The satellite established its first Bluetooth connection with the Earth

Hubble Network has become the first company in history to establish a Bluetooth connection directly to a satellite – a major validation of the technology for the company, potentially opening the door to connecting millions more devices anywhere in the world.

The Seattle-based startup launched its first two satellites into orbit as part of SpaceX’s collaborative Transporter-10 mission in March; since then, the company has confirmed that it is receiving signals from its embedded 3.5mm Bluetooth chips from over 600 kilometers away.

The technology can be used in logistics, livestock tracking, smart collars for pets, children’s GPS watches, automotive equipment, construction sites, soil temperature monitoring and oil extraction.

The Seattle-based startup hopes that in the future their invention will help build an “Internet of Things” without Wi-Fi or cellular service.

The highest altitude observatory in the world opened in Chile

The University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory is located at 5,640 m on Mount Chahnantor in the Atacama Desert. It is equipped with an optical infrared telescope with an aperture diameter of 6.5 m. The design and construction of the observatory took 26 years. 🤯Due to its location, the observatory has a number of advantages, as it covers «almost the entire infrared range», as well as the medium wave

Planet 9 is close to being discovered

Named “Planet 9”, researchers said that the most recent data shows something big is able to pull objects from outer space toward our sun and these objects occasionally cross Neptune’s line of orbit. The most plausible explanation, according to some researchers, is that a planet is creating these interferences.
