Nihon Vital's "Kaisei".

Taking a hint from the fact that insects find flowers by the wavelength and light intensity of sunlight, the company has developed an "insect eye sensor" that tracks sunlight. It efficiently collects sunlight. The six optical fibers can be extended up to one kilometer and can illuminate 500 square meters. It is about 2 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters high. The price starts at 5 million yen (excluding consumption tax). It has been used in buildings and train stations in Kumamoto Prefecture, and its sales have been about 100 million yen. It can also be used to cut infrared rays and ultraviolet rays. The company is currently producing them overseas, but will switch to domestic production within this year. The price will start at 250,000 yen (same as above). "The market for solar concentrators is worth about 20 billion yen. President Yokozawa hopes to capture a 20% share of this market.

NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated June 27, 2014 of The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is an orbiting infrared observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope, with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be confirmed until later this summer or perhaps in the fall. The instrument, successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which is the largest science observatory ever placed into space, will launch on a European Ariane 5 rocket from a spaceport in French Guiana.
