stanley spain t and would require U.S. film production companies to submit to the DOD a list of the movies theyve made for the past 10 years and disclose whether theyve ever submitted scripts to the Chinese government for approval. Ironically, the bill essentially mandates that Hollywood producers submit scripts to the U.S. gover
stanley mugs nment for approval if they want any assistance from the U.S. military, something thats already been the case for years. The U.S. military establishment has assisted in the creation of movies dating back to at least the 1910s, providing rare resources like fighter jets and aircraft carriers in exchange for script approval on Hollywood films. But the Texas Republican doesnt want any of those resources to go toward the creation of movies where China might have a say in how characters and storylines are developed. The U.S. military has worked on numerous recent movies, from Captain Marvel to the Transformers franchise, big-budget films where the good guys are uniformed members of the Air Force, Army, and Navy. And before DOD helps by providing equipment and advice, Hollywood effectively signs a contract that gives the mi

A team of European scientists named their planet Ross 128 after the star it orbits, Ross 128. It has a projected mass 1.35 times Earths and might even have comfor

Scientists wont call it habitable just yet, but the observation is promising Its more exciting than Proxima Centauri b, Emily Rice, research associate in astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History told Gizmodo.

stanley canada ook 157 observations of Ross 128 with the HARPS spectrograph, or as the European Southern Observatory calls it, the planet hunter of ground-based astronomy in the Chilean desert. The planet doesnt transit, or pass in front of its star from our point of view, so HARPS must instead measure velocities based on the spectrum of observed light. This time around, the instrument detected the planet with an orbit of 9.9 days, around 20 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the Sun. There are lots of reasons to have hope about Ross 128 b. The less-active Ross 128 star could make Ross 128 b easier to study than Proxima Centauri b. The planet may be as cold as -76 degrees F, but it might be as nice as 69 degrees F depending on assumptions of how much light it reflects. The broad temperature spread means that scientists wont call it a habitable planet just yet. It is probably preferable to refer to Ross 128 b as a temperate planet, the studys authors write
