Hubble Reveals Chaos in the Largest Planet Nursery Ever Seen

Hubble has imaged the largest planet-forming disk yet — nearly 40 times the diameter of our Solar System — nicknamed 'Dracula’s Chivito' for its hamburger-like edge-on appearance. The disk's chaotic, asymmetric structure with wisps above and below the midplane challenges assumptions about orderly planet nurseries.

Kirigami-enabled solar sails let sailcraft turn without propellant A University of Pennsylvania preprint by Gulzhan Aldan and Igor Bargatin describes using kirigami — patterned structural cuts — to generate steering torques for solar sails, enabling turn maneuvers without propellant. The technique addresses a long-standing control limitation for propellant-free sailcraft.

Jared Isaacman says U.S. will return to the Moon within Trump's term to unlock an 'orbital economy' Jared Isaacman said the United States will return humans to the Moon within President Trump's term. He told senators a sustained lunar program is the key to unlocking a commercial 'orbital economy' through accelerated investment and expanded public–private partnerships.
