Introduction to Dark Energy What is Dark Energy? Dark energy is a mysterious and pervasive form of energy that is believed to constitute approximately 68% of the total energy content of the universe. Unlike ordinary matter and dark matter, dark energy does not clump together in galaxies or clusters but is uniformly distributed throughout space. […]
Scientists prepare message to beam into space but say humanity won’t survive to hear it – Daily Star
Scientists are currently preparing to send a message to space with the hope that they will be able to contact aliens. The message is going to be sent to a cluster of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy which sits between 6,500 and 19,500 light years away from Earth. The experiment is trying to answer […]
Space flight changes first-timer’s brains, but not veterans
There has been a bunch of research done Juan Piantino who works at the OHSU School of Medicine about how a space flight can change someone’s brain. The research of this study dealt with looking at images of 15 different astronauts brains before and after they went on a tour of the International Space Station. […]
Antimatter and Fusion: The Propulsion Duo Powering Tomorrow’s Spacecraft
Introduction to Antimatter and Fusion Propulsion The Need for Advanced Space Propulsion As humanity sets its sights on exploring the far reaches of our solar system and beyond, the limitations of current propulsion technologies become increasingly apparent. Traditional chemical rockets, while reliable, are inefficient for long-duration missions due to their low specific impulse and high […]
Our Galaxy Is on a Collision Course. And It’s Not the First Time
Taking place in the next few billion years is a cosmic event that will change all that are still living within the two galaxies. The Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy are on a collision course that will take millions of years to complete. It will start around 2 billion years from now. There […]
International Astronomical Union launches new center to fight satellite megaconstellation threat
In response to the threat of satellite mega-constellations, the IAU has launched the Center for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference. Observatories are seeing their work threatened by satellite interference, which is now a bigger problem than urban light pollution. Soon there will be over 5,000 satellites above the […]
Exploring Planets Virtually: How VR is Expanding Our Knowledge of Other Worlds
Introduction to Virtual Reality in Space Exploration The Evolution of VR Technology Virtual Reality (VR) has come a long way since its inception. The concept of VR dates back to the mid-20th century, with early attempts like the Sensorama, a machine that provided a multi-sensory experience. However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the term […]
Rogue black hole spotted on its own for the first time
For the first time, astronomers have detected and measured the mass of an isolated black hole. When giant stars reach the end of their lives, they explode in a supernova and their cores become black holes. Stellar-mass black holes (which are much smaller than supermassive black holes) have previously only been found when coupled with […]
Harvard Professor’s Plan To Click World’s First High-Res Images Of UFO In Two Years
Harvard Professor Avi Loeb, has a goal of getting clear images of UFOs, unlike the typical blurry image or video. He has setup the Galileo Project which is a global network of cameras, telescopes, and computers aimed at capturing images of alien life. He believes that alien life is real, with advanced technology we cannot […]
Parallel Realities: A Scientific Inquiry into Multiverse Theories
Introduction to Multiverse Theories Defining the Multiverse The multiverse is a hypothetical collection of multiple, possibly infinite, universes that coexist alongside our own. These universes, often referred to as “parallel universes” or “alternate realities,” may follow different physical laws, contain different histories, and even host different versions of ourselves. The concept of the multiverse challenges […]
