NASA has confirmed its MAVEN spacecraft is officially dead after losing contact with the probe in December. An anomaly in the probe's rotation speed led to an unexpected loss of power, though the exact cause remains unknown.

Who said science can't be pretty?

A new study finds pollution from satellite megaconstellations could account for 42% of the space sector’s climate impact by 2029.

Muon Space announced a Starship-class satellite platform June 3 designed from the ground up to meet the demands of the emerging orbital data center market, with an initial launch slated for 2028 after securing customers.

A spectacular spiral galaxy known as M88 is traveling toward the crowded heart of the Virgo Cluster, where powerful forces are already beginning to reshape its future. A striking new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope highlights Messier 88 (M88), a spiral galaxy that is in the midst of a cosmic journey spanning hundreds [...]

Researchers discovered a closely orbiting pair of supermassive black holes in Markarian 501 by tracking two jets of particles. The binary system could merge within 100 years and may produce detectable gravitational waves. Current evidence indicates that nearly every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center, with a mass ranging from millions [...]

A former NASA engineer named John Muratore sat on console as launch director in early September 2016 as propellant flowed onto a Falcon 9 rocket in Florida. Ahead of a planned launch two days later, SpaceX was preparing for a static fire test of the vehicle.

Then, all of a sudden, the rocket exploded. "It came out of nowhere, and it was really violent," Muratore said. This fireball resulted in the destruction of the rocket, much of its launch site, and the AMOS-6 satellite already attached to the vehicle.

Nearly a decade later, on May 28, Blue Origin conducted a static fire test of a new rocket, with its larger New Glenn vehicle a few miles down the Florida coast. The company had gotten further into its test, reaching engine ignition, before its rocket also exploded.

NASA’s Fermi telescope may have finally uncovered the magnetic powerhouse behind the universe’s brightest supernovae. An international team of astronomers analyzing observations from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found what appears to be the first convincing detection of gamma rays from a rare type of extraordinarily bright stellar explosion known as a superluminous supernova. [...]

Scientists accidentally discover magnetic fields around 7 distant planets

Some say that the Christian faith is the continuation of Judaism. But the divide between the two faiths is as a chasm so wide that you can't see the other side. Religious Jews do not even worship the same God as Christ's followers do.

Stimulated Transfer redshift, a newly discovered phenomenon predicted by quantum electrodynamics, results in electron heating and a redshift of light from distant galaxies. The mechanism not only explains the extreme heating of the solar corona, but also provides an alternative explanation for astronomical redshifts without invoking an expanding universe.

The exploration of time measurement emphasizes the Earth's rotation as a historical clock, defining the 24-hour day. The development of mechanical clocks, notably John Harrison's marine chronometers, advanced navigation. Time's definition evolved from an Earth-centric model to atomic standards, although fundamental concepts of time remain abstract and intrinsic to the universe's creation.

I critique the portrayal of the Israel-terrorist binary choice, emphasizing that true followers of Jesus Christ should advocate for peace rather than support wars driven by greed or ideology, instead promote love and coexistence among diverse beliefs.

I presented on the subject of problems for the big bang on the YouTube channel Standing for Truth Ministries. I discussed the most common problems the big bang theory has, the contradictions, fudge factors and failures.

My painting "Jabalya" depicts the suffering of Palestinian women and children during the Gaza war, advocating for compassion and peace. With significant casualties reported, including many children, the artist emphasizes the dire humanitarian needs of Palestinians. War is a tool of Satan used to depopulate the Earth.

Extraterrestrial life has been searched for without success, and now a new method is suggested. I participated in an interview on the David Rives Genesis Science Report about this new search method, which examines similarities among clustered planets, suggesting terraforming has occurred.

How much of cosmology is fiction? What are the fudge factors. How much is being fudged. Are there insurmountable problems with our current model of big bang cosmology?

The biblical Tower of Babel, with its message of human pride and language confusion, is being built again but this time in the digital realm within a technocratic society. The global oligarchs are using AI to integrate all humans into the Internet of Bodies but do not comply.
