The Soviet Union launched the Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957, placing the first human-made object in space. Fast forward to 2022, and we are now launching more than a thousand satellites into space each year, improving our weather forecasts, boosting our … Continue reading The modern satellites shaping the course of climate science
Stars are big hot balls of plasma, but astronomers have now spotted a super strange one that seems to have a solid surface. Its intense magnetic field is strong enough to overcome its blistering temperatures and “freeze” its outer layers into a solid c… Continue reading Bizarre star may have a solid surface, according to X-ray observations
New analysis of a volcanic eruption off the coast of Tonga earlier this year has revealed the true extent of the massive explosion, and established its plume as the highest on record. It is also the first one to be seen stretching through lower layers … Continue reading Highest volcano plume ever recorded penetrates the mesosphere

A non-peer-reviewed paper published by The University of Texas at Austin provides a complete characterization of Starlink’s signals claiming to have taken the first step toward creating a brand-new global navigation technology.
This is a… Continue reading Researchers hack SpaceX Starlink satellite signal for GPS alternative
SpaceX gifted a boon (albeit an expensive one) to digital nomads earlier this year when it launched its Starlink RV service, enabling internet connection in the types of remote, primitive spaces where it was definitely lacking. One of the shortcomings … Continue reading Starlink in-motion RV broadband puts more digital into nomadism
Caltech’s wildly ambitious space solar project, buoyed by a massive hundred-million-dollar donation, is preparing to launch its first prototypes into orbit. These cutting-edge ultralight structures will collect, convert and wirelessly send energy.Conti… Continue reading Caltech’s space solar project prepares for its first orbital prototype
New evidence has emerged in the ongoing debate about whether or not there’s water on Mars. In a study led by the University of Cambridge, scientists examined the topology of Martian ice sheets and found signatures that match subglacial lakes here on Ea… Continue reading New study adds compelling evidence for lake of liquid water on Mars
With an ever-growing constellation of Starlink satellites whizzing around over our heads, you might be getting the urge to start experimenting with the high-speed internet service. But at $100 or …read more Continue reading Snooping on Starlink With an RTL-SDR
If you are a Steely Dan fan, you might know the Donald Fagan song, “IGY.” In it, Fagan sings about a rosy future with high-speed undersea rail, solar power, giant …read more Continue reading IGY: The Year We All Got Along
