If a Star Has Less Metals, it Might Have a Better Chance to Spark Life

I'm not clear why life in the oceans would be imperilled and the article seems to ignore the fact that free oxygen in the atmosphere, which is necessary to produce ozone, is a result of life and not a precursor to its genesis but hey, an interesting read anyhow. #UniverseToday

Today the mention that #Sierra Space tests for the 3rd time an #Inflatable #SpaceStation module intentionnally to destruct it. Their idea is the inflatable modules would make it cheaper and easier to launch space station modules.

Siblings of the Sun. If there's extra-terrestrial life that's similar to humanity -- someone to talk to in the vastness of the cosmos, perhaps they might call home a solar system almost identical to our own orbiting one of the siblings of the sun.

Fusion breakthrough raises hopes — and questions
For the first time ever, physicists have set off a controlled nuclear fusion reaction that released more energy than what was put into the experiment.

The milestone laser shot took place on Dec. 5 at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Cal

Tiny #Cubesat Will Shine an Infrared 'Flashlight' Into the #Moon's Shadowed #Craters, Searching for #Water Ice - #UniverseToday

"#Lunar #Flashlight is a cubesat about the size of a briefcase, set to launch on December 1 on a #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket ...
The tiny 14 kg (30 lb) #spacecraft will use near-infrared #lasers and an onboard spectrometer to map the permanently shadowed regions near the Moon’s south pole, where there could be reservoirs of water ice."

Quantum data gets sent through a simulated wormhole
For the first time, scientists have created a quantum computing experiment for studying the dynamics of wormholes — that is, shortcuts through spacetime that could get around relativity’s cosmic speed limits.

Wormholes are traditionally the stuff of sci
