    After the successful launch of the full Starship (Ship + Booster) and subsequent safe landing of the booster, Starship experienced a full "Rapid Unplanned Disassembly". Per Elon Musk: "Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that...

    C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

    Hello folks. This October, a comet by the name Tsuchinshan–ATLAS entered the inner solar system and is visible from Earth. Now, I did not have a chance to see the comet due to light pollution and I do not get outside that much. However, the images of the comet show just how beautiful our solar...

    Kugelblitz: Black Holes made from Light + Power Source for Hesalian Ships

    Hello folks. Today, we will discuss the Kugelblitz, which is a hypothetical phenomenon in physics where a massive amount of energy, like a huge burst of light, collapses into a tiny space, creating a miniature black hole. This miniature black hole would have incredibly strong gravity, pulling...

    Laser Beams in Space: They are invisible

    Hello folks. Yesterday I have learned something about lasers. If one were to turn on a laser in a vacuum (such as in space), it would be impossible to see the beam of light, except where the light touches an object, no matter how powerful the laser is. In 2021, scientists made lasers visible in...

    Xanadu & Hesalia (Alien planets)

    Hello folks. Here are two CGI images of planets that I made back in 2017 and 2018 or so, of Xanadu and Hesalia. Xanadu is the third planet of the Hesal system, roughly a few hundred miles (km) smaller than Earth. Hesalia is the fourth planet of the Hesal system, about 60% the size of Earth...

    Voyager 1 transmitting data again after NASA remotely fixes 46-year-old probe

    So, @essentialsaltes posted a few months ago how the Voyager 1 probe had a computer issue. Now, that issue has been fixed. Seems that the old probe just wants to keep on trucking. And yes, the 22 hours 30 minutes it takes for a signal to reach Voyager 1 are converted into days (0.94 days) for...

    New moons discovered orbiting Uranus & Neptune

    This news is slightly old, as three new moons were discovered in 2023, one orbiting Uranus, and two orbiting Neptune. These moons are tiny compared to Earth's moons, but will allow scientists to learn more about how the early solar system formed. @sjastro and @Astrophile might find this stuff...

    Injuries at SpaceX go unnoticed until now

    Hello folks. Space is one of my favorite subjects, and I hope that in the future, humans can return to the Moon or eventually take a round-trip to Mars, after solving societal issues on Earth first. One such societal issue has not been solved: Corporate negligence. There has been recent news...

    The Ontological Observation of God

    As this is the only Christian discussion thread I can post in on this site, I am posting here. I wanted to share my article, of which I have written on the "Ontological Observation of God" for the encouragement of others and to inspire thought. In this article I break down just "what...

    Have you considered the distances in the universe? Galaxies are close!

    Sure the distances between stars are immense with the nearest one 4.3 light years away, a distance we can't even imagine. What is interesting though is that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 100,000 light years in diameter. We're about 1/4 out from its center. The Earth rotates, it revolves...

    God does not evolve, His power does (selah) - predictable change is possible

    Hi there, So this won't help Evolutionists much, at least not at first, because it talks about a limitation on what can change - because of the parameters of the possible changes (that are limited). The point how ever Evolutionists will probably grasp more intensely than Creationists, at first...

    Plasma physics experiments in space - English subtitles.

    The actual video is only about 5 minutes long and it repeats itself. The first half includes the Russian commentary as well as the English subtitles, and the 'replay' omits the sound entirely. The three most interesting observations are the formation of 'crystal like' features in the dusty...

    Achilles caught up with the Turtle, which revealed the masses of all neutrino

    Zero distance (or zero time interval) is not a distance at all, but a contact. Therefore, there is the minimum possible distance. Does Achilles catch up with the Turtle in Zeno's paradox? Yes, if there is a minimum non-zero distance: then the sum of the lengths (as long as Achilles catches up...

    American dominance in space

    I applaud any country or private enterprise that is about advancing the human endeavour for space exploration. Is a country seeking to dominate space a good thing for the human race? 'We must have American dominance in space': Trump launches new military 'Space Force'
