Haven-1 closer to launching next year, and apparently on the path to end-over-end artificial gravity. https://x.com/JedMcCaleb/status/1985101423223410836

A new European space entity, born out of the merger of space divisions from Airbus, Thalès and Leonardo. Bromo Typical uncool committee-based decision. Revolution and chaos has started in the past for less than that.

Starshield is SpaceX’s classified satellite constellation, used primarily by the U.S. military for Earth observation and communications. It currently has over 200 satellites as part of the network, operated by the National Reconnaissance Office. Tilley says that he’s detected the unusual signal from 170 Starshield satellites, all within the same frequency range. https://www.tomshardware.com/service-providers/network-providers/secret-spacex-satellites-are-transmitting-mysterious-signals-on-the-wrong-spectrum-a-classified-network-caught-sending-data-on-the-uplink-frequency

Passage artificiel de Vénus sur le Soleil, Pierre Jules César Janssen, 1874 Before cinema, there was Passage de Vénus — a planetary transit recorded through a mechanical camera gun. It’s the oldest “film” on IMDb and Letterboxd.

3I/ATLAS will transit behind the sun between late October and early December, hidden from our view. Let’s assume for a moment (suspension of disbelief and all that) that it doesn’t reappear where orbital mechanics predict, but has ostensibly performed some kind of reverse Oberth maneuver that places it on an intercept course with Earth. How would you react and what would you do next, anon?

Avi Loeb is on a roll, now suggesting that the 1977 Wow! signal may have come from 3I/ATLAS: https://avi-loeb.medium.com/was-the-wow-signal-emitted-from-3i-atlas-d18d4f0d1f1e And also doubles down on the warning that we’re not seriously enough considering that 3I/ATLAS may be a threat: https://avi-loeb.medium.com/what-is-the-nature-of-3i-atlas-e796477b6c3e
