"For the first time in the documented history of modern science, humanity has deliberately and with full premeditation permanently modified the natural movement of celestial bodies relative to the central star of our entire system. "

"Humanity has for the first time in its history permanently changed the orbit of a celestial body orbiting the sun. We are not talking about a minor correction of an artificial satellite's flight, but about knocking a cosmic mountain off course. And so powerfully that it modified its trajectory relative to our parent star. "

"Even before the collision, it was conservatively assumed that shortening Dimorphos's orbital period by just 73 seconds would be considered a spectacular technological triumph. Meanwhile, the latest meticulous and repeatedly verified, which is important, telescopic measurements showed something amazing. The precise impact of the artificial probe on the asteroid's surface reduced the orbit of this small moon not by a second, but by over 30 minutes. "

"In the case of Didymos and Dimorphos analyzed by us, the micro-nudge by a small probe consequently led to a noticeable shortening of their more than two-year orbital period around the solar disk by 15 seconds, and the trajectory itself gravitationally reduced its radius by nearly 360 m. "

"The physical radius of this closed orbit noticeably decreased by tens of meters. And this directly means that as humanity, we deliberately and effectively pushed Dimorphos onto a much tighter, shorter, and faster path orbiting Didymos. "

"The impact, which in perfect combination with a massive jet ejection of rocky debris, not only reshuffled the internal dynamics in this binary system but literally slowed down the movement of this entire system. We are talking about a research-proven slowdown of merely less than 12 micrometers per second of flight, which translates to a deviation of less than 5 cm per hour of flight through the abyss of space. "

"However, the amount detected in 3I Atlas seems unusually high compared to rates observed in solar system comets. And again, this fingerprint, discovered for the third time in July '25 by the Last Alert System, is only the third known object whose presence in space has been confirmed in the solar system. The first was Oumuamua in 2017. Then in 2019 Borisov, which had a more traditional comet-like appearance. "

"However, even as the comet moves away from Earth at a speed of approximately 209,000 km/h, astronomers are still gaining new information from which Atlas in a recently published NASA research note describes a recent surprising turn of events from the comet's surface. A huge increase in brightness was recorded there. The observation took place approximately two months after the comet reached its closest distance to the sun. And this allowed scientists to better catalog various organic molecules of the comet, including cyanide, methane, and methanol. "

"According to the new plan, the Artemis III mission (launch scheduled for mid-2027, but with a high probability of being postponed) will be transformed into a complex test of orbital maneuvers in low Earth orbit (LEO). Instead of landing near the Moon's south pole, the Orion spacecraft crew will focus on rendezvous and docking operations with landers provided by SpaceX and Blue Origin. "

"Artemis 2 still hasn't launched, and now most likely due to helium leak problems in the rocket's second stage, this launch will be delayed until April. Let's hope it happens then. But the Moon landing itself will also be delayed until 2028. And now I'm saying here that perhaps even later. It won't be good if it happens this decade. "

"General relativity imposes a speed limit on objects moving through spacetime. Nothing with mass can reach the speed of light. This is an absolute, uncancelable prohibition. The energy required to accelerate a massive object to the speed of light is infinite. Period. "

"Based on this, very, very precise studies of the periods of over 60 millisecond pulsars have been conducted for many years. And this network is called PTA. It's PTA not like Polish Astronomical Society, but like Pulsar Timing Array is a network. And what is very important, recently the first works appeared showing that this network, this network provided evidence for the existence of such a gravitational background, that there are such waves that spread everywhere, very long waves, which cause the frequencies of impulses from pulsars reaching us to be minimally distorted and they are directionally correlated, right? "

"In 2003, nature gave us an even better natural observational instrument, namely not just one pulsar orbiting a center of mass with a neutron star, which is something invisible, but it gave us something immeasurably more accurate, which is two clocks orbiting, that is, a double pulsar this time J0737-3039. "

"We see stars orbiting invisible points at immense speeds, such as the S-stars in the center of our galaxy. We see accretion disks, gas heated to millions of degrees, falling onto something that does not reflect light. We detect gravitational waves that perfectly match models of colliding black holes predicted by Einstein. "

"Meanwhile, on the surface in Jezero Crater, the Perseverance rover was waiting. And Perseverance pointed its cameras at the sky and took a long exposure. And in the photos, Atlas looks like a faint smudge drifting among the stars. It may not be the most beautiful photo in the history of astronomy, let's not kid ourselves, but its scientific and historical significance is gigantic here. This is the first portrait of a visitor from outside the solar system, taken by a robot standing on another globe. "

"Apophis is that famous asteroid that will fly extremely close to Earth in 2029, closer than geostationary satellites. A probe will study how Earth's gravity will affect this asteroid during such a close flyby. "

"On 24 September 2023, at 4:42 a.m. MDT, at a distance of 63,000 miles (101,000 kilometers) from Earth, it ejected the sample return capsule, which re-entered the atmosphere at 27,650 miles per hour (44,500 km/h). "

"The biggest advantage of thorium reactors is efficiency. In a traditional uranium reactor, we burn only a small fraction of the fuel. The rest is essentially waste. In the thorium cycle, we can burn almost all the fuel, which means we extract significantly more energy from the same amount of material. "

"Chinese scientists announced a success we've been waiting for since the 1960s. In a reactor in the Gobi Desert, they not only managed to start a chain reaction but did so in a system using molten salts and thorium. "

"In a reactor, this process is called fuel breeding. We need to take a thorium atom and hit it with a neutron. Then thorium 232 turns into thorium 233. And this isotope is unstable and quickly decays to protactinium 233, and this in turn after another decay becomes uranium 233. "

"The Chinese have successfully completed a full energy cycle, from thorium, through the breeding process, to obtaining energy from generated uranium 233. "
