Water World
A single large data centre can use an estimated five million US gallons of water a day
Five million gallons is a high-end estimate, not typical use. Facility records, cooling design and summer peaks reveal how data-centre growth can strain local water supplies.
Science
A short gamma-ray burst has looked since 2006 like it went off in empty space, and archival Webb images have now turned up a faint galaxy…
GRB 061201 was the textbook "hostless" burst. A team led from the Purple Mountain Observatory weighs two candidate galaxies against each other and finds the faint one wins on most tests, loses the formal chance-alignment score, and carries one loud caveat: its redshift is fitted rather than measured.

About Space Daily
Space, science, and the human side of the frontier. Since 1995.
Space Daily is an independent publication covering three connected beats: the space industry, the science behind it, and the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes. Founded in Tokyo in 1995, we’ve built a thirty-year archive of rigorous reporting on the people, missions, and ideas pushing humanity outward — and on the human dynamics shaped by frontier life. The same ambitions, pressures, and patterns of mind that drive humanity to the stars also shape how we live on Earth. We employ modern AI technologies to support our editorial workflows; every published piece is editorially directed and reviewed.
