"I can look at an object in the world around me, but I can also close my eyes and imagine the object," says Varun Wadia, highlighting the dual capability of visual perception and imagination.

The South Pole Observatory peers into the vastness of the Universe to address one of its most compelling questions: what happened immediately after the Big Bang? Exploiting uniquely favorable observing conditions, its instruments measure the cosmic microwave background with exceptional precision, placing stringent constraints on early-Universe physics.

JAXA's analysis indicated that the manufacturing process for a component holding the satellite payload was flawed, primarily due to unexpected high temperatures that weakened the adhesive used.

Inertia Enterprises burst onto the scene in February with a $450 million Series A, making it one of the best capitalized startups in the industry, aiming to bring laser-based fusion reactors to market.

The lantern slides are transparent photographs or paintings on glass plates designed to be projected onto a screen using an early slide projector. They were sitting in three plastic tubs in a Fuertes office.

Impulse Space, founded in 2021 by former SpaceX co-founder Tom Mueller, is an up and coming player in the wacky world of space tugs, more professionally known as 'orbital transfer vehicles.' OTVs are satellites designed to carry spaceborn cargo to various orbits.

"I can't say they didn't do it, all I can say is they haven't demonstrated that they have."

Galileo Galilei described the moon using earthly comparisons, invoking images of sunlight on craters, which shaped early perceptions of the lunar landscape.

Tritium is a hydrogen isotope with a half-life of 12.3 years. As it decays, beta particles strike a phosphor coating and produce light. The process requires no electricity, no chemical reaction, and no external energy. It simply happens, continuously, for decades.
