Voyager 1 Is Detecting a ‘Hum’ of Plasma Waves in The Void of Interstellar Space
Voyager 1, having spent over 43 years zooming away from Earth since its 1977 launch, is now a very long way away indeed. #Voyager #space #astronomy Its distance from the Sun is over 150 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. It takes over 21 hours for transmissions traveling at light speed to arrive at Earth. It officially passed the heliopause – the boundary at which pressure from the solar wind is no longer sufficient to push into the wind from interstellar space – in 2012. Voyager 1 has left the Solar System – and it’s finding that the … Continue reading Voyager 1 Is Detecting a ‘Hum’ of Plasma Waves in The Void of Interstellar Space
Could the Next Space Station Be a Hotel?
Commercializing space is no longer a far-out idea. In fact, NASA is fully on board. #space #spacehotel #hotel #spacestation In 1967, Barron Hilton, the future head of Hilton Hotels Corp., turned up at an American Astronautical Society meeting devoted to “outer space tourism.” The first moon landing was still two years out, but Hilton wasn’t going to be late to the next big travel market. At the conference, he laid out plans for Earth-orbiting Hiltons and lunar hotels, complete with Galaxy Lounges where guests might “enjoy a martini and the stars.” Alas, humans would have to wait decades for an outer-space outpost, and the one they … Continue reading Could the Next Space Station Be a Hotel?
Quantum Entanglement Has Now Been Directly Observed at a Larger Macroscopic Scale
Quantum entanglement is the binding together of two particles or objects, even though they may be far apart – their respective properties are linked in a way that’s not possible under the rules of classical physics. It’s a weird phenomenon that Einstein described as “spooky action at a distance“, but its weirdness is what makes it so fascinating to scientists. In new research, quantum entanglement has been directly observed and recorded at the macroscopic scale – a scale much bigger than the subatomic particles normally associated with entanglement. The dimensions involved are still very small from our perspective – these experiments involved two tiny aluminum … Continue reading Quantum Entanglement Has Now Been Directly Observed at a Larger Macroscopic Scale
China’s rogue Long March 5B rocket debris lands in Indian Ocean: report
The reported landing ended days of speculation about where and when the debris would hit Earth. Michio Kaku details the impending rocket crash due to take place this weekend on ‘Your World’ with Neil Cavuto The remnants of China’s rogue Long March 5B rocket reportedly landed in the Indian Ocean on Sunday — late Saturday night Eastern U.S. time — after its uncontrolled descent was tracked around the world over the past week. Reuters reported the landing, citing information from the Chinese government. In addition, U.S. Space Command retweeted a post by Space-Track.org, indicating the rocket debris had landed. Earlier Saturday, the Space Force’s 18th … Continue reading China’s rogue Long March 5B rocket debris lands in Indian Ocean: report
CHINA’S FALLING ROCKET: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUT-OF-CONTROL LONG MARCH 5B HITS THE EARTH?
For an uncontrolled re-entry event, it is not possible to accurately predict where the object or parts of the object will fall The Long March 5B rocket is falling back to Earth after launching part of China’s next space station. The 30-meter long rocket entered orbital velocity, meaning it is now traveling around the world every 90 minutes – too fast for space agencies to tell where it is going to land. Last year, a similar prototype craft came within 13 minutes of hitting New York City. The craft was eventually confirmed by the US Space Force’s 18th Space Control Squadron to have landed in the … Continue reading CHINA’S FALLING ROCKET: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUT-OF-CONTROL LONG MARCH 5B HITS THE EARTH?

Life on the Planet Mercury? ‘It’s Not Completely Nuts’
A new explanation for the rocky world’s jumbled landscape opens a possibility that it could have had ingredients for habitability. Mercury — a planet with a surface hot enough to melt lead — might once have contained ingredients needed for life. Though that’s a pretty big might. The new theory, published last week in the journal Scientific Reports, is based on a particularly muddled feature on the planet orbiting closest to the sun, known as “chaotic terrain.” Here, the cracked, uneven and jumbled landscape consists of fractured rock, mismatched peaks and collapsed craters. “Think of a kid throwing up a bunch … Continue reading Life on the Planet Mercury? ‘It’s Not Completely Nuts’
Some Viruses Have a Completely Different Genome to The Rest of Life on Earth
In the world of microbial warfare, sometimes you have to change the very fabric of who you are. Viruses that infect bacteria – fittingly called bacteriophages – and their prey have been at war for eons, each side evolving more devilish tactics to infect or destroy each other. Eventually, some bacteriophages took this arms race to a new level by changing the way they code their DNA. At least, that’s what we think happened. Once thought to be an outlier, new research published in three separate papers shows that there’s a whole army of bacteriophages with non-standard DNA, which researchers call a … Continue reading Some Viruses Have a Completely Different Genome to The Rest of Life on Earth
Huge Chinese rocket falling back to Earth in uncontrolled reentry
Projectile currently orbiting Earth every 90 minutes after space station launch A huge Chinese rocket is set to fall back to earth in an uncontrolled re-entry after a space station launch. The 21-ton Long March 5B rocket carried a module of China’s new space station into low Earth orbit last week. But the 30-meter long rocket itself also reached orbit and will now become one of the largest ever launchers to make an uncontrolled reentry, according to SpaceNews.com. Experts say that most expendable rockets do not reach a velocity that would take them into orbit and they normally reenter the atmosphere and land in a known reentry … Continue reading Huge Chinese rocket falling back to Earth in uncontrolled reentry
Did Nikola Tesla Unintentionally Detect Signals From Another Civilization?
An eccentric genius and a man in every respect extraordinary was born on the night of 9/10 of July, 1856 in the Croatian village of Smiljan, a village near Gospic Lika, (the Krajina, a military district of Austro-Hungarian Empire, now in the Republic of Croatia). “A purpose was behind these signals… They are the results of an attempt by some human beings, not of this world; to speak to us by signals.” – Nikola Tesla According to messagetoeagle.com, this event took place at the stroke of midnight “with lightning striking during a summer storm”. Because of the unusual moment of his birth, … Continue reading Did Nikola Tesla Unintentionally Detect Signals From Another Civilization?
Proxima Centauri shoots out humongous flare, with big implications for alien life
The flare was around 100 times more powerful than those emitted by the sun. Scientists have spotted one of the largest stellar flares ever recorded in our galaxy. The jets of plasma shot outward from the sun’s nearest neighbor, the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. The flare, which was around 100 times more powerful than any experienced in our solar system, could change the way scientists think about solar radiation and alien life. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf — the smallest, dimmest and most common type of main sequence stars in the galaxy — located approximately 4.25 light-years from Earth. Its mass is … Continue reading Proxima Centauri shoots out humongous flare, with big implications for alien life

A new ‘Einstein’ equation suggests wormholes hold key to quantum gravity
ER=EPR summarizes new clues to understanding entanglement and spacetime There’s a new equation floating around the world of physics these days that would make Einstein proud. It’s pretty easy to remember: ER=EPR. You might suspect that to make this equation work, P must be equal to 1. But the symbols in this equation stand not for numbers, but for names. E, you probably guessed, stands for Einstein. R and P are initials — for collaborators on two of Einstein’s most intriguing papers. Combined in this equation, these letters express a possible path to reconciling Einstein’s general relativity with quantum mechanics. … Continue reading A new ‘Einstein’ equation suggests wormholes hold key to quantum gravity

Pentagon UFO report: They ‘acknowledged the reality,’ whistleblower says
Luis Elizondo on blockbuster document on UFOs, UAPs slated for June release The U.S. government is actually gearing up to share information about the “reality” of UFOs with the public — and not a moment too soon, says the man who claims to have run the Pentagon’s UFO program for 9 years. Former President Donald Trump’s $2.3 trillion appropriation bill for 2021 contained a mandate that the Pentagon and spy agencies must file a report about “unidentified aerial phenomena” or UAP. Most of us just call them flying saucers or UFOs. Whatever the jargon, noted whistleblower Luis Elizondo — former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which operated … Continue reading Pentagon UFO report: They ‘acknowledged the reality,’ whistleblower says
The Nuclear Powered Mars Express
By 2035, NASA wants to land humans on Mars. But reaching the red planet, which is around 184 million kilometres from Earth, will be a mammoth feat. Colder than Antarctica and with little to no oxygen, Mars is a hostile environment. The longer it takes astronauts to get there and the longer they stay, the more they are at risk. That’s why scientists are looking at ways to reduce trip time. Seattle-based company Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies (USNC-Tech) has proposed a solution: a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engine that could get humans from Earth to Mars in just three months. … Continue reading The Nuclear Powered Mars Express

There was debate online regarding the meteor’s origin Southern Florida residents were stunned to see a meteor blazing through the darkness Monday night, with some sharing footage of the spectacle on social media. Dashcam and security video revealed the quick, bright flash of light as the meteor streaked through the Earth’s atmosphere. In a matter of seconds, the fireball had disappeared from sight. At 10:16 p.m. ET, a doorbell camera looking out on a back patio in Parkland showed how the sky lit up and a Coral Springs Twitter user with a Nest camera recorded a different angle of its descent. “Did you happen to see a meteor … Continue reading Meteor blazes across South Florida skies
First Flight of a powered aircraft on another planet a “Wright brothers moment”
After overcoming an earlier software glitch, NASA’s $80 million Ingenuity helicopter spun up its carbon-composite rotors and lifted off the dusty surface of Mars early Monday to become the first aircraft to fly on another planet, a “Wright brothers moment” that could pave the way to future interplanetary aircraft. Tipping the scales at just 4 pounds — 1.5 pounds in the lower gravity of Mars — Ingenuity’s counter-rotating 4-foot-long rotors, spinning at more than 2,500 rpm, were commanded to change their pitch, “biting” deeper into the thin atmosphere for a liftoff from the floor of Jezero Crater around 3:30 a.m. EDT. With the Perseverance … Continue reading First Flight of a powered aircraft on another planet a “Wright brothers moment”

SETI project homes in on strange ‘fast radio bursts’
Recent observations of a mysterious and distant object that emits intermittent bursts of radio waves so bright that they’re visible across the universe provide new data about the source but fail to clear up the mystery of what causes them. The observations by the Breakthrough Listen team at UC Berkeley using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia show that the fast radio bursts from this object, called FRB 121102, are nearly 100 percent linearly polarized and highly twisted, an indication that the source of the bursts is embedded in strong magnetic fields like those around a … Continue reading SETI project homes in on strange ‘fast radio bursts’
