Japan is racing to turn outer space into Earth’s next power plant. Through the OHISAMA project, engineers are preparing to launch a satellite in 2025 that will harvest solar energy in orbit and beam it wirelessly to Earth using microwaves. With 24/7 access to sunlight and no weather disruptions, space-based solar panels could outshine ground farms—and may signal the beginning of a new age in clean energy. The sun never sets in orbit — and neither will this power source. #SpaceSolarPower #JapanInnovation #CleanEnergyFuture #OHISAMA #OrbitalEnergy #RenewableRevolution

Chủ tịch HoREA: “Cần sửa ngay quy định thu bổ sung tiền sử dụng đất, không chờ Luật Đất đai 2024” Ông Lê Hoàng Châu – Chủ tịch HoREA – cho rằng quy định về thu bổ sung tiền sử dụng đất đang gây bế tắc cho doanh nghiệp, khiến giá nhà tăng và người dân gánh thiệt. Hiện nhiều dự án ách tắc vì quy định này quá rườm rà, trong khi doanh nghiệp bị truy thu tới 5,4%/năm – phần lớn do chậm trễ từ cơ quan nhà nước trong việc xác định giá đất. Theo ông Châu, cần sửa ngay Nghị định 103 để tháo gỡ khó khăn, không nên chờ đến khi Luật Đất đai 2024 có hiệu lực. Về lâu dài, nên bỏ hẳn quy định thu bổ sung. HoREA kiến nghị, sửa ngay Nghị định 103, không chờ đến Luật Đất đai 2024. Không truy thu phần trước 1/8/2024. Hoặc giảm còn 2,7% để chia sẻ gánh nặng. Nếu không điều chỉnh, giá nhà có thể tiếp tục tăng, ảnh hưởng lớn đến người dân.

Solar Storms Are Forcing Starlink Satellites to Return to Earth Sooner Than Expected A recent study has uncovered that intense solar activity is hastening the fall of Starlink satellites back to Earth. As the Sun becomes more active during its current 11-year cycle—known as Solar Cycle 25—powerful events like solar flares and coronal mass ejections are heating Earth’s upper atmosphere. This causes the atmosphere to expand, increasing drag on satellites in low-Earth orbit, including those from Elon Musk’s Starlink network. The added resistance slows satellites down and cuts short their operational lifespans. Researchers reviewed data from 523 Starlink satellites launched between 2020 and 2024. Their analysis showed that higher levels of solar activity are clearly accelerating the rate at which these satellites are reentering Earth’s atmosphere. This trend not only affects satellite functionality but also makes it harder to predict when and where reentries will occur—raising operational risks and deepening concerns about space debris. With a surge in both satellite launches and solar activity, scientists warn that we’re entering a new era of orbital unpredictability. One researcher noted, “We’re seeing the highest levels of satellite congestion and solar activity in recorded history.” This overlap highlights the urgent need for smarter strategies to manage the evolving challenges of our crowded skies.
