Gaia, Theia, and a starving black hole: this week in space
2016-09-16 17:15:28| Extremetech
Gaia maps the galaxy, while a binary supermassive black hole fades away: this week in space.
Can the impossible space drive survive falsification in orbit?
2016-09-16 13:58:55| Extremetech
At this point, the EM Drive will be important -- if not for revolutionizing space travel, then at least for dramatically illustrating the difficulty of taking accurate force measurements at extremely low magnitudes.
