The Athena Lunar Lander Also Fell Over on its Side The Athena lunar lander (IM-2) has been declared dead after it failed to stick the landing on the surface of the Moon. The second commercial lander launched by Texas-based aerospace company Rotating Black Holes are Packed with Energy. Here's How to Unlock It Catching t

Could the Clues to Ancient Alien Civilizations Be Hiding in a Bucket of Moon Dust?
22+ hour, 10+ min ago (140+ words) Most of our experience with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been focused on capturing radio signals that alien species have sent out, whether intentionally or unintentionally. That creates a huge “synchronicity” problem - what if there aren’t any alien…...
A New Design For A Plasma Engine Fuels On Only Thin Air
1+ day, 23+ hour ago (134+ words) Choosing what orbit to put a satellite in always comes with trade-offs. When it comes to Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), between 100-450 km, there are distinct advantages. Remote sensing cameras can take better pictures, comms and radar require less power,…...
Dense Galaxies Are Carving Out A Bubble in the Early Universe
2+ day, 12+ hour ago (185+ words) Light could only travel freely in the Universe after cosmic reionization. Before that, neutral hydrogen stopped photons from travelling. The JWST has found evidence of an overdensity of galaxies carving out a bubble of reionization. Is this how it all…...
Unexplained Gamma-Rays from the Galactic Center Could be from Self-Annihilating Dark Matter
3+ day, 15+ hour ago (417+ words) In 2009, astronomers using the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered an excess of energy in the Milky Way's galactic center. Deep observations found no source for the energy, called the Galactic Center GeV Excess (GCE). What's generating it? Research in Physical…...
Astronomers Unmask a Supernova Impostor
4+ day, 15+ hour ago (862+ words) A distant star has captured astronomers' attention over the past decade, teasing them with indications that it will soon explode as a supernova. But new research shows that something else entirely is behind the star's outbursts. Rather than an impending…...
Widespread Turbulence is Upsetting Star Formation in Stephan's Quintet
4+ day, 18+ hour ago (641+ words) Astronomers refine their understanding of gas movement by observing it in more types of environments, and in more complex environments. Researchers in Japan recently used CO observations to map gas in an especially complex and unique environment: Stephan's Quintet. The…...
Next-Gen Gravitational Wave Detectors Could Spot the First Black Holes
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (157+ words) A few hundred million years after the Big Bang, the first stars ignited - literally the “let there be light” moment for the universe. Now known to astronomers as Population III, or Pop III, stars, these giants were very different from…...
Scientists Are Still Trying To Understand How the Moon Formed
5+ day, 17+ hour ago (543+ words) The Giant Impact Hypothesis says that about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized world named Theia slammed into the young Earth. The cataclysmic impact sent debris into a torus orbiting Earth, and out of that material the Moon formed. The hypothesis…...
Some Black Holes Grow Much Faster Than Their Galaxies
5+ day, 20+ hour ago (222+ words) Some eROSITA quasars in this study. The eight exceptional black hole are at the upper left of the figure. Credit: Buchner, et al In short, these giant black holes are eating themselves out of house and home. One distinct feature…...
A Pair of White Dwarfs Locked in a Six-Minute Orbit Might One Day Be Observed By Gravitational Waves
1+ week, 19+ hour ago (31+ words) Future gravitational wave observatories will be able to see the gravitational waves of close-orbiting binary stars. A newly studied white dwarf system could be one of the first systems we observe....
