"Brief Answers to the Big Questions" is a selection of the late cosmologist's most profound, accessible, and timely reflections from his personal archive.
The star is just two million years old -- a ‘toddler’ in astronomical terms -- and is surrounded by a huge disc of dust and ice.
The cause of Chandra’s safe mode on October 10 has now been understood and the operations team has successfully returned the spacecraft to its normal pointing mode.
With so little thick, old ice left, the rate of decrease in ice thickness has slowed, the US space agency said in a statement.
The satellites are the 39th and 40th of the BeiDou navigation system and the 15th and 16th of the BeiDou-3 family.
Ashtekar is professor of physics, Evan Pugh Professor, Holder, Eberly Chair, and director of the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos at the Pennsylvania State University.
This camera represents a fundamental shift, making it possible to analyse interactions between light and matter at an unparalleled temporal resolution.
"Once such superhumans appear, there will be significant political problems with unimproved humans, who won't be able to compete," Hawking wrote.
The detection will be based on high-precision laser interferometry technology to measure the changes of the distances and locations of the three satellites.
According to the US space agency, it is possible that a layer of dust deposited on the rover's solar panels by the dust storm is blocking sunlight that could recharge its batteries.
Scientists are currently performing analyses and tests to determine what options are available to recover the gyro to operational performance.
The potentially life-supporting Europa has been studied by NASA, whose work has become more difficult due to the ice towers, Xinhua news agency reported.
The Russian rocket carries US astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin. The two astronauts are making an emergency landing after a Russian booster rocket carrying them into orbit to the International Space Station has failed after launch.
Safe mode puts the telescope into a stable configuration until ground control can correct the issue and return the mission to normal operation.
Shannon led the report on the signals detected with a high-powered telescope in Western Australia, Xinhua news agency reported.
Over the past three decades, the search for dark matter has focussed mostly on a class of particle candidates known as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).
Elon Musk-founded private spaceflight company SpaceX on Sunday successfully landed the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket on land after delivering an Argentinian earth-observation satellite from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
New Horizons itself was about 6.35 billion kilometres from home when it carried out on Wednesday's trajectory correction maneuver (TCM), the farthest course-correction ever performed.
Scientists including one of Indian origin have created an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can accurately predict whether a person's cognitive decline will lead to Alzheimer's disease in the next five years.
It is the first crewed mission by the US since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. NASA astronauts currently use Russian Soyuz spacecraft, and its contract is set to expire in November 2019.
