Astronaut says he accidentally dialed 911 from space

%name Astronaut says he accidentally dialed 911 from space by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In space no one can hear you scream and, as it turns out, no one can respond to your 911 calls either. Dutch astronaut André Kuipers found that out first hand when he accidentally dialed the emergency services number while attempting to place a call to Earth from the International Space Station.

In a recent interview, the now-retired astronaut revealed his humorous blunder, noting that the phone call system from aboard the ISS made it easy to accidentally hit 911. In case you were wondering: No, an ambulance wasn’t dispatched to his location.

Latest Galaxy S10 leak suggests you might want to steer clear of the entry-level model

%name Latest Galaxy S10 leak suggests you might want to steer clear of the entry level model by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you were hoping for Samsung to give you myriad reasons to save some cash and upgrade to the cheaper Galaxy S10 Lite in a few months, you might be out of luck. Recently, a South Korean certification for the SM-G970 (which is expected to be the model number for the Galaxy S10 Lite) popped up online, seemingly revealing that the budget model of Samsung’s 2019 flagship line will come equipped a 3,100 mAh battery.

To put that number into perspective, with a rated capacity of 3,000 mAh, the Galaxy S10 Lite should offer virtually the same amount of battery life as the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S9. All said, this isn’t an especially surprising revelation, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re a Samsung fan with plans to upgrade this spring.

The Milky Way is on an unstoppable collision course with a neighboring galaxy

%name The Milky Way is on an unstoppable collision course with a neighboring galaxy by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Our Solar System has remained largely unchanged for billions of years, and it’s likely to remain that way for a long time to come, but that hasn’t stopped astronomers from looking far into the future in an attempt to forecast some major changes happening to our home galaxy, the Milky Way.

A new research effort supports the idea that the Milky Way is headed for a massive collision, and when that happens it could dramatically affect our Solar System and perhaps even Earth itself. The good news is that humanity will probably be gone by then, one way or another.
