An unusual type of star known as a “zombie star” called T Coronae Borealis could explode in the near future after being dormant for decades. Also known as the “Blaze Star”, it is part of a binary star system located around 3,000 light years from Earth. The star goes through periodic explosions where it rapidly […]
American researchers aim for nuclear energy breakthrough with high-speed chemical rockets — here’s how it could change the future of spacecraft
American researchers from the University of Michigan received $35 million from the US Space Force to develop a spacecraft powered by a nuclear microreactor. The idea is for the spacecraft to be powered by both chemical rockets and electric propulsion. This would allow it to maneuver in space without being constrained by a limited fuel […]
