Researchers at the University of East Anglia and the University of Manchester have helped conduct a 16-year long experiment to challenge Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
The international team looked to the stars — a pair of extreme stars called pulsars to be precise – through seven radio telescopes across the globe.
And they used them to challenge Einstein’s most famous theory with some of the most rigorous tests yet.
Humans have been dreaming of living on the Moon, but what would that look like exactly?
Put simply, an outpost (or outposts) on the Moon could benefit humanity in numerous ways. It would allow for regular access to the lunar surface, enable vital research into low-gravity and its effects on terrestrial organisms, and shave billions off of the cost of missions destined for Mars and other locations in deep space.
Beyond the scientific and spaceflight-related, a lunar outpost would also allow for the creation of new industries, such as lunar mining, space-based solar power, commercial space stations, and lunar tourism. The infrastructure created for this purpose could also lead to a thriving economy in the Earth-Moon system, including asteroid mining and space-based manufacturing.
**The Moon is our gateway to the rest of the Solar System and the first step in any plan for “going interplanetary.” Granted, the challenges are enormous, and the cost of developing all this architecture is nothing short of immense. But as the Loonies say, “TANSTAAFL!”
Have been dreaming of living on the Moon, but what would that look like exactly? Welcome back to our ongoing “Interplanetary” series. In our p.
What To Watch For In The Night Sky This Week: December 13–19, 2021 An era-defining rocket launch happens this week. Much-delayed, over budget and high on science promises, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will—finger’s crossed—finally go skywards this week… though it might be wise to expect delays. Also this week is the year’s most prolific meteor shower and a final full Moon for fall—the “Cold Moon.”
Here’s everything you need to know about stargazing, moon-watching and rocket launches this week:
Scientists know that Martian dust storms drive the planet’s ongoing dehydration, but just how the water gets to the upper atmosphere remains a mystery.
Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a new study that discusses how we could potentially create an actual (but tiny) warp bubble. Links:

More specifically, the diffractive pupil mirror pattern spreads starlight into a complex flower pattern. This makes it easier to show the fine detail needed to detect the small wobbles a planet would make in the star’s motion.
TOLIMAN fills an important niche in the study of exoplanets, searching for them around the very nearest stars. As has been noted, that task has actually been more difficult, so far, than finding planets around more distant stars. TOLIMAN will focus on detecting these worlds, if they are there. What will it find?
Bottom line: A new custom-designed space telescope mission called TOLIMAN will search for nearby habitable planets in the closest star system to Earth, Alpha Centauri.
