Has Hezbollah acquired sophisticated missiles?
Israeli media has reported, the Hezbollah has successfully shot downed an Israeli Kochav drone, also known as the Elbit-Systems-manufactured Hermes 900 drone. The army sources emphasized that this event marks the first instance of such an occurrence and serves as a reminder that Israeli army drones are not immune to attacks. According to various reports, Hezbollah’s anti-aircraft system comprises a combination of heavy gunfire and shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS), including the Strela-2 and Igla missiles. These systems are capable of engaging targets at medium to high altitudes.
Is space-based solar power a reality?
A UK startup has achieved a significant milestone in its mission to transmit solar energy from space to Earth. At a lab in Belfast, Space Solar, based in Oxford, successfully illuminated an LED sign by wirelessly transmitting energy through the air from all directions. According to the startup, this achievement represents the world’s first 360-degree wireless power transmission. Martin Soltau, founder of Space Solar, emphasized that this steerable power beaming capability is integral to their solar power satellite design. Space-based solar power entails harnessing solar energy in space using satellites equipped with solar panels, followed by wireless transmission of the energy via microwaves to dedicated receiver stations on Earth, where it is converted back into electricity.
Do Rainbow Occurs Outside Our Solar System?
Astronomers have reported the discovery of mysterious rainbow-like patterns on a planet located outside our solar system. This phenomenon, known as the “glory effect,” is frequently observed on Earth and has only been documented once on another celestial body, namely Venus. The light display is believed to emanate from an ultra-hot planet resembling Jupiter, named WASP-76b, situated approximately 637 light-years away. Researchers, including those from the University of Warwick, contributed to this finding.
