pluto but further away and this object is really tiny it was literally just the speck in the hubble space telescope field of view it was it wasn't even identified until after new horizons has launched so it's really just sort of piggybacking on what was already an incredible mission and bringing more new science about this really distant cold outer reaches of the solar system which is also a really good way to look back at how the solar system formed and what it was like in those early days because there's not a whole lot go a lot out there in some way. so meghan tell me a bit more about the rocket self why is it that this particular op can reveal so much about the formation of the cell a system. sure well it's not this particular rock so much of like literally at the rock out there we just don't have a lot of data about objects in the paper belt so getting anything is really great for science so we don't know a whole lot about this object right now we don't even know if it's one object or a couple of objects sort of stuck together and floating together so i think i can't really answer your questio

it has been observed by the hubble space telescope, but only as a few tiny blobs on a pixel, so it isecraft was guided there. warnings from the recycling industry that the uk would struggle to cope with plastic waste after china stopped importing it a year ago have failed to materialise, according to bbc research. for many years, two—thirds of britain‘s waste sent abroad went to china and hong kong. but the bbc has found that other countries have stepped in to take britain‘s waste. china was the world‘s waste—eater. the uk was exporting 500,000 tons of plastic a year to be recycled there. when it closed its ports to foreign rubbish, there were fears that plastic waste would build up in the uk. but instead, britain‘s waste has been brought here to indonesia, where some of it gets dumped. the other main nations accepting british plastic are malaysia, turkey and poland. malaysia is now suffering from dumping of low—value waste, and its government is considering a ban on rubbish imports. the real concern is that we‘re causing environmental damage in other countries, where they‘ve accepted

friends is worth a thousand words hawk watch or in the case of hubble a thousand stars yes the hubble space telescope is back in the news again as it was discovered that one of hubble's most famous photographs the hubble ultra deep field actually had an even deeper view into the universe than previously seen the ultra deep field is actually not just one photograph but hundreds taken over multiple years by the high powered telescope and then presented in composite form now after painstaking rounds of reprocessing researchers have discreet covered lots of additional light information not seen before in the famous photograph but hubble is not the only one out there out of this world pota graph currently wowing the eyes and catching headlines as nasa has zero serious wrecks sounds like a wrestler just shot back to beautiful pics of asteroid venues as it prepares to land on the small asteroid from ground stars my friends to the smallest and smallest of asteroids space does take one hell of a good picture. i must say but that is a great example of what happens when we put our minds to forward thinking and
