SpaceX launches advanced GPS satellite for US Space Force, sticks rocket landing at sea

It's Spacex's 19 rocket launch (and landing) of the year.


Lockheed Martin - build GPS 3 SVO5 is a next generation GPS 3 space vehicle. It was launched by a private space company "SPACEX" . It was launched using FALCON 9 rocket. GPS 3 SVO5 is the 24th code, it was launched on 17th June at CAPE CARNIVAL space force station in  Florida  around (12:09 EST).

Stephen Hawking's theory about black holes may have been proven right.

  Turns out, black holes exert pressure on all space surrounding them. Hawking had predicted that black holes emit radiation in 1974, implying that the objects have temperature. In addition, Hawking claimed that black holes slowly shrink over time if no accumulation of gases (accretion) takes place.   Scientists from the University of Sussex - Professor Xavier Calmet and Folkert Kuipers published their findings in Physical Review D. The researchers were probing the event horizon (a black hole's boundary) of a black hole when they made the startling discovery.  They were looking an entropy at the event horizon of the black hole, which is essentially the chaos embedded into any physical object and its progression from calm to mayhem.  While reading the calculations, the scientists kept running into an additional figure which they couldn't explain. It took them months to figure out that it was actually caused by pressure around the black hole.   This pres...
