Nearly 80% of the matter in the universe is dark matter, a mysterious substance that doesn’t interact with light. But what *does* interact with light, and travels across interstellar space, offering a glimpse into the building blocks of other solar systems? The recent observations of comet 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar comet discovered, are providing just … Read more
Nearly one in three people globally have witnessed a meteor, but the odds of one impacting a moving vehicle – let alone a brand new Tesla – are astronomically low. Yet, that’s precisely what happened recently in Australia, as reported by multiple news outlets (LADbible, IFLScience, News.com.au, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Daily Mail). This seemingly isolated … Read more
SpaceX’s Starlink: Beyond Global Internet – The Dawn of Space-Based Infrastructure Just five years after welcoming its first customer, SpaceX has launched its 100th successful Starlink mission in 2025, deploying a total of over 10,000 satellites. But this isn’t simply about providing internet access to underserved areas anymore. This milestone signals the beginning of a … Read more
The Looming Shadow of Interstellar Objects: Beyond 3I/ATLAS and the Future of Planetary Defense Recent accusations leveled by Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb against NASA – alleging a deliberate withholding of crucial data regarding the comet 3I/ATLAS – aren’t simply about one icy visitor. They represent a growing tension between scientific transparency, the potential for groundbreaking … Read more
