Oumuamua and Borisov were the first two interstellar objects found in our Solar system. And with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory about to become operational, it will improve our ability discover interstellar objects. Just how many interstellar objects are in our galaxy? How many interstellar objects in our solar system? Could some have landed and been preserved on the moon?

2026/05/12

A team of Astronomers from Cardiff University and MIT announced today the discovery of finding a rare molecule, phosphine, in the clouds of Venus. Here on Earth, Phosphine is usually only found to be made by microbes that live in oxygen-free environments or made industrially. There have been past hints of life in the clouds of Venus, where the temperature is much more hospitable for life than the surface. This finding of Phosphine on Venus could be a hint that alien life exists there.R.J. Graham is

Humanly traversable wormholes is a new paper by Juan Maldacena and Alexey Milekhin that points out that there can be humanly traversable wormhole solutions in some previously considered theories for physics beyond the Standard Model, namely the Randall-Sundrum model.But what happens when you go through a humanly traversable wormhole? Is there Time dilation, do you travel faster than light, and are there any limits to how far you can go?Humanly traversable wormholes

Magneto-Inductive Communications for Ocean Worlds, is a new concept from Dr. Robert Romanofsky of NASA. A mission to the under-ice ocean of Europa is one of the highest priority missions for NASA. Dr. Romanofsky's concept is for a probe to melt through the 5 to 10 km thickness of briny ice to reach the buried ocean below. The challenge of communicating back to the surface of Europa is also directly addressed. Link:Magneto-Inductive Communications for Ocean Worlds:

An ultra-long-wavelength radio telescope on the far-side of the Moon has tremendous advantages compared to Earth-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes, particularly a Lunar Crater telescope can observe the universe at wavelengths greater than 10m (i.e., frequencies below 30MHz), which are reflected by the Earth’s ionosphere and are hitherto largely unexplored by humans.
