The monobob joins the 2-woman event, giving women two bobsleigh events, and the men have 2-man and 4-man events.</p><p>The biggest difference in monobob is that the lone athlete is now responsible for pushing, steering, and braking for the sleigh. In the 2-person and 4-person events, those responsibilities are divided among the teammates. </p><p>Those tasks become even more daunting when you realize that a monobob sled (365 pounds; 165 kg) weighs only ten pounds less than a 2-person sled, according to Team USA. </p><p>That weight means some scary speeds coming down the ice and G-forces that can reach 4-5 around corners. </p><p>During the 2021 World Championships, American Kaillie Humphries reached speeds of 117 kmh (73 mph)</p><p>One of the benefits of monobob for the athletes is that they no longer have to depend on teammates or fear letting them down. </p><p>"If I crash, it's just me," <a href="https://olympics.com/en/news/what-is-the-new-olympic-monobob-event-that-will-feature-at-beijing-2022">said Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian of Jamaica</a>. "There's not the concern that there is in two-woman, when you're responsible for the other person as a pilot. Every time you take a small tap, you're like 'I'm so sorry,' but when you're alone, you just brush it off."</p><p>Driving a monobob is pretty straightforward. Inside the sled are two "D-rings" attached to the front ski-like runners. If you want to turn right, you pull back on the right D-ring, and if you want to turn left, you pull on the left one.</p><div type="image" title="Monobob" height="458" width="885" msid="89392247" hostid="261"></div><p>The monobob also gives Team USA another shot at a gold medal as Humphries is one of the favorites, having won the gold in the first monobob world championship in 2021.

The Elon Musk-owned company has the approval to set up a total of 12,000 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/musks-starlink-satellites-are-leaving-tracks-that-affect-twilight-observations/articleshow/88965909.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Starlink satellites</a> to provide broadband connectivity. But the growing number of satellites not just from SpaceX but other companies too is a growing concern for astronomers. <br /><br />The satellite-crowded space can affect astronomical observations, and to help work on this issue, the <a href="https://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau2201/" data-type="tilCustomLink">International Astronomical Union</a> (<keyword id="6358563" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="iau" source="Orion">IAU</keyword>) has launched the IAU Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from <keyword id="2348710" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="satellite-constellation" source="Orion">Satellite Constellation</keyword> Interference. This centre is aimed at helping solve these issues with not just astronomers but satellite operators from different countries. <br /><br />“The IAU embraces the principle of a dark and radio-quiet sky, not only as essential to advancing our understanding of the Universe of which we are a part, but also for the cultural heritage of all humanity and for the protection of nocturnal wildlife,” the IAU said in a statement.<br /><br />Satellite constellations can affect astronomical observations since they reflect sunlight and leave bright streaks of light. Astronomers observing the night sky for any object can be disturbed by these light streaks. This concern was particularly raised by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) at the Palomar Observatory, California which said that twilight observations are getting affected by the bright appearance of the <keyword id="7626623" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="starlink-satellites" source="Orion">Starlink satellites</keyword>. This could make it difficult to search for objects like comets and asteroids.<br /><br />The IAU hopes that this centre will help in addressing matters concerning the growing number of satellite constellations. It will provide information and resources regarding the “negative impact of satellite constellations on ground-based optical and radio astronomy observations as well as humanity’s enjoyment of the night sky.”<br /><br />The centre has already received positive feedback from other astronomical organisations including Britain’s Royal Astronomical Society (RAS). Members of the centre are primarily located in Tucson, Arizona, USA, and Jodrell Bank, near Manchester, United Kingdom but it will cater to institutions and individuals globally. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:</strong><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/bitcoin-ethereum-cardano-and-others-are-making-a-comeback/slidelist/89395672.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Bitcoin is trying to make a comeback as it holds above ₹31 lakh</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/news/monobob-is-the-winter-olympics-newest-rocket-on-ice-sport-and-it-is-only-for-women/articleshow/89392295.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Monobob is the Winter Olympics' newest rocket-on-ice sport and it is only for women</a><br />
