New planet in our solar system? Scientists find hidden body 5-7 times size of Earth that orbits Sun in 20,000 years. Astronomers are searching for a potential ninth planet, known as Planet Nine, which could reshape our understanding of planetary systems. The search, initiated in 2014, suggests this unseen planet may be 5-7 times larger than Earth and influence nearby objects in the Kuiper Belt.

The search for Planet Nine began in 2014. Astronomers Scott Sheppard and Chadwick Trujillo observed unusual orbital patterns. These patterns were noticed in icy Kuiper Belt objects beyond Neptune. Scientists suggest these movements could indicate an unseen massive planet. The search for Planet Nine began in 2014.

We may just be on the Brink of finding the real Planet Nine in our own solar system. If there’s a hidden world in the solar system, we all need a new telescope should find it.

Planet Nine.” If when it finally shows up, it'll get the honor of a real name, so far, evidence for this hypothetical planet is all indirect, as thousands of known planets orbiting other stars have found by observing their gravitational effects, rather than by actually seeing them, Planet Nine has been identified thks to way it apparently tugging on a variety of small bodies in outer solar system, pulling their orbits into lockstep patterns,
Planet nine orbits Sun @an average distance around 550 astronomical units (AU), or 550 times as far as Earth is from Sun. 

Some astronomers think that the body of evidence is already overwhelming. Others are not convinced. But nearly decade-long debate is reaching a critical point: New observatory is coming online that should give astronomers the chance to find it. If Planet Nine does exist, the chance to see it may be just around the corner. Astronomers think it has between five and 10 times Earth’s mass.

Nasa to fly world’s fastest object closer to Sun than ever be4. Space agency hopes Parker Solar Probe can get to heart of many of the mysteries of the Sun, including what powers the violent processes that keep us alive on Earth.

Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 with the hope of getting a close look at the Sun & helping answer some of those questions. Since its launch it has flown close to the Sun and examined the corona, or the layer of atmosphere on the outer edge that can be seen during a solar eclipse.

Now however it will begin potentially the most dramatic part of its mission, as it approaches the Sun more closely than ever before. On Tuesday, it will make its way through the atmosphere and reach within 6 million kilometres of the surface of the Sun. 

That means, it will be just 4% of the distance that usually lies between us & our star. Mission managers won’t know how Parker fared until days after the flyby since the spacecraft will be out of communication range.

But pushing such a large probe with a beam requires another design consideration – what type of beam?

Breakthrough Starshot is planning a laser beam, probably in the visible spectrum, that will push directly on light sails attached to the probe. However, given the current state of optical technology, this beam could only push effectively on the probe is ONLY around 0.1 AU of its journey, which totals more than 277,000 AU to Alpha Centauri.

Scientists reveal source of mysterious radio signal that travelled for 200 million years to reach Earth.

A mysterious radio blast from space detected in 2022 originated in the magnetic field of an ultra-dense neutron star 200 million light years away.
Known as fast radio bursts, or FRB, such brief stellar explosions last just a thousandth of a second but carry enough energy to sometimes outshine even entire galaxies

Radio burst lasted just 2 milliseconds. 
Astronomers have detected thousands of FRBs since the first of its kind was spotted in 2007 but exactly how these flares are launched into space isn’t entirely clear.

A new study published last week in the journal Nature focused on FRB 20221022A, a burst discovered in 2022, to find some answers.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US assessed the FRB’s brightness and estimated that it most likely originated from a neutron star’s magnetosphere, the highly magnetic region immediately surrounding it.

Chairman of Tau Zero's board, Jeffrey Greason, and Gerrit Bruhaug, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who specializes in laser physics, takes a look at the physics of one such beaming technology – a relativistic electron beam – how it might be used to push a spacecraft to another star.


There are plenty of considerations when designing this type of mission. One of the biggest of them (literally) is how heavy the spacecraft is.

Breakthrough Starshot focuses on a tiny design with gigantic solar "wings" that would allow them to ride a beam of light to Alpha Centauri. However, for practical purposes, a probe that small will be able to gather little to no actual information once it arrives there – it's more of a feat of engineering rather than an actual scientific mission.

The paper, on the other hand, looks at probe sizes up to about 1,000 kg – about the size of the Voyager probes built in the 1970s. Obviously, with more advanced technology, it would be possible to fit a lot more sensors and controls on them than what those systems had.

But pushing such a large probe with a beam requires another design consideration – what type of beam?.

Breakthrough Starshot is planning a laser beam, probably in the visible spectrum, that will push directly on light sails attached to the probe. However, given the current state of optical technology, this beam could only push effectively on the probe for around 0.1 AU of its journey, which totals more than 277,000 AU to Alpha Centauri.

1. [b]Even that minuscule amount of time might be enough to get a probe up to a respectable interstellar speed, but only if it's tiny and the laser beam doesn't fry it. At most, the laser would need to be turned on for only a short period of time to accelerate the probe to its cruising speed. A different approach to providing power for only a brief period of time, not do over a longer period? This allow more force to build up  to allow a much beefier probe to travel at respectable percentage of the speed of light. [/b]
   
2. [b]Here plenty of challenges with that kind of design as well. First would be beam spread – at distances more than 10 times the distance from Sun to Earth, how would such a beam be coherent enough to provide meaningful power?[/b]
   

Most of the paper goes into detail about this, focusing on relativistic electron beams. This mission concept, known as Sunbeam, would use just such a beam.

Utilizing electrons traveling at such high speeds has a couple of advantages. First, it's relatively easy to speed electrons upto around speed of light – at least compared to other particles. Since they all share same negative charge, will likely repel each other, diminishing the beam's effective push. discovered in particle accelerators known as relativistic pinch. Essentially, due to the time dilation of traveling at relativistic speeds, there isn't enough relative time experienced by the electrons to start pushing each other apart to any meaningful degree.

Calculations show such a beam could provide power out to 100 or even 1,000 AU, well past the point where any other known propulsion system would be able to have an impact. It shows at end of the beam powering period, a 1,000 kg probe can moving as fast as 10% of the speed of light – allowing it to reach Alpha Centauri in a little over 40 years.

Space mysteries: How does the ISS stay in orbit without falling to Earth?. News By Keith Cooper

The secret behind how the International Space Station remains in orbit can be traced all the way back to the genius of Sir Isaac Newton. How International Space Station (ISS) orbits high above our heads, yet the pull of Earth's gravity never hauls the complex out of orbit and sends it plummeting through our atmosphere, where it would burn up.

Here's a little secret: 
Here's a little secret: The ISS is always falling! Yet it never crashes to Earth or burns up in our atmosphere. How is this possible?

It sounds miraculous, but it is not a paradox or magic, simply the result of good old fashioned physics. It all comes down to the International Space Station's orbital velocity, its height above the ground, and the rate at which it is falling under gravity.
https://www.space.com/space-exploration/...g-to-earth

The science & mathematics behind what keeps ISS in orbit goes all the way back to father of gravitational theory, the 17th-century English scientist Sir Isaac Newton. Famously grumpy, Newton didn't come up with his theory of gravity from idly sitting & daydreaming beneath a tree while an apple fell on his head, as old story goes. He have observed apples, leaves & other things falling. To begin, let's think about falling apple. When its hanging on a branch, it stationary, so when it drops, gravity pulls it straight down. Suppose, though, that you pick the fallen apple up and then throw it like a ball, apple doesn't drop straight down like it did when it was stationary; now it has horizontal motion competing against gravity, it follows a curve down to ground.

Newton used the analogy of a cannonball, fired horizontally, following a similar curve back down to the ground. The size and shape of this curve depends upon the velocity of the cannonball and the amount of air resistance. The faster the cannonball and the lower the air resistance, the greater the distance the cannonball travels and the shallower the angle of the curve that the cannonball follows back to the ground.

So Newton theorized were a cannonball to be fired horizontally from a high enough mountaintop where the air is thin, and with enough velocity, then the curve of the cannonball downward under gravity would match the curvature of Earth. It would keep falling, following this curve, without losing altitude because the planet would be curving away from it at the same time. Scientists call the force acting on an object to keep it following such a curved path a centripetal force, which is always directed toward the center of curvature.

Height and velocityVelocity this is premise behind what keeps the ISS happily orbiting above our heads. It's a balance between the centripetal force directed toward center of Earth & the force of Earth's gravity that's constantly causing the ISS to undergo gravitational acceleration around its curved path. The rate at which the ISS falls as it follows its curved path equals the rate at which the curved surface of Earth drops away below it. This balance is achieved with certain combinations of height, orbital velocity. ISS orbits at a height of about 402 km, or 250 miles (we'll explain why we describe it "about" shortly) as is traveling at 7.6 km (4.7 miles) per second, which is the velocity required at this height in order to keep following the path that matches the curvature of Earth. Were the ISS orbiting Earth at a greater height, it would not need to travel as fast to maintain the rate of curvature of its fall. Were the ISS at a lower altitude, it would have to travel faster to avoid dropping into Earth's atmosphere and burning up...

NASA has once again pushed boundary with launch of its recent technological exploration called Project Icarus. In an ambitious attempt to find alien life, a spaceship will rocket across space at an astounding 1,000,000 kilometres per hour. 

Packaged with cutting-edge technology, spacecraft is setting out on a mission to investigate unexplored areas of the universe, raising the prospect of finding evidence of alien life.

The solar sail permits spacecraft to travel at high speeds, which, prior was perceived to be impossible. This marks it one of the fastest objects created by humankind to travel into space. It is said to travel at 1,000,000 kilometres per hour, it breaking records & if it is successful, it might open doors for further research into furthest regions of our galaxy and beyond.

Over ages, rocket technology has evolved dramatically. Chinese & Mongolians began developing rockets in 13th century, they began launching rocket-powered arrows at one another. Since then, a lot has changed. We now have ion engines, solid & liquid rocket propellants, & solar sails with more advanced technology. However, the idea & vision of solar sails are not new. In writings titled “Somnium”, renowned planetary motion scientist Johannes Kepler initially proposed in 17th century, sunlight maybe utilised to push spaceships, until 20th Century same concept was confirmed by scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky of Russia described basic idea behind how solar sails could actually function.

How NASA’s Project Icarus is Revolutionising Space Travel with..

 A Solar Sail Revolution, solar sail sounds more like a fictional movie or story found in novel, a reality we all living on earth, solar sails are a mysterious magnificent method crossing void space, use sun’s photons, or light from sun, to move spaceship forward. Unlike traditional fuels, solar sails do not require fuel or a tank with fuel in it. Solar sails depend on consistent push of solar radiation. Given, it lowers spacecraft mass & increases mission time, it presents huge benefit for long-term space exploration. With solar sail covering several hundred square meters, spacecraft used for Project Icarus is able to gather solar energy at an astounding rate. 

NASA was able to create a mission this propulsion system can rapidly go great distances, spaceship travelling at speed of 1,000,000 km per hour, which is faster than anything humankind has ever produced. 

Due to fact, solar sail can operate longer periods of time with more efficiency, it may becoming preferred propulsion technology for upcoming deep-space research & their missions. It is a concept that is keeping researchers scientists on their feet.

Project Icarus is a ground-breaking expedition advances space exploration in addition to breaking speed records, ship ot
spacecraft’s trip to Mercury, which is being powered by a solar sail, is stretching the
bounds of what is feasible paving way for future missions that may go well beyond what is currently achievable. There is little doubt, this mission will advance knowledge of solar system & how we explore it.

A beam of light could be used to propel a spacecraft to Alpha Centauri, the closest neighboring star system to Earth. This could be done by using a laser beam to exert radiation pressure on a highly-reflective sail. How it could work: 

Laser beam
An intense laser beam would exert radiation pressure on a highly-reflective sail.

Sail
The sail would be made of ultrathin sheets of aluminum oxide and molybdenum disulfide.

Speed
The probe could travel up to 1/5 the speed of light, which would be fast enough to reach Alpha Centauri in 20 years.

Challenges Power: 
The farther the probe is from the beam's source, the more power is required to transmit the same force.

Durability: The sail needs to survive the long journey to Alpha Centauri.

Breakthrough Starshot
A project announced in 2016 by physicist Yuri Milner and cosmologist Stephen Hawking to develop a laser-propelled starship.

Mission to Alpha Centauri
A project at the University of Sydney that uses radiation pressure to propel an object to the stars closest to Earth.

1) Traveling from one star to another is currently impossible to achieve within a human lifetime. But some projects are designing ways to propel payloads to the nearest star system (Alpha Centauri) using beams of electrons.

2) A new proposal uses an electron beam fired from a stable platform near the Sun, which could push a 1,000 kg spacecraft for up to 100 AU (100 times the distance from the Sun to Earth).

3) Although filled with yet-to-be-discovered materials and concepts, this idea could theoretically propel a probe to Alpha Centauri in just about 20 to 40 years.
