Eutelsat, ranking as the third-largest satellite operator by revenue globally, successfully launched 20 new satellites into orbit on Sunday. This initiative marks their first significant undertaking since merging with another European entity last year. The satellites were propelled by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which lifted off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base at 0513 GMT.
In another stride in scientific advancement, Colombian researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking food supplement designed to protect bees from the damaging effects of pesticides. This innovation aims to safeguard the brains of these vital pollinators from neurological harm, ensuring their survival and the sustainability of natural ecosystems and agriculture.
