A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said. The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website. Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

A group of cosmologists has distributed a multi-shaded study of five pieces of space - and offered the best gauge yet of how quick the Universe is blurring. They investigated the light from 200,000 systems in 21 wavelengths and found that the vitality yield of the Universe has about divided in two billion years. This concurs with past counts, affirming that the lights are gradually going out right over this range. The drop is generally because of the falling rate at which new stars are shaped.
The information discharge implies that a mess more individuals outside the group will have the capacity to bounce on the information and do science with it, which is inconceivably critical," said Dr Stephen Wilkins of the University of Sussex, another GAMA colleague.
He told that the quality of GAMA is that it joins such a large
"It's a different take, and it totally concurs with the past results - yet it's fixed the mistake bars too." In particular, when the group totted up the aggregate vitality yield of systems at three distinct ages, they saw an enduring droop. Altogether, from 2.25 billion years back to 0.75 billion years prior, the Universe's yield evidently fell by around 40%. "The rate at which stars are framing is easing off so much that we are presently beginning to see the aggregate vitality yield of the considerable number of stars diminishing," Dr Wilkins clarified. This happens in light of the fact that the stars that as of now exist - by and large - get more established, littler and less energetic.Prof Driver wrapped the discoveries into a pitiful however comfy relationship: "The Universe will decrease from here on in, similar to a maturity that keeps going forever," he said. "The Universe has essentially sat down on the couch, pulled up a sweeping and speaks the truth to fall asleep for an unceasing rest."
The possible end of the Universe is still a horrendously long way off, the group said - and it is excessively ahead of schedule to put a date on it. "The rate at which stars structure is most likely going to decay an ever increasing amount," Dr Wilkins said. "So the Universe will, in view of our desires, get to be fainter and fainter and fainter. Be that as it may, there's an enormous measure of instability there in light of the fact that we don't see such an extensive amount the fundamental cosmology."
The group's investigation of the immense universe sized languor has been submitted to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, yet is not yet companion looked into.
