Allegedly, a Chinese satellite has been built that breaks all records and becomes a direct threat to Starlink due to its secret technology. Scientists from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences were observed testing a satellite in geostationary orbit, approximately 36,000km above Earth. The threat to Starlink comes from the fact that the satellite is allegedly very high-tech, …

The birth of an island is normally a process that requires the movement of vast tectonic plates over centuries, if not millennia. But in Alaska, a new island has popped up in just four decades. The two-square-mile (five sq km) landmass, known as Prow Knob, was once entirely surrounded by the deep ice of the Alsek Glacier. But NASA has revealed …

In some places, it’s transforming once-lush environments into barren deserts; in others, it’s doing essentially the opposite – albeit through an irony-fueled, monkey’s paw kind of interpretation of “re-green the Earth’s deserts”. Now, a new set of photos from NASA has laid bare a striking example of the latter effect – and it’s right …

One of SpaceX’s broadband-beaming Starlink satellites has been captured overflying a top-secret airbase in China that was photographed by a private American Earth-observation satellite. The unexpected satellite alignment above the Dingxin Airbase in the Gobi Desert of western China took place on Aug. 21 and created a range of unusual effects in the high-resolution image. The visible-light photo, taken by …
