RWMc1 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 So NASA landed on asteroid Bennu and also slammed into another asteroid to see how hard it is to alter the trajectory of an asteroid. Sounds like they intend to push this metallic asteroid into a new trajectory that brings it closer to Earth. A long-term plan with a potential huge payoff. They could eventually manufacture in space.

The galaxy, called ZF-UDS-7329, contains more stars than the Milky Way, despite having formed only 800 million years into the universe's 13.8 billion-year life span. This means they were somehow born without dark matter seeding their formation, contrary to what the standard model of galaxy formation suggests. ----------------------- mal 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to break it to you, Rup: https://www.ndtv.com/science/new-controversial-study-claims-dark-matter-doesnt-exist-at-all-in-our-universe-5267762 Quote Dark matter, the mysterious substance that is believed to make up the bulk of our universe, might not exist at all, according to a new controversial study. The study was published in the peer-reviewed academic periodical The Astrophysical Journal andchallenges our current understanding of the cosmos. Notably, NASA describes dark matter as all ''stuff in space that has gravity, but it is invisible and isn't like anything else we know about''. We can't see it, nor do we know what it's made of, but it helps us understand how galaxies, planets, and stars behave. The study, conducted by Rajendra Gupta, a physics professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada, presents compelling evidence that challenges the traditional model of the universe, suggesting that there may not be a place for dark matter within it. He also suggested that our universe could be more than 10 billion years older than we've come to think, Science Alert reported. More in the link.
