Because they lack an atmosphere, the moon and other airless bodies such as asteroids can build up an electric field through direct exposure to the sun and surrounding plasma. On the moon, this surface charge is strong enough to levitate dust more than 1 meter above the ground, much the way static electricity can cause a person’s hair to stand on end.
Engineers at NASA and elsewhere have recently proposed harnessing this natural surface charge to levitate a glider with wings made of Mylar, a material that naturally holds the same charge as surfaces on airless bodies. They reasoned that the similarly charged surfaces should repel each other, with a force that lofts the glider off the ground. But such a design would likely be limited to small asteroids, as larger planetary bodies would have a stronger, counteracting gravitational pull.

Hunting for a neutron star
To discover what lies at the center of SN 1987A, astronomers needed a telescope big enough and advanced enough to detect evidence of radiation from a hidden neutron star.
Enter the James Webb Space Telescope: the largest, most powerful telescope ever launched into space that is already revolutionizing our understanding of the universe within its first two years of operation.
Shares of Intuitive Machines, which fell for two straight sessions before the landing, were among the top trending stocks on retail trader platform Stocktwits on Friday.
More shares traded in February — exceeding 200 million — than in the previous two years combined, according to LSEG data.
Ghaffarian, who is also the co-founder of Axiom Space, is on the board of other space organizations and has held numerous technical and management positions at Lockheed Martin, Ford Aerospace and Loral.
The agency says applicants must have a master’s degree with STEM qualifications and experience in the field, or a minimum of 1,000 hours piloting an aircraft or the requisite military experience. A bachelor of science degree in a STEM field also may be considered, NASA said.
“What we are looking for in this call is everyday civilians who are very astronaut-like to be research participants for us,” Bell said.
Compensation for participating in the mission is available, according to NASA, but an exact salary will be provided during the candidate screening process.
NASA opened applications for people to live a paid year in its CHAPEA Mars simulation. The job requires an agreeable personality and STEM degree.
AEgIS is one of several experiments at CERN’s Antimatter Factory producing and studying antihydrogen atoms with the goal of testing with high precision whether antimatter and matter fall to Earth in the same way.
In a paper published today in Physical Review Letters, the AEgIS collaboration reports an experimental feat that will not only help it achieve this goal but also pave the way for a whole new set of antimatter studies, including the prospect to produce a gamma-ray laser that would allow researchers to look inside the atomic nucleus and have applications beyond physics.
What would I have told my past self, back when my days started to get painful, confusing, and suffocating?
It is not yet possible to travel in time, but if you need the answer, I will tell you.
I would have said: You share the same nature as the cosmos. You are part of it, and therefore, it is likely that you are governed by the same principles. So trust that you will grow. Soon, the pressure of tragic experiences that now seem like grotesque monsters will be nothing more than proof that you can continue growing. Soon, you will look at these facts as you look at a small, lost asteroid — once it has fulfilled its task of making you grow, it will slowly be lost in infinity. But you will have expanded.
Breaking X6.3 Solar flare erupted from the sun! What caused the cell phone communications to go down on the morning of the 22 of Feb 24? Timing was in line with X1.9 and X1.7 solar storms, but where they really strong enough or did something else occur? Either way this is a call to prepare!
