The first meter-scale interstellar meteor (IM1) was detected by US government sensors in 2014, identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019, and confirmed by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 2022. We use data from a nearby seismometer to localize the fireball to a ∼16km216km...
Big Dumb Object: Within the Empire, the partial Dyson sphere at Corícal Ailek (which exports thought) and the Dyson bubble at Esilmúr (which exports antimatter and other forms of stored energy in unwholesomely large quantities) would qualify. Capital: For the Empire, that’s Eliéra, the...
The scientific goals include the study of the Heliopause and of the interstellar medium, astrometry with a very long baseline, the study of the gravitational lensing effect of the Sun and the encounter with some Kuiper belt object. Such missions involve technological achievements like the testing ...
An object with a highly elliptical orbit intercepting Miller's is still subject to immmense frame-dragging tending it towards prograde revolution around Gargantua. I would be surprised if closing velocity for intercepting orbits is relativistic. Again, you need to stop imagining that "free fall" ...
The Canary hurtled onward toward the brilliant center of the object that now blotted out all else in the sight of the camera drones. *** The Significance is holding position dangerously close to the EVE Gate, whose quantum turbulence remains markedly elevated. Tachyon emissions from this massive...
The clumps themselves follow with respect to size, column and spatial density and dynamics similarly sized clumps in the Milky Way. Only when considering larger linear scales does the low metallicity start to play a dominant role. An even more extreme object, the irregular galaxy Wolf-Lundmark-...
The total number of grid points in the problem was 𝑛𝑥=6400nx=6400, domain size 4×10−34×10−3 m, and 32,000 particles of species electrons and species ions each for a total of 64,000 particles. The total run time was 10−1210−12 s. The right boundary condition ...
Selecting only those sources with spectral indices between −0.4 and +0.4, the redshift dependence of ISS was found to be significant, but not significantly steeper than the expected (1 + z)0.5 scaling of source angular size due to cosmological expansion for a brightness temperature and flux ...
