The International Astronomical Society has announced a competition

Everyone can offer their name for the new exoplanets found by the James Webb telescope. True, naming a planet after a dog will not work - the community wants the name to pursue a specific goal. Basically, the idea is aimed at students and amateur astronomers, who are invited to shoot down in teams. But singles can also work.

Monsoons accelerate climate change.

Monsoons accelerate climate change, as they lift atmospheric pollutants - gases and aerosols - into the stratosphere and spread them over a large area. The South Asian monsoons create a layer of harmful substances about 16 kilometers above the Earth. It contains industrial, agricultural and transport emissions. The layer covers the regions of West Africa and parts of the Pacific Ocean.

Starlink was hacked with just $25.

Security researcher Lennert Wouters hacked the SpaceX-operated Starlink satellite internet system using a homemade circuit board that cost $25 to develop. He physically disassembled the satellite dish and attached his modchip to it, consisting of a Raspberry Pi, flash memory, electronic switches, and a voltage regulator. After connecting to the Starlink dish, the tool launched a bug-injection attack to temporarily short out the system, which allowed Starlink's defenses to be bypassed so that Wouters could infiltrate blocked parts of the system. Wouters' attack causes the first bootloader to fail - a ROM bootloader that is flashed into the system-on-a-chip and cannot be upgraded. He then deployed the patched firmware to later bootloaders, all of which gave him root access and full control of the plate. SpaceX called Wauters' study "technically impressive."

Signs of its earthly origin have been found on the moon.

Scientists from the University of Washington have found that lunar rocks contain helium and neon - gases of terrestrial origin. And this proves that the Moon was once part of the Earth. Researchers suggest that the earth's satellite was formed as a result of the split of one large ancient planet. Probably, a large space object crashed into it, and it split into two parts, which later became the Earth and the Moon.

Scientists have learned to “erase” memories of drug addiction.

This discovery should help in the treatment of dependent people. Scientists took stem cells from the tissues of drug addicts, which can reach the brain and influence it so that it “forgets” about the sensations that a person experienced when taking drugs. After that, new memory cells are formed in the brain that do not carry information about addiction. After the job is done, the stem cells either migrate to another damaged site or die and leave the body. In theory, this method can help and get rid of nicotine addiction.

The Japanese giant hornet is the largest of all types of hornets.

The effect of a bite is compared to hammering a red-hot nail, after which the action of toxins begins, which causes swelling, fever, and even tissue necrosis. As a bonus, you can get not one, but several stings, since the hornet is able to sting repeatedly. On average, these guys kill about 40 people a year - more than any other wild animal in Japan.

In Argentina, they discovered a new species of dinosaur that weighed like a cat and looked like a dragon

Paleontologists have found the remains of a previously unknown dinosaur species in southern Argentina, which they called Jakapil kaniukura ("shield bearer"). Such a dinosaur was the size of a cat, walked on its hind legs and looked like a small dragon. Scientists believe that Jakapil kaniukura lived about 100 million years ago. Its fossils have been found during excavations for the past ten years, but only now have researchers got enough data to single out this dinosaur as a separate species.

Interesting facts about sharks.

1. Sharks don't feel pain. 2. The eye of a shark can perceive almost twice as many frames per second as the human eye. 3. Sharks are able to feel the blood diluted in sea water in a ratio of one to a million. Yes, they do have a very, very keen sense of smell. 4. Sharks can't sleep. The fact is that they can pass water through the gills, taking oxygen from it, only in the process of swimming, since shark gills at rest cannot “suck in” water themselves. Thus, sharks never sleep, otherwise they will simply suffocate. 5. There is a place in the central part of the Pacific Ocean where large groups of white sharks regularly gather. It bears the informal name "Shark Cafe".

Scientists have figured out when the sun will be at its hottest.

The European Space Agency has studied data on thousands of sun-like stars in the Milky Way and figured out how its future will turn out. The Sun is now 4.57 billion years old and continues to heat up. The hottest star will be 8 billion years old. Then it will cool down, increase in size and become a red giant in 10-11 billion years. Then, in about 11.8 billion years, it will gradually turn into a white dwarf - that is, into stellar remnants.
