We could soon be able to take photographs of stars 75,000 years away after new technology was configured to speed the up the process using lasers, according to ANU astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker.
“The fact that we’ve never even seen anything else besides a few planets in our own solar system up close is the exciting thing,” he told Sky News.
“At the current technology right now, it takes 75,000 years to get to the nearest star system but now with this idea of using a huge array of lasers to shoot at a sail and then blast that sail off into space we think that we could reach the next star in a couple of decades.”
Dr Tucker said the technology was “not that far off being achievable” because it uses technology which have already been developed such as lasers and light sails.
“If you can get to the next star system, we can take up-close photos of the star and the planets around it in a way that we just never even considered being an option.”
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is one of the most impressive next-gen games yet – but just how does the game really put the PlayStation 5 hardware through its paces? John Linneman talks to Insomniac’s Core Technology Director Mike Fitzgerald to get the full lowdown on the game.

The #UnitedStates Senate has passed a $250 billion plan to boost investment in research and #technology, as it tries to counter #China’s growing influence in the sector. The package seeks to shore up development of artificial intelligence and quantum computing, while earmarking more then $50 billion for production of semiconductor microchips. The bill will now be debated by the House of Representatives. China has already responded to the vote, calling the draft law a “paranoid delusion”. #Business

In this video we explain how our Ocean Cleanup system 001 works. Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/371k8sN
The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods – vessels and nets – would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. Our passive systems are estimated to remove half the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years, and at a fraction of the cost. Our first cleanup system will be deployed in the summer of 2018. This is how it works.

Trash accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.
The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods – vessels and nets – would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. Our passive systems are estimated to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years, and at a fraction of the cost.
