T Tauri's Great Dimming: Astronomers Study Young Star's Potential Disappearance
The young star T Tauri, located 471 light-years from Earth, is experiencing a significant dimming event. The cause is a thick dust and gas disk blocking its light, with astronomers predicting it may disappear from view for up to a century. This event presents an opportunity for scientists to explore the chemical makeup of planet-forming regions wit...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...
