced to wait hours to get in or are forced to sleep in their cars. Friday’s main event was later canceled amid fears more rain could destroy the already drenched festiv...

Huge Black Hole Existed Before Universe's First Star (Weekend Feature)

Image
The discovery of black holes was the first collision of quantum gravity with general relativity. In 2019, astrophysicists at the University of Western Ontario discovered proof for the direct formation of black holes that need not arise from stellar remnants. The production of black holes in the early universe, which formed from massive seeds aided by the gravitational field immediately after the Big Bang, provided scientists with an explanation for what appeared to be extremely massive black hole anomalies at a very early stage in the history of our universe. Supermassive black holes formed very, very quickly in the early universe over a very, very short period of time and then suddenly, they stopped. Shantanu Basu and Arpan Das from the Western Department of Physics & Astronomy developed an explanation for the observed distribution of mass and luminosity of supermassive black holes, for which there was no scientific explanation before. They concluded that su...

Scotland beat Pumas to end historic weekend for northern hemisphere

Scotland’s emphatic 29-6 win over Argentina in Salta capped a historic day for the Northern Hemisphere side. Already flying high after the All Blacks, South Africa and Australia lost home tests on the same day for the first time in history, Scotland made a 4-0 win over the Rugby Championship side with away wins of their own. This leaves the series NZ-Ireland, South Africa-Wales, Australia-England and Argentina-Scotland all tied at 1-1 heading into what will be a very big weekend of draw decider next week. France, newly minted as the top-ranked team in the world, beat Japan 20-15 to close their series with a test to play, but have been disappointing in the last two weeks against Jamie Joseph’s far better side. As for the All Blacks, South Africa and Australia, it was also the third time in their history they had all lost on the same day at home or away. Scotland beat Argentina after the break to win their second test on Sunday (NZT) and send their series t...
