The Sun completes one orbit around the Milky Way every 230 million years at 448,000 mph. It may be surprising, but just like Earth orbits the Sun, our entire solar system, including the Sun, is on a journey through the Milky Way. Our solar system is orbiting the galaxy’s supermassive black hole at the center,…
X-37B spaceplane’s aerobraking maneuvers could lower orbit without using much fuel. After spending over nine months in an unusual elliptical orbit, the US military’s secretive X-37B spaceplane is preparing to gradually lower its altitude using a process called aerobraking. This maneuver will enable the spaceplane to reduce its speed by passing through the thin layers…
As it’s so close to Earth, Mars is the planet that humans will most likely step foot on and explore first. Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) has introduced a groundbreaking thermal nuclear engine design that could drastically shorten the time it takes for astronauts to travel to Mars. This innovative engine could carry a crew…
Some scientists believe black holes might be wormholes, offering shortcuts through space and time A team of physicists from Sofia University in Bulgaria has proposed a fascinating theory that wormholes, hypothetical tunnels linking different parts of the universe, could be hiding in plain sight. These wormholes may resemble black holes so closely that current technology…
Scientists achieved a record-breaking 10 quadrillion-watt energy burst using 192 giant lasers Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have achieved a groundbreaking result in nuclear fusion by generating an energy burst of more than 10 quadrillion watts. This was accomplished by using 192 giant lasers to target a tiny hydrogen pellet, releasing…
Astronomers Confirm Einstein’s Theory as Star Near Milky Way’s Black Hole Shows Unusual Orbit Pattern A recent discovery has provided strong evidence supporting Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This confirmation comes from the behavior of a high-speed star named S2, which orbits the supermassive black hole located at the center of the Milky Way…
A recent study has revealed that nearly half of black holes that consume stars during tidal disruption events (TDEs) later emit remnants of those stars, sometimes years after the initial event. TDEs occur when a star ventures too close to a black hole, where the black hole’s gravitational pull exerts intense tidal forces. This results…
Melanin Uses Quantum Reactions to Defend Eyes from Harmful Substances, Slowing Down Vision Loss with Age Every flash of light that reaches our eyes impacts the delicate tissues in the retina, creating toxic by-products that could harm the cells responsible for vision. Fortunately, melanin, the pigment that darkens our skin, hair, and eyes, plays a…
Imagine being on a planet around a star on the far ends of the warp. Great view of the rest of the galaxy! TL;DR Scientists have created a detailed 3D map of the Milky Way, revealing that our galaxy is warped into an S-shape. By analyzing over 2,400 Cepheid stars, researchers found that the galaxy…
Scientists Unveil Brain’s Multi-Dimensional Network, Offering New Insights Into Memory Storage and Processing TL;DR Researchers from the Blue Brain Project have discovered that the brain processes information using intricate, multi-dimensional geometric structures. These shapes, formed by neurons, extend up to eleven dimensions, offering a new perspective on how the brain functions. The team used advanced…
