☆ The battle of the face computers is on
  + stars: | 2024-10-04 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Meta debuted its Orion augmented reality glasses last week without a consumer release date. AR glasses are a substantial step toward a future that ditches the handheld smartphone for face computers. AdvertisementThe battle of the face computers is here, and Meta just launched a highly compelling salvo. Last Wednesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the company's latest innovation, Orion — augmented reality eyewear that weighs about 3.5 ounces. Snap's Spectacles are augmented reality glasses that run on the company's in-house OS.

☆ Orionid meteor shower: Keep an eye out for meteors in the sky this weekend

CNN —If you are looking for a spectacular show this weekend, look up to find the Orionid meteor shower shining bright through Saturday and Sunday night. This weekend, the moon will be in its first quarter phase and will set near midnight, according to the American Meteor Society. If possible, it is ideal to get away from light pollution and find a spot with a clear view of the dark sky, King said. In early May, Earth passes through a different section of Halley’s orbit trail, resulting in the meteor shower known as the Eta Aquariids. From 2006 to 2009, the Orionids saw anywhere between 50 to 75 meteors per hour, according to the American Meteor Society.

☆ NASA Seeks a Nuclear-Powered Rocket to Get to Mars in Half the Time

A Number That Sums It Up: 3 to 4 months to MarsWhat if a spacecraft could get to Mars in half the time it currently takes? Every 26 months or so, Mars and Earth are close enough for a shorter journey between the worlds. “The technical capabilities, including early safety protocols, remain viable today,” Tabitha Dodson, the DRACO project manager, said in a news briefing on Wednesday. A key difference between NERVA and DRACO is that NERVA used weapons-grade uranium for its reactors, while DRACO will use a less-enriched form of uranium. The demonstration spacecraft would most likely orbit at an altitude between 435 and 1,240 miles, Dr. Dodson said.

☆ Twinkle, twinkle fading stars: Hiding in our brighter skies
  + stars: | 2023-01-20 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
WASHINGTON — Every year, the night sky grows brighter, and the stars look dimmer. A new study that analyzes data from more than 50,000 amateur stargazers finds that artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10% brighter each year. “This is real pollution, affecting people and wildlife,” said Kyba, who said he hoped that policymakers would do more to curb light pollution. The study data from amateur stargazers in the nonprofit Globe at Night project was collected in a similar fashion. “The night sky has been, for all the generations before ours, a source of inspiration for art, science, literature,” he said.
☆ Artemis 1 mission: NASA's Orion spacecraft makes its closest approach to the moon
  + stars: | 2022-11-21 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —NASA’s Orion capsule passed about 80 miles (130 kilometers) above the lunar surface early Monday, a monumental achievement in the mission designed to test the US space agency’s ability to one day return astronauts to the moon. The Artemis I mission launched last Wednesday morning, when NASA’s beleaguered and long-delayed Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket vaulted the Orion capsule to space, cementing the rocket as the most powerful operational launch vehicle ever built. NASA's Orion spacecraft approaches its closest flyby of the moon during NASA's Artemis I mission. The path is meant to “stress test” the Orion capsule, as Michael Sarafin, NASA’s Artemis mission manager, put it last week. After lapping the moon, the Orion capsule is expected to turn back toward Earth and make a gentle, splashdown landing in the Pacific Ocean on December 11.
