A risky maneuver could send a spacecraft to interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Here’s the plan
By taking advantage of a maneuver that would see a spacecraft fire rocket engines while in the solar corona, that spacecraft’s velocity could receive a huge boost — enough to allow it to catch up with 3I/ATLAS, which is the fastest comet ever seen.
What’s the point of a space station around the moon?
Is an orbiting space station necessary to achieve lunar objectives, including scientific ones?
The Milky Way may be hiding a big secret at its heart: an extremely magnetic dead star
Astronomers suspect the heart of the Milky Way may be hiding a big secret: a rapidly spinning, highly magnetic, neutron star-powered pulsar.
