An experiment has visualized a prediction about objects traveling at the speed of light known as the Penrose-Terrell Effect, first made over 60 years ago.
When objects approach the speed of light (let’s call it a spaceship, for ease) a number of…

The infrastructure of humanity’s journey into space may only be decades old, but some of it has already been lost. A new generation of “space archaeologists” are scrambling to save what’s left.
Space is being commercialised on a scale unseen…
Several years ago, off the coast of Vancouver Island in Canada, a buoy recorded one of the highest rogue waves ever documented in history. The wave stood at a towering 17.6 meters, equivalent to the height of a four-story building.
A new phenomenon dubbed “ice piracy” is unfolding in the frigid wilderness of West Antarctica, where one glacier appears to be stealing ice from its neighbor.
This unusual behavior – once believed to take hundreds or even thousands of years…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made a groundbreaking discovery by definitively confirming the presence of crystalline water ice in the debris disk orbiting a young, sun-like star known as HD 181327. This finding, published recently in…
SpaceX supremo Elon Musk says the next Starship will launch next week, however, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hasn’t yet given it the green light.
Posting on X, Musk claimed the next launch will happen on the week beginning May…
This hilarious and useful device is for tracking mosquitoes within a space.
The Iris, by tech startup Bzigo, sits on a tabletop and scans your room with an infrared sensor. When its AI-based vision algorithms detect mosquito-like…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured unprecedented infrared images showing active cloud formation in the northern hemisphere of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. This discovery, detailed in a recent study published in Nature…
NASA has revived a set of thrusters on the nearly 50-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft after declaring them inoperable over two decades ago.
It’s a nice long-distance engineering win for the team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, responsible…
Amsterdam, Netherlands —(Map)
Scientists in the Netherlands have created a soft-bodied robot that’s powered by air. The robot doesn’t have a computer or a “brain”, but even so, it’s able to walk and swim on its own.
When you…
