Lithium Extraction Project Worries Those Who Rely on Water From Colorado River [Video]

Lithium Extraction Project Worries Those Who Rely on Water From Colorado River

Lithium Extraction Project , Worries Those Who Rely on , Water From Colorado River. Lithium is used to manufacture electric vehicle batteries. A new plan to extract lithium in Utah has raised concerns about how the project could impact the Colorado River, Fox News reports. The Paradox Basin, a geologic formation shared by Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, has been analyzed by an Australian company and its U.S. subsidiaries. The Paradox Basin, a geologic formation shared by Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, has been analyzed by an Australian company and its U.S. subsidiaries. The basin's groundwater has been found to be rich in lithium salts and other minerals left over from millions of years ago when the area was repeatedly flooded and drained. Australia-based Anson Resources has also reportedly acquired rights to freshwater sourced from the nearby Green River. . The company's plans have given rise to questions about how the groundwater and river water are interconnected, in addition to the impact of lithium on the environment. 'The Guardian' points out that the Green River is a tributary of the crucial Colorado River, which supplies water for 40 million people in the West. We need to have a renewable+ energy transition, but maybe we shouldn’t be looking for these kinds of quick-fix energy solutions on a drought-stricken river, Lauren Wood, a third-generation resident of Green River, Utah, via Fox News. Geologists and Earth scientists have cautioned that it remains unclear how water-intensive the process of direct lithium extraction actually is. The technology is too new for much of a commercial track record to have been established, Michael McKibben, professor at the University of California, Riverside, via Fox News. Ultimately, Utah's water rights division will make the final decision regarding water permits for Anson and its U.S. subsidiaries, a process which could take months or years

Astronomers Discover Unusual Galaxy That Should Not Exist [Video]

Astronomers Discover Unusual Galaxy That Should Not Exist

Astronomers Discover , Unusual Galaxy , That Should Not Exist. 'Newsweek' reports that NASA's James Webb Telescope has discovered a new galaxy that shouldn't exist. . The dwarf galaxy, referred to as PEARLSDG, was spotted in an area of space where astronomers were not expecting to find anything. A new paper in the 'Astrophysical Journal Letters' details the strange properties of PEARLSDG, chiefly how it appears to not be forming new stars. Normally, dwarf galaxies orbit larger galaxies, which influences their formation. . Our Milky Way is orbited by about 20 dwarf galaxies, like the Small Magellanic Cloud and Triangulum II. PEARLSDG appears to not be interacting with any nearby galaxies, while also not forming any new stars. Scientists now believe PEARLSDG is a rare isolated quiescent galaxy. . These types of isolated quiescent dwarf galaxies haven't really been seen before except for relatively few cases, Tim Carleton, paper co-author and an assistant research scientist at Arizona State University, via 'Newsweek'. They are not really expected to exist given our current understanding of galaxy evolution, so the fact that we see this object helps us improve our theories for galaxy formation, Tim Carleton, paper co-author and an assistant research scientist at Arizona State University, via 'Newsweek'. Generally, dwarf galaxies that are out there by themselves are continuing to form new stars, Tim Carleton, paper co-author and an assistant research scientist at Arizona State University, via 'Newsweek'. 'Newsweek' reports that the findings suggest that astronomers have much more to learn about dwarf galaxies, including how they evolve over time.

James Webb Space Telescope captures images of 19 spiral galaxies | Oneindia News

James Webb Space Telescope released images, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the mysteries of 19 spiral galaxies neighbouring Milky Way. Released by the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) project, these awe-inspiring images were captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The closest of these galaxies, NGC5068, is a mere 15 million light-years away, while the most distant, NGC1365, resides at a staggering 60 million light years from Earth. #JamesWebb #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #PHANGSProject #StarFormation #InfraredObservations #SpiralGalaxies #GalacticStructure #CosmicRevelation #WebbTelescopeImages ~HT.292~GR.123~PR.151~ED.155~
