192 words New simulations create galaxies without using dark matter, overcoming a long-standing hurdle to the controversial theory MOND, which claims dark matter doesn’t exist at all. 272 words NASA's Curiosity rover suffers glitch on Mars, freezes up 159 words Found this a while ago, what are your opinions? 167 words BREAKING: Boeing CEO Fired 222 words Week of December 15, 2019 'All Space Questions' thread 130 words Star found leaving Milky Way at more than 6 million km/h (3.7m mph). Astronomers say it ventured close to supermassive black hole before being ejected, first time such event has been recorded. In about 100m years, it will exit Milky Way and spend rest of its life sailing through intergalactic space. 455 words How bright would a light have to be on a satellite to see the back of the moon? 112 words Welcome to RocketLab Launch Complex One 127 words New Hubble data suggests galaxies without dark matter really exist. The deep observations "cannot be argued with," says the study's co-author, and they "point to an alternative channel for building galaxies — and they even raise the question whether we understand what a galaxy is." 355 words Douglas MacKinnon: US needs a permanent moon base – So forget about going to Mars for now 138 words A SpaceX fan who visited Texas to see Elon Musk's Starship event spent the night in jail after taking photos of a rocket prototype built by the company 138 words In 1054, Chinese astronomers took notice of a “guest star” that was, for nearly a month, visible in the daytime sky. The “guest star” they observed was actually a supernova explosion, which gave rise to the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide remnant of the violent event. 243 words In 1054, Chinese astronomers took notice of a “guest star” that was, for nearly a month, visible in the daytime sky.
