☆ Leo Messi sparks a surge in Major League Soccer subscription sign-ups
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —Soccer superstar Leo Messi’s arrival in America has sparked a surge in ticket prices, apparel and now, streaming subscriptions. MLS Season Pass, which is Apple’s streaming package that broadcasts the soccer matches, experienced 1,690% growth in sign-ups the day Messi first played for his new team Inter Miami, according to analytics firm Antenna. Newly released data shows that the streaming package had about 6,000 subscription sign-ups the day before, but that soared to 110,000 sign-ups on his July 21 debut in the Leagues Cup. But nearly half of MLS Season Pass sign-ups to date happened in July after Messi joined the league, showing the surge in interest that Messi brought to Major League Soccer. That isn’t a surprise since his deal with Inter Miami includes a cut of the revenue from new subscribers of MLS Season Pass, according to multiple reports.

They were listening to the last sigh of the Big Bang, which birthed the universe 13.8 billion years ago and is detectable now only as a faint, omnipresent hiss of microwave radiation. Up until then, scientists had debated whether the universe even had a beginning; maybe it was timeless. As important, the discovery brought the beginning of time into the lab, where it could be pinched, squeezed and dissected. The cosmic microwave background offered a new window into the nature of reality, one into which astronomers have been peering intently ever since.

☆ Sorry to report: Netflix's password-sharing crackdown has been very successful in adding new subscribers

Netflix's password-sharing crackdown has been a huge success. New data from Antenna shows a big spike in new subscribers in May, June, and July. AdvertisementAdvertisementThis could come as unwelcome news, but it's becoming clear that Netflix's password-sharing crackdown has been a resounding success. In Antenna's new research, the firm also found enthusiasm among new subscribers for Netflix's cheaper ad-supported tier, which costs $7 per month. It seems that Netflix's two biggest recent changes, its ad tier and password-sharing crackdown, are both paying off in a major way for the streaming service.

REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 23 (Reuters) - Signups for Netflix (NFLX.O) in the United States remain elevated despite a fall from June's record high after the video-streaming pioneer's crackdown on shared passwords came into effect in May, according to data from research firm Antenna. Netflix had said last year it was going to limit account-sharing and was testing various approaches in some markets. This has led analysts to expect that about 50 million users will ultimately create their own accounts. The research firm sources its streaming data from transaction records such as online purchase receipts and banking information.

The Bernstein sales specialist also fired up an interesting analysis, using Nielsen data and other industry stats, that shows which streaming services are mostly likely to raise prices again. In other words, you're probably going to pay more for Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock before too long. However, over a longer period, it usually takes a consistent supply of solid hits to drive repeat viewing habits that support higher prices, Schilsky explained.

☆ Days on Mars Are Getting Shorter

For reasons unknown, the spin of Mars is speeding up. But scientists continue to sift through the four years’ worth of data it gathered, learning more about what is deep inside the red planet. In a paper published in June in the journal Nature, scientists working on the mission reported additional findings gleaned from tiny shifts in the frequencies of radio transmissions between Earth and InSight on Mars. When InSight’s location on Mars was moving toward Earth, a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect compressed the radio waves slightly, shortening the wavelength and increasing the frequency. When InSight was in motion away from the receiving antenna on Earth, the wavelength lengthened and the frequency decreased.

☆ NASA used an interstellar 'shout' to reconnect with Voyager 2 probe after losing it in a technical screw-up

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory reconnected with the Voyager 2 space probe after losing it. The agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory sent an interstellar "shout" more than 12.3 billion miles which got the probe's attention after an error by NASA officials rendered the probe temporarily unreachable. According to the agency, it took the signal 18.5 hours for commands to reach Voyager 2 through the vastness of space. The operation only had a small chance of success, a spokeswoman for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory told The Times. "After two weeks of not hearing anything, we're back to getting unique data from the interstellar medium," said Linda Spilker, a planetary scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the lead mission scientist for Voyager 2.

☆ NASA Reaches Voyager 2 With a Last-Ditch ‘Shout’ Across the Void

It took an interstellar “shout” across the solar system. But NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said on Friday that it re-established full communications with Voyager 2, an aging probe exploring the outer edges of the solar system. “After two weeks of not hearing anything, we’re back to getting unique data from the interstellar medium,” said Linda Spilker, a planetary scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the lead mission scientist for Voyager 2. On Tuesday morning, officials from the Deep Space Network, a worldwide system of radio dishes NASA uses to communicate with various space probes, detected a carrier signal known as a heartbeat from Voyager 2. Nonetheless, being able to pick up only the heartbeat “was upsetting and worrisome,” said Suzanne Dodd, the project manager for Voyager 2.

CNN —Using a long-shot “shout” maneuver, the Voyager mission team at NASA has reestablished communication with Voyager 2 after losing contact with the spacecraft, which has been operating for nearly 46 years. Commands sent to Voyager 2 on July 21 accidentally caused the spacecraft’s antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. One radio antenna is located at Goldstone near Barstow, California, the second near Madrid, and the third near Canberra, Australia. It’s not the first time that the aging twin probes — Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both launched in 1977 — have experienced issues. Voyager 1, which is nearly 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, continues to operate as expected and communicate with the Deep Space Network.

This isn’t the first time NASA has lost the ability to talk to the spacecraft. In 2020, scientists managing the Deep Space Network shut down the sole radio dish capable of talking to Voyager 2 for repairs and upgrades. A few weeks after Voyager 2 began its journey, NASA launched its twin, Voyager 1, which followed a different trajectory and reached interstellar space first. Earlier this year, Voyager 2 switched to running its five instruments on backup power to prolong the life of the mission. “It’s a 46-year-old spacecraft — we don’t like being out of contact with it,” the spokeswoman said.

But one company that doesn't seem to be sweating it too much is Netflix. And for all of June , Netflix signed up 3.5 million subscribers, the service's best month since Antenna started measuring it. Netflix's robust global content machine should also help it ensure subscribers still see plenty of fresh content during the strike, at least for the near term. Many writers blame Netflix for making it harder to make a living as a result, one of the conditions that led to the strike. Subs growth for Netflix is increasingly coming from overseas, where lower pricing power could cut into its average revenue per user.
