Space rocket junk could have deadly consequences unless governments act
Science, Health & Technology Alex Walls The re-entry of abandoned stages of rockets left in orbit from space launches have a six to 10 per cent chance of severely injuring or killing a human being in the next decade, according to a new UBC study. Researchers say governments need to take collective action and mandate that rocket stages are guided safely back to Earth after their use, which could increase the cost of a launch, but potentially save lives.

Heaviest neutron star to date is a ’black widow’ eating its mate
A spinning neutron star periodically swings its radio (green) and gamma-ray (magenta) beams past Earth in this artist's concept of a black widow pulsar. The neutron star/pulsar heats the facing side of its stellar partner (right) to temperatures twice as hot as the sun's surface and slowly evaporates it.

Successful startup of particle detector aims to pin down dark matter
A new particle detector searching for dark matter has closed in on the region where physicists may detect dark matter-an elusive particle that creates 85% of the mass in the universe-all in its first four months of operation. Deep below the Black Hills of South Dakota in the Sanford Underground Research Facility, an innovative and uniquely sensitive dark matter detector- The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment , led by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and supported by University of Michigan researchers-has passed a check-out phase of startup operations and delivered first results.

Johns Hopkins astronomers to discuss new satellite galaxy simulation
The simulation shows abundant streams of satellite galaxies, which early predictions thought to be incredibly rare Using a new simulation, Johns Hopkins researchers have reconciled predictions about neighboring galaxies with what has been observed by astronomers and high-powered telescopes. The results have been at odds for decades.
