Introduction to Dark Matter What is Dark Matter? Dark matter is a mysterious and invisible form of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional telescopic means. Despite its elusive nature, dark matter is believed to constitute approximately 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy content. Unlike […]
NASA shares concerns about SpaceX’s new generation of Starlink satellites
In a five-page letter to the FCC, NASA expressed concerns about SpaceX’s new satellites. There are currently about 1,800 Starlink satellites in orbit, and SpaceX has submitted a proposal to launch 30,000 more. NASA is worried about collision risk and the fact that there would be would be fewer launch windows available. In addition, there […]
UFOs Explained – The Dilemma
With approximately 200 to 300 billion stars in our galaxy, the odds of intelligent life out there are very high. But the galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter and it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. It’s possible to imagine really advanced civilizations could possess the technology to traverse these […]
From Dust to Galaxies: The Life Cycle of Cosmic Structures
Introduction to Cosmic Structures The Vastness of the Universe The universe is an almost incomprehensibly vast expanse, stretching over 93 billion light-years in diameter. It contains billions of galaxies, each with millions or even billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects. This immense scale challenges our understanding and imagination, making the study of […]
Epsilon Algorithms to Search for Life as We Don’t Know It to Cosmic Ruins at Milky Way’s Edge (The Galaxy Report)
There is a new strategy that a few people at the California Institute of Technology are trying to implement to make it much easier for us to possibly detect life outside our system. This is called an Epsilon machine. Another possibility is that the James Webb telescope will give us some sort of insight of […]
Elon Musk shows off massive Starship, the world’s tallest rocket, ahead of SpaceX update
SpaceX has reassembled the world’s tallest rocket, and Elon Musk has posted pictures of it on Twitter. The Starship rocket and the Super Heavy booster stand 395 feet tall. The Starship is a stainless-steel rocket that has been tapped to land astronauts on the moon by around 2025. The Starship and its booster are expected […]
Predicting the Cosmos: AI Algorithms for Advanced Astronomical Research
Introduction to AI in Astronomy The Intersection of AI and Astronomy Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an indispensable tool in the field of astronomy, revolutionizing the way researchers analyze and interpret vast amounts of data. The integration of AI into astronomical research allows scientists to sift through enormous datasets generated by sky surveys and […]
We Have The First Direct Evidence of a White Dwarf Violently Ripping Apart a Planet
A white dwarf has finally been observed devouring a planet. This scientific feat was achieved by studying x-ray light emitted from a white dwarf, and this x-ray light formed as a result of a planet colliding into the white dwarf. Past observations of the atmospheres of white dwarves were conducted using spectroscopic analysis, which involves […]
Astronomers Find 70 Planets Without Stars Floating Free in the Milky Way
We have found over 70 planets that do not have a star to orbit. We are calling those rouge planets. One of the interesting things about them is that they are not orbiting anything. One issue with it not being close to a star is that it’s hard to get data from it because we […]
The Expanding Universe: Insights into Cosmic Acceleration
Introduction to Cosmic Acceleration Understanding the Expanding Universe The concept of an expanding universe is fundamental to modern cosmology. It posits that the universe has been growing ever since the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This expansion is not like an explosion from a central point but rather a stretching of space […]
