The launch stands as a follow-up to Isaacman's 2021 Inspiration4 mission, in which he and three other private citizens launched on the first-ever civilian-only spaceflight. Inspiration4 helped raise $250 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and Isaacman hopes to build on that momentum...

NASA Space Technology A team of researchers used data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and ESA’s XMM-Newton to offer a new understanding of how and when a supermassive black hole consumes material.In 2018, the optical All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae noticed a system called AT2018fyk, in which a black hole partially disrupted a star.ASAS-SN noticed this system had become much brighter. When scientists observed it with NASA’s NICER (Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer) and Chandra and XMM-Newton, they found that the brightness came from TDE, which signifies that a black hole partially ingested a star after flying too close to a black hole.The material from the star got hotter and produced X-ray and ultraviolet (UV) light as it approached close to the black hole. These signals then faded, suggesting nothing...

NASA Space Technology Illustration: Blue Origin The White House announced earlier this year it would implement a unified time standard for the Moon by 2027, an essential measure as NASA aims to establish a permanent presence on the lunar surface. Two Colorado-based researchers proposed a solution in a recently published scientific paper involving clocks floating in space to calculate the time difference between the Earth and the Moon. Suggested ReadingHow Starbucks can succeed, according to a former Amazon execSuggested ReadingHumanity has never contended with the differences in time zones between two celestial bodies. To use terrestrial terms, the time difference between the Eastern and Pacific time zones in the U.S. is three hours. It’s fixed and doesn’t change. It’s always three hours. That’s not the case between planets and moons because of relativity. Time...
