Will You Still Need Me? Now I’m sixty-four.

One more time around the Sun … could it ever get old?

Still, so much to say. Still, so much to do. Despite life’s grief, despite dashed expectations. I will always love us.

Solving the Mystery of Solar Rain October 15, 2025
It rains on the Sun! Although not in any way we'd recognise from Earth. In the Sun's corona, the superheated atmosphere that extends millions of kilometres above its visible surface, cooler blobs of plasma occasionally form and fall back downward in what astronomers are calling coronal rain. Until now, the mechanism behind the rain has […]
When Black Holes Don’t Play by the Rules October 15, 2025
Scientists have begun to piece together the origin story of a cataclysmic collision between two black holes that met their fate on an unusual orbital path. The merger, designated GW200208_222617 (that really rolls of the tongue,) stands out among gravitational wave detections as one of the rare events showing clear signs of orbital eccentricity, meaning […]
SpaceX Veteran Lays Out Impulse Space's Roadmap for Making Deliveries to the Moon October 14, 2025
Impulse Space, the California-based venture founded by veteran SpaceX engineer Tom Mueller, has unveiled its proposed architecture for delivering medium-sized payloads to the moon, starting as early as 2028.
Modular Robots Could Both Explore Off-World And Build Infrastructure October 14, 2025
Modularity is taking off in more ways than one in space exploration. The design of the upcoming “Lunar Gateway” space station is supposed to be modular, with different modules being supplied by different organizations. In an effort to extend that thinking down to rovers on the ground, a new paper from researchers at Germany’s space […]
Arab Scholars May Have Noted the Supernovae of 1006 and 1181 October 14, 2025
It’s great to see old astronomical observations come to light. Not only can these confirm or refute what’s known about historic astronomical events, but they can describe what early observers actually saw. A recent study cites two Arabic texts that may refer to accounts of two well-known supernovae seen in our galaxy: one in 1006 […]
