In a landmark achievement, a research team at the University of Rochester has demonstrated, for the first time, the creation of a tiny engineered region of spacetime in which information appears to propagate 1.4 times faster than light—yet without breaking the fundamental tenets of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. By using specially fabricated metamaterials… Read More »
In one of the most extraordinary discoveries in modern astronomy, scientists have observed the largest and brightest flare ever detected from a black hole — a cosmic explosion so powerful that it released light equivalent to 10 trillion suns. The spectacular event was observed in a distant galaxy located nearly 10 billion light-years away,… Read More »
A new discovery has stirred the space and science community this week — mysterious radio signals have been detected coming from SpaceX’s classified Starshield satellite network, a system reportedly built for the U.S. military. The finding has sparked questions about potential violations of international telecom regulations and what the true purpose of these transmissions might… Read More »
As the calendar turns to November, the skies above us are gearing up for one of the year’s most anticipated spectacles: the Leonids meteor shower. From November 6 to December 2, Earth is passing through a stream of debris left behind by the comet 55P/Tempel–Tuttle, and the result is a night-sky show you won’t want… Read More »
Imagine boarding a colossal spacecraft, a true floating city, destined not just for a trip—but for a four-century journey to another star system. That’s the vision behind Chrysalis, a proposed 36-mile-long generation ship designed to carry 1,500–2,400 people on a one-way voyage to the potentially habitable exoplanet Proxima Centauri b, located about 4.24 light-years from… Read More »
The skies may be coming alive over the next couple of nights. Scientists at the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have issued a G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm watch for November 6–7, 2025. What triggered this and what to expect On November 4, the sun erupted… Read More »
About 578 light-years away from Earth, astronomers recently uncovered a planet that’s rewriting what we thought we knew about worlds beyond our solar system. Meet TOI‑4507 b — a giant ball of gas that defies nearly every rule we’ve developed for how planets form and evolve. First, let’s talk numbers. TOI-4507 b orbits a… Read More »
