Eerie Stars of 'Dark Matter' May Be Behind Largest Gravitational Wave Detection Yet
On 21 May 2019, from a distance of 7 billion light-years away, our gravitational wave detectors were rocked by the most massive collision yet. From analysis of the signal, astronomers concluded that the detection was the result of two black holes s
A 1990s iMac Processor Powers NASA’s Perseverance Rover
As we watched NASA put a rover on Mars last month, it definitely seemed like the agency had to be using some sort of high-tech processor in its machine. Surely the rover is built on something much more powerful than the components in devices us civilians use, right? But while NASA is technically using a specialized processor to power the Perseverance rover, it’s not far removed from the world of consumer electronics—about 23 years ago.

🚀 SpaceX's SN10 Test Flight Highlights
Three Raptors (engines) relit. Shutdown one. Flip complete. Shutdown another. Landed on one as intended. Landing legs seemed to be an issue, but landed on the pad. Test was deemed extremely successful. SN10 later exploded on the pad likely due to a Methane leak however SpaceX are very satisfied with the data gained from the test. We look forward to future test flights.

Engineers Have Proposed The First Model For a Physically Possible Warp Drive
The idea of a warp drive taking us across large areas of space faster than the speed of light has long fascinated scientists and sci-fi fans alike. While we're still a very long way from jumping any universal speed limits, that doesn't mean we'll n
This Exoplanet May Be Our Best Chance of 'Seeing' The Atmosphere of an Alien World
Named Gliese 486 b, the exoplanet is a rocky world that astronomers think could be similar to Venus - rocky, hot, and possibly sporting an atmosphere (although it would be a lot thinner than Venus'). And it meets all the criteria that we look for when trying to find exoplanetary atmospheres to probe with the next generation of telescopes.
