Taken from a distance of just 50 meters, the image shows a large piece of space junk — a spent rocket’s upper stage about 11 meters in length — that’s been in low-Earth orbit for 15 years after launching an Earth-observation satellite for Japan in 2009. Astroscale has described the controlled approach as a world first. Japan’s space agency selected Tokyo-based Astroscale for its Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration (CRD2), and ADRAS-J is a part of this initiative. Studying a…
Tucked away in the corner of Jebel Ali, among big factories, is a small structure called an air quality monitoring station. But let the size not fool you, because this station can measure 101 types of air pollutants as well as temperature, humidity, wind direction and more. The Dh2 million facility that was unveiled on June 5, on World Environment Day, is aimed at ensuring the good health of workers in the area. “Since a lot of factories are located in Jebel Ali, we want to make sure that the air quality in this area is not impacted by pollutants,”…

Left-arm paceman Trent Boult said he had played his “last day” of international cricket after New Zealand’s disappointing T20 World Cup campaign ended with a seven-wicket win over Papua New Guinea in Trinidad on Monday. The 34-year-old has been infrequently selected for international duty since being released from his New Zealand central contract in August 2022, allowing him to play in more domestic T20 leagues abroad. But the renowned swing bowler did feature in New Zealand’s 50-over World Cup campaign last year, where they reached the semifinals only to suffer a 70-run defeat by tournament hosts India at a packed…

That said, we would have preferred to save Independence Day as one of our picks for the best movies to watch on the Fourth of July. Our remaining choices for the three sci-fi movies on Hulu that you have…
