Space debris Australia: Piece of SpaceX capsule crashes to Earth in field:
When Mick Miners, a farmer in New South Wales, Australia, first saw a large black object sticking out of the ground in a remote part of his land, he thought it was a dead tree. But on closer inspection – and verification from experts – he learned it had fallen from space. The Australian Space Agency (ASA) later said it came from a SpaceX capsule.
Experts described the discovery as “rare” and “exciting” – but said such events may become more common. The object landed on 9 July in a large area of fields, but was not discovered by Mr Miners until several weeks later. Two other pieces were later found nearby, and the ASA asked anyone who came across further items to contact a debris hotline set up by SpaceX. Dr Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist at the Australian National University, was called to examine the object.
UK Parliament closes TikTok account after China data warning:
The UK Parliament has closed down its TikTok account after MPs raised concerns about the risk of data being passed to the Chinese government. The account has been locked, and content deleted, days after its launch. Senior MPs and peers had called for the account to be removed until TikTok gave “credible assurances” no data could be handed to China. TikTok is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, which has denied it was controlled by the Chinese government. Relations between London and Beijing have been fraught in recent years, with tensions heightened by China’s sanctioning of several MPs last year. “Based on member feedback, we are closing the pilot UK Parliament TikTok account earlier than we had planned,” a UK Parliament spokesman said.

Starlink: Why is Elon Musk launching thousands of satellites?:
Elon Musk’s SpaceX company has been launching thousands of satellites into orbit. Many people say they’ve seen them in the skies. They’re part of the Starlink project, which aims to provide high speed internet services from space, to remote areas on Earth. Starlink provides internet services via a huge network of satellites. It is aimed at people who live in remote areas who cannot get high-speed internet. “There are people in the UK in that category, but more across the world, in places like Africa,” says Dr Lucinda King, Space Projects Manager at the University of Portsmouth. Starlink’s satellites have been put in low-level orbit around the Earth to make connection speeds between the satellites and the ground as fast as possible.
Bitcoin: Missing hard drive could fund Newport crypto hub:
Almost 10 years ago James Howells threw away a hard drive during a clear out – forgetting about the Bitcoin on it. Now, with the Bitcoin worth an estimated £150m ($184m), he is planning to spend millions digging up a Newport landfill in a bid to find the lost hard drive. If recovered Mr Howells said he would give 10% of the proceeds to turn the city into a crypto-currency hub. But the council said excavating the site would pose an ecological risk. Mr Howells, an IT engineer, accidentally threw away the hard drive in 2013 after mining 8,000 Bitcoins in the early stages of the currency’s development.
Ambani and Adani: Asia’s richest men battle to dominate 5G in India:
India’s largest auction for 5G airwaves has ended after seven days, potentially setting the stage for a battle of supremacy over India’s digital future between two of Asia’s richest men – Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani. A total of 72 gigahertz of spectrum was on the block in the auction. Ashwini Vaishnaw, India’s telecoms minister, said 71% of what was on offer was sold. The government drew bids worth approximately $19bn from the three current players – Mr Ambani’s Reliance-Jio or (R-Jio), Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel – and from a fourth, new entrant, Adani Data Networks. This surpassed expectations as total bids had more than doubled since the last auction in March 2021, according to CRISIL Research. While R-Jio emerged as the largest bidder, buying spectrum worth $11bn, the Adani group spent only about $26m. The remaining bids came from Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. While Bharti Airtel and R-Jio reportedly bid for pan-India airwaves, cash-strapped Vodafone Idea spent only in priority sectors.
How rangers are using AI to help protect India’s tigers:
For 22 years vet, Akhilesh Mishra has been treating animals at Pench National Park in Madhya Pradesh state in India. He does not hesitate to name the tiger as his favourite animal. “They are so magnificent and beautiful. I just need to feel their soft skin to feel relaxed” he says. “!When I treat an injured tiger and then they are able to go back to forest, it is an out of this world experience.” A tiger’s life is not easy, he says, particularly for the females: “For me the tigress is much stronger than the male tiger. She fights so fearlessly for her cubs. She is a goddess – ready to take on a huge tiger who tries to harm her cubs.” The tigers he treats have mostly been injured while hunting, or protecting their cubs. But he has also treated tigers that have been poisoned by poachers – who put toxins in pools where they are known to drink. “My heart cries when I see for no fault theirs, they are killed for their skin, nails and teeth,” he says.
