Candle flames and airplane engines produce tiny soot particles from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as their precursors, both of which are harmful to humans and the environment. These carbon-based particles are also common in space, making up 10–12% of interstellar matter, and are becoming valuable for use in electronic devices and sustainable energy. However, the fingerprint signals of soot and PAHs have very short lifespans in flames—lasting only a few billionths to millionths of a second. This brief existence requires very fast cameras to capture their behavior in both space and time.

Meanwhile, strange noises emanate from Starliner.

Thank God they didn’t send crew back on Starliner!

“I don’t know what’s making it.”

A “promising place” to explore.

Starship underperforms by 50%. Yikes!

A new study from scientists has claimed SpaceX’s explosion of its Starship rocket last year blew a first-of-its-kind hole in Earth’s atmosphere.

Warp drive space ships don’t exist now, but two researchers looked into what might happen if one crossed into a black hole.

SpaceX, with its rapidly expanding squadron of Starship rockets and super-capsules, looks poised to dominate the creation of humanity’s first base camp on the Moon.

As it ramps up producing Starship upper stages that can double as Moon-orbiting space stations or as spectacular lunar resorts, SpaceX is positioned to speed past NASA’s plans for Spartan astronaut habitats on the orb’s South Pole.

Along with the first private-sector spacewalk, the SpaceX Polaris Dawn crew also will set a new Earth-orbit altitude record.
