US defense officials have long worried that China's Guowang satellite network might give the Chinese military access to the kind of ubiquitous connectivity US forces now enjoy with SpaceX's Starlink network.

NASA’s new AI model can predict when a solar storm may strike

Early testing of Surya showed it could predict some solar flares two hours in advance. “It can predict the solar flare’s shape, the position in the sun, the intensity,” says Juan Bernabe-Moreno, an AI researcher at IBM who led the Surya project. Two hours may not be enough to protect against all the impacts a strong flare could have, but every moment counts.

The Star-Studded Trailer for ‘Anniversary’ Takes a Dystopian Detour

The best trailers make you want to see a movie but also leave you unsure exactly what it’s about.
