AI Thread Summary
Europe has launched two satellites to advance its Galileo satnav program, which aims to improve its functionality and reliability. The Galileo system is designed to provide navigation services similar to those of the GPS system. The initiative is part of Europe's efforts to enhance its satellite navigation capabilities and reduce dependency on other systems. The discussion highlights the similarities between Galileo and GPS in terms of their operational purposes. The ongoing development of Galileo reflects Europe's commitment to establishing a robust satellite navigation infrastructure.

I haven't looked into any of the details, but it looks like the Galileo SatNav system is very similar to the GPS system.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
