In a recent episode of SETI Live, Communications Specialist Beth Johnson spoke with Ian Pamerleau, lead author of a new study diving into the mysteries of Ceres published in Nature Astronomy. Pamerleau, a graduate student and researcher at Purdue University, used advanced computer simulations to investigate the physical structure of Ceres’ crust. His findings suggest a significant reevaluation of how we perceive this small yet complex world.
Trump Administration Looking to Slash Environmental Protection Rules for Rocket Launches

#PPOD: Naturally erupting dust streaks on Mars create structures that look surprisingly like trees near the planet's north pole. These streaks are dark basaltic sand pushed to the surface of sand dunes by sun-heated solid carbon dioxide ice, or dry ice, sublimating directly into vapor. The sand dunes form a nearly complete ring around Mars' north pole and are covered by a thin layer of reddish Martian dust and patches of dry ice. Credit: NASA, HiRISE, MRO, LPL (U. Arizona)

Breaking: Astronomers have found a likely new interstellar object passing through our solar system.
A11pl3Z seems to have the most extreme hyperbolic orbit yet measured. More observations coming soon.

just in time for WRATH MONTH i've put up a version of the lumpy gay space rock simulator for you all to enjoy
it's based on gravity like movies are sometimes based on real events

Project Hyperion awards best generational spacecraft concept. Runners-up and honorable mentions also presented. I’m working on Christian sci-fi novel Basilica Obscura about space ark—bioship a la Octavia Butler’s Lilith’s Brood, haves and have-not per Metropolis.
