The proposed scale of orbital deployment would represent a significant alteration of the natural night-time light environment at a planetary scale.

Lachlan Turczan's practice sits in the space between physics, optics, and environmental art, as he works with lasers, water, mist, and custom-built lenses to produce sculptures made entirely from light.

The atmosphere of TOI 5205b has a lower concentration of heavy elements relative to hydrogen than gas giants in our own solar system, suggesting something different about its formation.

New Shepard is a fully reusable suborbital rocket system developed by Blue Origin, designed to take passengers on short trips to the edge of space. Since its first launch in 2015, it has carried 98 people beyond the Kármán line, including William Shatner, who became the oldest person to travel to space when he flew in 2021.

Could IT infrastructure, and even the rise of AI, eventually migrate beyond the atmosphere? Amazon founder Jeff Bezos predicted in October that gigawatt-scale, solar-powered data centers would be a reality within 10 to 20 years. At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, Elon Musk was even more ambitious: AI data centers in the "final frontier" could be viable within two to three years. Google also plans to deploy its TPU chips in orbit via Project Suncatcher.

Despite decades of searching, SETI scientists have found no evidence of ET signals from space. The lack of success could be due to the staggering amount of data that must be collected and analyzed.
