*"Will the US Be Able to Stop Russia's New Arsenal of Missile Defense-Piercing
Nukes? Russia could soon be able to conduct nuclear strikes all over the world
without any chance of being intercepted, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday
(March 1).
Speaking on Russian television as part of his annual address, Putin announced a
new class of weapons delivery systems designed to sneak past NATO's
American-built ballistic missile defenses. As Putin spoke, computer-generated
graphics and video footage playing behind him showed the capabilities of a new
hypersonic missile, an underwater drone and a cruise missile with "unlimited
range" designed to avoid detection systems."

*"Solar Storms Can Crash Communications, But 3D Models Aid Prediction.
Communications systems are an integral part of daily life, but the sun can trigger
powerful geomagnetic storms on Earth that disrupt GPS systems, air travel,
national security and life-saving communications. The sun releases radiation,
some of which helps support life on Earth. This includes heat and visible light.
But the sun also emits more-dangerous rays, and the blue planet's
magnetosphere protects Earthlings from this radiation.
Occasionally, however, intense solar events like flares send high levels of
radiation toward Earth. When that radiation arrives and interacts with the
magnetosphere, a geomagnetic storm can form. The planet feels its impact in
many ways: Sometimes, the northern and southern lights manifest at Earth's
poles, but the radiation can also cause communication systems to fail.

visible at high latitudes. These storms can also pose risks to the power grid."

*"'Billions and Billions': Space Exploration is Not Just for Billionaires. As exciting
as SpaceX's Falcon Heavy launch was — a marvel of both engineering and
publicity with Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster along for the ride — we should
remember that the wonders of space, with its "billions and billions" of planets
and stars, are not the exclusive domain of a few billionaires. Not when tens of
millions of students have the means to send their own experiments into space.
We should recognize that fact, because space can and should inspire people of all
ages, regardless of status or income."
