A paper, published in the open access journal Galaxies MDPI, outlines the key goals for the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT). The research, mentioned in Scientific American, discusses the groundbreaking achievements of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which has captured the first images of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) residing within the M87 galaxy and at the centre of the Milky Way. The research outlines how a series of scientific objectives can drive advancements in very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) over the coming decades. These advances promise new discoveries illuminating the extraordinary role of black holes across various astrophysical scales.

Great article highlighting the critical issue of space debris. I strongly encourage everyone to dive deeper into the importance of engineering innovations and legislative measures to ensure satellites are responsibly deorbited. These efforts are essential for fostering the sustainable use of outer space, not just for our benefit today, but for future generations. Let's work together to clean up space before it's too late!
“We have to take responsibility for what we're doing in orbit, and part of that is to use it to its advantage but then treat it responsibly afterwards and dispose of [our] stuff,” says Astroscale U.S. Executive Vice President Dr. Clare Martin. In a recent Scientific American article by Sarah Scoles, Clare highlights space operators’ shared responsibility to preserve access to space as more satellites are launched and more orbital debris will need to be removed. “It’s very important to make sure that we keep the resource of space available for future generations.” See more of what Clare and other industry experts had to say on the topic in the full piece: https://lnkd.in/gDPBAqhE #SpaceSustainability #OnOrbitServicing

This is a good article about a potential path forward for #MarsSampleReturn. Its tough having the political realities of ambitious (and thus costly) detonate so close to us on the technical front but it does force awareness of the playing field. I hope that whatever direction we chart for MSR, it is one that will prevent the uncertainty and volatility experienced recently so we can focus on our work and succeed fully in this important mission. 🚀
Lying in the sands of another world are discoveries waiting to be unlocked. 🔓 Check out the Scientific American article on why Mars Sample Return is worth saving by our Chief of Space Policy, Casey Dreier.

1-Orbital module from China's Shenzhou 15 astronaut mission, falls to Earth over Southern California, (April 2 2024) 2-Suspected Space-Junk Strike in Florida Signals New Era of Orbital Debris (April 12 2024) Does #NASA #ESA or any responsible agency on this planet noticed that will get a lot worse and danger to people on the ground or on airplanes? Two places hit in the same country just ten days apart. The problem is more than 60 years old. And almost every month there are conferences to talk about space debris in some place in th world. There are many more, but let's talk about the last 10 years of conferences with all the monetary expenses for their production and where are the solutions? #orbitalrecycling #moonrecyclingstation #spacejunkcollector

😮 A Chinese junk fell on #Florida !!! #SpaceSecurity, detailed study of content, analysis of materials and the cause of its failure, and a chronological survey of similar events, with date , time, regions of landing, and the scale of harm & destruction. The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) should 1. Register and follows each space launch around the world, to be sure that the launch will not be another debri threatening spaceflights & people at home. 2. An insurance systerm from the launching country to compensate the harm and destruction made by its debri on population and property. 3. Companies that their space technology has more debris in space must be postponed until a confirmation from (UNOOSA)

GOOD READING: TIME TO BECOME SERIOUS ABOUT SPACE DEBRIS "These “fully demisable” spacecraft components are no such thing, and the implications are terrifying." In the safety field self-regulation is a dirty joke. Some people even propose to reward those following safety voluntary consensus standards. Crazy idea! It is like proposing to reward someone for not driving drunk. ISO Space Debris Standards are useless unless compliance is made mandatory by national regulations, and verified by competent institutions.

🔊🖍 Many physicists suspect we are in for a radical reunderstanding of reality, as big as the one Albert Einstein orchestrated more than a century ago. The patent clerk, with his theory of relativity, united space and time into a single, malleable substance — space-time. In doing so, he transformed the inert nothingness behind the world into a dynamic fabric of the world, one with folds that we experience as the force of gravity. Now it’s Einstein’s fabric that needs unraveling. A belief has come to dominate theoretical physics that even nothingness ought to come from something — that space-time must break up into more primitive building blocks that don’t themselves inhabit space or time. https://lnkd.in/d-HZtxHE

Space time. Fall 2024. 'There is a consensus that it should be emergent. It’s just that we don’t know how it emerges'. — Josephine Suh, KAIST in South #Korea.
