Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst Ever Detected Hits Telescopes Across North America

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-11-06 20:25:38

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came from. Now, a team of scientists has detected the brightest-ever FRB and finally pinpointed its origin to a nearby galaxy. Researchers have long suspected that FRBs are the result of highly energetic and violent events, like clashes between neutron stars. But even though they can generate more energy

Bluesky blocks service in Mississippi over age assurance law

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-11-06 20:30:49

Social networking startup Bluesky has made the decision to block access to its service in the state of Mississippi, rather than comply with a new age assurance law. In a blog post published on Friday, the company explains that, as a small team, it doesn’t have the resources to make the substantial technical changes this type of law would require, and it raised concerns about the law’s broad scope and privacy implications.

Black Holes Are the Elusive Source of the Universe’s Dark Energy, Study Argues

Dark energy—the hypothetical force accelerating our universe’s expansion—sometimes raises more questions than it answers. A new study, however, presents surprising evidence that black holes may be an incubator for dark energy—suggesting that the force may be less constant than we believed. In a paper published August 21 in Physical Review Letters, researchers used data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to test a hypothesis that argues black holes convert dead star matter into

The next Starship flight will test much more than hardware

SpaceX is gearing up to launch its massive Starship rocket from South Texas, a test that gives the company a chance to reverse a brutal few months of mishaps on the ground and in the air. The last Starship test flight was nearly three months ago, and it notched a milestone: the first reuse of a Super Heavy booster. But that mission ended with the upper stage, also called Starship, or Ship, breaking apart on reentry and the booster exploding over the Gulf during the landing burn phase of flight.
