What were the choir singing in the now viral misheard Coronation moment?
During the King’s Coronation, a choir sang a song for the new Queen Camilla and everyone is saying the same thing about what it sounds like. On Saturday 6 May, King Charles III was officially crowned alongside The Queen, Camilla at a ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London. The ceremony, steeped in tradition and ritual, featured many musical interludes from various choirs and it was during one song that people thought they heard the word “vagina” being sung. In a viral TikTok clip by @the_two_games, which has been viewed over 29 million times, Camilla could be seen inside the abbey slowly making her way down an aisle between a choir whose members stood on either side. Text overlaying the clip read, “Please tell me you hear ‘I LIKE VAGINA CAMILLA’” and the person filming the TV could be heard laughing in the background. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter @the_two_games I LIKE VAGINA CAMILLA! #coronation #kingcharles #comedy #fyp #england #king #camilla #camillaparkerbowles It’s safe to say that the TikToker who shared the post wasn’t the only person to mishear to song. Someone else commented: “I was thinking that too when I watched it.” Another said: “I CAN HEAR IT TOO.” “I thought I was the only one that thought this when I watched it live,” one comment read. On Twitter, others said the NSFW words were firmly stuck in their head. Someone tweeted: “After 14 vodkas ‘I like vagina Camilla is on a loop in my head and I can’t stop laughing.” Obviously, the choir was not singing about vagina, but was instead singing the words “Vivat Regina Camila!”. This means, “Long Live Queen Camilla” in Latin. Mystery solved. Have your say in our news democracy.

We can put solar farms in space, scientists announce
A new experiment demonstrates that commercial solar farms in space could one day be possible, according to the researchers behind it. Scientists from the UK say that a satellite launched into space to test the opportunities to gather sunlight for power has shown more success than expected. The experiment showed that it was possible to make lightweight solar panels at low cost that would be able to work in space, researchers said. They sent one of those units into space and examined how it worked over a period of six years and 30,000 orbits. It was able to withstand the solar radiation and other damage of space, they said, and continue generating power. “We are very pleased that a mission designed to last one year is still working after six. These detailed data show the panels have resisted radiation and their thin-film structure has not deteriorated in the harsh thermal and vacuum conditions of space,” said Craig Underwood from the University of Surrey, “This ultra-low mass solar cell technology could lead to large, low-cost solar power stations deployed in space, bringing clean energy back to Earth – and now we have the first evidence that the technology works reliably in orbit.” The panels were made at the University of Swansea, and used a new kind of solar cell made out of cadmium telluride. That material allows for larger panels at lighter weights, which provide more power and are relatively cheap. Colleagues at the University of Surrey then built those panels into a satellite that could be delivered to space, as well as the technology to measure how they continued to perform once they were in orbit. Those measurements showed that the panels gradually became less efficient, but researchers say they nonetheless showed that the panels could eventually be commercially viable. Solar farms in space would overcome many of the problems with existing renewable infrastructure on Earth. The solar farms could allow for more space on the ground, but more notably would be able to avoid issues caused by weather and benefit from more intense sunlight than there is on the surface. Making units that are able to withstand the difficulties of space is just one of a number of challenges for solar farms in space. There would also need to be a way to get the energy back down to us, for instance – though this summer researchers were able to successfully beam power down to Earth using microwaves. A study describing the findings, ‘IAC-22-C3.3.8 Six years of spaceflight results from the AlSat-1N Thin-Film Solar Cell (TFSC) experiment’, is published in the journal Acta Astronautica.
