Your post prompted me to Google WISA Woodsat and Ranger 3. Interesting. The WISA Woodsat Scandinavian origins will no doubt encourage the tongue in cheek commenters. I am having trouble myself to avoid such.

Einstein may well have been troubled by entanglement at a distance but surely would have disputed entanglement over sub atomic distances where other forces are at play.

Has anybody fully analysed credible alternatives to the concept of the accelerating expansion of the universe? There is one line of approach that requires no complex effects or parameters. Those galaxies at great distances travel faster than closer galaxies simply because they were generated...

Did I read the article right? "The most powerful flare ever recorded, which was estimated at roughly a X45 back in 2003". Lucky it was on the far side of the sun.

The team seem to be so carried away with their 1.5 trillion orphan stars they are ignoring the elephant in the room. "they saw that orphan stars orbited a point between the cluster's two brightest galaxies, NGC 1275 and NGC 1272". They have to orbit something. what is it? If they are just...

The bilateral symmetry is a good indicator of gravitational lensing. The diametrically opposing red features are typical of perfect lensing. If the lens was offset these features would be smeared.

Looking for real life environments for the start of life on earth is futile because modern day bacteria, algae etc. would immediately colonize and modify that environment. Sterile lab investigations are the way to go.

Rather little detail on the detection technique used. I suspect that all is being done is to detect the resulting gamma ray intensity. A much easier thing to do than detect cosmic ray intensity, and not novel. Just take a Geiger counter up with you on your next flight and observe the results. My...

Interesting phenomenom. I have seen this effect to some extent on more visible stars. Variations in infrared sensitivity of CCD detectors can cause variations in image brightness. Older CCD detectors were more sensitive to infrared than modern detectors. Photographic emulsions also show...
