How far can the Voyager 1 even travel? Since its launch on September 5, 1977, the voyager 1 has ventured beyond our solar system, and is providing unprecedented views of the outer planets and interstellar space. From capturing the intricate details of Jupiter's storms and Saturn's rings to the iconic "Pale Blue Dot" image that portrays Earth's fragile beauty, Voyager 1 has significantly expanded our understanding of the universe. Even at a staggering distance of 176 astronomical units from the Sun, it continues to communicate with Earth through the Deep Space Network.

Seen from space ― Earth has a sixth ocean, & it’s being born in real time.
It is so easy to forget that geological processes of Earth are ongoing, always working at the same time, and surprising us. Recent scientific discoveries are revealing two extraordinary phenomena that could change the way we understand Earth’s hydrology: the slow emergence of a new ocean in East Africa and the existence of a deep, concealed reservoir of water in the Earth’s mantle. These discoveries reveal not just the planet’s past but also suggest how the surface of the planet may continue to change in the future.

The slow emergence of a new ocean in East Africa and the existence of a deep, concealed reservoir of water in the Earth’s mantle. These discoveries reveal not just the planet’s past but also suggest how the surface of the planet may continue to change in the future.

A birth of new ocean is slowly emerging in African continent.
Under Ethiopia’s desert, a radical transformation is taking place. In 2005, a gigantic 35-mile-long crack opened like a gash in the Ethiopian desert. Thus began East African Rift, a geological process in which the continent is slowly being torn in two. This opening, a rift that runs through Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, is being created by the very slow movement of one tectonic plate, the Somali plate, away from another, the larger Nubian plate. Scientists believe that in about 5 to 10 million years the split will be complete, leading to a new ocean.

NASA acting head asks staff to take ‘inspiration’ from DOGE efforts as lawmakers cite Musk’s conflict of interest.

CNNI -- In a Friday afternoon email to NASA staff, the agency’s acting chief asked employees to embrace the philosophy of Elon Musk’s Dept of Govt Efficiency, or DOGE, as workers express concern over recent directives and anti-diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) communications.

In her email, NASA Acting Administrator Janet Petro said she acknowledges recent executive orders and directives — which include sweeping changes to federal hiring practices and guidance to abandon projects that promote diversity — are “weighing on many of you” and encourages workers to seek support. The mail, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, also asks workers at federal agency to take “some inspiration from the spirit of the ‘Dept of Govt Efficiency,’” which is helmed by Musk — who as SpaceX CEO is a federal NASA contractor —& “lean into this new opportunity to maximize efficiencies.”

As President Donald Trump's anti-DEI agenda comes to bear on NASA, we're getting a revealing look at what his administration considers to be too woke: women. In a directive sent out just days after Trump's inauguration, NASA personnel were commanded to excise all mentions of anything "specifically targeting" women on the space agency's public websites, 404 Media reports.

"Per NASA HQ direction, we are required to scrub mentions of the following terms from our public sites by 5pm ET today," the directive reads. "This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request." The list of verboten terms includes "DEIA," "accessibility," "indigenous people," "environmental justice," and finally: "anything specifically targeting women," such as "women in leadership, etc." Speaking anonymously to 404, a NASA employee confirmed that leadership were serious about the changes. "We were absolutely required to scrub all DEI related or DEI adjacent topics and terms from all external websites by 5pm the 22nd," the employee said.

Face of Change
To lead agency down this path, Trump hand picked Janet Petro as space agency's acting head — a nomination that's reportedly surprised even NASA officials — which makes her first woman to serve as agency's adminstrator. "These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, & resulted in shameful discrimination," Petro wrote in a memo about the agency's termination of diversity programs.That's funny, be'cos when Petro was director of Kennedy Space Center, she said this in a 2021 interview: 

"At NASA & Kennedy Space Center, our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility has been paramount to mission success. The entire NASA leadership team stands behind this commitment," Petro said.  "KSC has embraced the link between diverse teams and innovation," she added.

Small spacecraft sail are easier accelerate than larger probes, alone are not powerful or plentiful enough to push craft to near light speed. Instead, Philip Lubin, a professor of physics at University of California, Santa Barbara ideas for interstellar travel inspired Stars team, told Live Science that craft will likely rely on light instead. A momentum carried by light is transferred to spacecraft can
causes it to recoil accelerate." System is basically a gigantic flashlight — a giant laser array [on Earth]," Lubin said. If spacecraft are sailboats, then laser light is the wind in their sails.

Technology create & test such craft, such as communications equipment small enough to fit on them, is still being developed. Hope there's no physical reason to believe such spacecraft couldn't conduct a flyby mission of Alpha Centauri, Lubin said. "I!, we'll reach Alpha Centauri system, with small probes launching in near decade of 2030s, & thus arriving in nearer 2050s," Eubanks said.

Such mission behave like Voyager 1 & 2 probes. Can transmit high-resolution images of star back to Earth, some of which might contain first 3perfect look at Proxima Centauri's potentially habitable planet. Lubin stressed such journey to think, we'll reach Alpha Centauri system, with small probes launching in the decade of the 2030s, thus arriving in the 2050s," Eubanks said. Centauri would be long-term endeavor. Eubanks said he's confident a big advances could come this century.

Small craft sail are easier accelerate than larger probes, they R powerful or plentiful enough to push craft to near light speed. Lubin stressed such journey is think-able, we'll reach Alpha Centauri system, small probes launching in this decade of around 2030s, thus arriving in around 2050s," Eubanks said. Centauri Hello to them, here we r coming.

What happening here...dreamly...ahh.

The crew of USS Enterprise starship streaks to a new adventure in every episode of Star Trek, somehow traveling at several times the speed of light. This sci-fi mode of practical interstellar travel, which television audiences first saw in 1966, inspired Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre Moya to investigate the feasibility of a real method for light-speed propulsion. Decades later, he published his cutting-edge research to an astonished community of theoretical physicists.

The eponymous Alcubierre warp drive hypothetically contracts spacetime in front of a spaceship while expanding spacetime behind it, so that ship moves from Point A to Point B at an “arbitrarily fast” speed. By distorting spacetime—the continuum enfolding the three dimensions of space and time—an observer outside the ship’s “warp bubble” would see the ship moving faster than the speed of light, even observers inside the craft would feel no acceleration forces. If a superluminal—meaning faster than speed of light—warp drive like Alcubierre’s worked, it would revolutionize humanity’s endeavors across the universe, allowing us, perhaps, to reach Alpha Centauri, our closest star system, in days or weeks even though it’s four light years away.

Astronomers have been mapping vast cosmic structures for decades, from galaxy clusters to immense superclusters. But esearchers have identified what they say is officially the largest known object in universe—a massive cosmic structure stretches 1.4 billion light-years across & contains nearly 70 galactic superclusters.


Recently discovered structure is called Quipu. It was found by a team of astronomers led by Hans Böhringer @Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, Germany. Name comes from an ancient Incan counting system made of knotted ropes,
visually resembles vast interconnected web of galaxies that make up this structure.

Quipu surpasses previous record-holding largest cosmic objects, including the Sloan Great Wall and the Laniakea Supercluster, both of which were once considered the largest formations in the known universe.

While city-killer asteroid is currently speeding away from Earth, scientists warn might return with a bang in 2032. NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact. Last Alert (ATLAS) spotted asteroid on Dec. 27, 2024, just after YR4 made a close approach to Earth on Dec. 25. The footage shows asteroid zooming through the expanse of space as it barrels along its orbit. At an estimated 130 to 300 feet (40 to 90 meters) wide, Asteroid YR4 is big enough to be considered a city-killer, meaning it could cause catastrophic destruction if it ever collides with Earth. And the odds of impact remain low, NASA scientists have recently doubled those odds from 1.2% to 2.3%—or a 1 in 43 chance.

The researchers found Quipu while analyzing data from the ROSAT X-ray satellite, a German mission designed to detect high-energy cosmic structures like galaxy clusters big enough to warp space-time. To help make work more efficient, they turned to an algorithm that could determine which galaxy clusters were linked. The data helped them define maximum distance threshold beyond clusters could no longer be considered part of the same system. Researchers say Quipu was so obvious in the data that it immediately caught their attention. Finding largest known object in universe isn’t just exciting achievement, though. It also raises some great questions about how our universe is structured to cosmological principle, the universe should appear roughly uniform at vast scales. However, the existence of these gigantic, clumped-together structures seems to contradict this idea.

A Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed @testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs) was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through transfer of momentum to hitting asteroid head-on. Selected target asteroid, Dimorphos, is a minor-planet moon of asteroid Didymos; neither asteroid poses an impact threat to Earth, but their joint characteristics made them an ideal bench marking target. Launched on 24 November 2021, DART spacecraft successfully collided with Dimorphos on 26 September 2022 at 23:14 UTC about 11 million kilometers (6.8 million miles; 0.074 astronomical units; 29 lunar distances) from Earth. Collision shortened Dimorphos' orbit by 32 minutes, greatly in excess of the pre-defined success threshold of 73 seconds. DART's success in deflecting Dimorphos was due to the momentum transfer associated with the recoil of the ejected debris, which was substantially larger than that caused by the impact itself.
