Scientists working for the Pentagon in EEUU have successfully tested a pizza box-sized solar
panel in space, designed as a prototype of a future system to send electricity from space to
any point on Earth. The panel is designed to take full advantage of light in space, which does
not pass through the atmosphere and therefore retains energy from blue waves, making it
more powerful than sunlight reaching Earth. Blue light diffuses upon entering the
atmosphere, making the sky appear blue. But the project envisions a series of dozens of
panels and, if scaled up, its success could revolutionize the way power is generated and
distributed to remote corners of the world. It could contribute to the largest networks of
networks on Earth, Jaffe said.

recommend authorization of the vaccine for individuals 18 years of age and older.

third licensed for use in the US.
