On June 12, 2025, at 7:00 PM, ET, Hamptons Observatory and co-host Suffolk County Community College will present a free virtual lecture by Dr. Jane Huang from the Department of Astronomy at Columbia University. She will lead us on a journey, “Peering into the Birthplaces of Planets,” and help us...

On February 20th at 7:00 PM, ET, Hamptons Observatory will present a free, virtual lecture by a NASA space physicist and leader of a citizen science project that’s dedicated to understanding auroras. Dr. Elizabeth MacDonald will discuss auroras, what they are, how they are studied, and how you...

I believe that as humans, we have to mine on the Moon and elsewhere in space; must research and develop a warp/Alcubierre-drive; should develop antigravity technology to easily lift off any location—hopefully with minimal resource usage—to build larger and more efficient spaceships; assemble...

I have heard nothing about euclid since it launched I was wondering what exactly it is studying right now? what sort of telescope is it? what instrument it has on it? and why ESA chose to send it l2?

I propose that dark matter isn't a new particle, but an emergent phenomenon arising from the collective behaviour of electron waves on cosmological scales. Key Points: Electron Wave Coherence: Vast, "quiet" regions of space, with minimal matter, energy, and gravitational disturbances, allow...

For the earliest model to suggest this the way I have I welcome all to engage with me on this understanding of the cosmos. Hello everyone, Please do not dismiss this idea outright; let's discuss it and aim to bring a better understanding of the cosmos to the world! I propose that what we...

Hi guys I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but my kids love space and since showing a interest i have made a kids space animation teaching them facts about space in a way that they might find entertaining. I thought I'd post it in this group just in case you have any little space lovers...

Hi Space forum, I am not an astro scientist or related, just some ordinary guy that love mystery hidden in our space. Pardon me if my question is too ordinary. I have too much question about space. 1. I once watched about gravity visualized video that said star bend space (visualized with a...

I have a question to ask people that know or understand a lot about the universe and mathematics. So the question is this: "If the reference point of light doesn't experience time due to time dilation at higher speeds, does this mean that time stops? If time would stop would this mean that...

Can it not be so that the dark matter we're looking for perhaps not even exist and the bindimg/repelling force might be space itself, since black holes collide and gravitational waves are generated, and the speed at which those waves travel can't surpass that of light, so it may be that those...

What is preventing us from sending numerous tiny probes/orbiters into interstellar space, do we still lack the technology or courage? Since through gravity assist alone we can increase the speed of spacecrafts, why don't we send out many in various directions, with all the necessary instruments...

Hello everyone, I'm currently a student in an Aeronautic School in Paris, France. I would like to know if one of you knows some stuff about Radio Isotopic Heater (RHU - Radioisotopic Heat Unit) to heat component during cold nights in space or lunar missions (mainly electronic components) and...

The clogging of near-Earth space could lead to the "Kessler effect" - a situation where space travel is not possible, as NASA experts warned earlier this year. Donald Kessler, an analyst at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, predicted back in 1978 that space debris would...

Thanks

The Summer Workshop on Teaching Space (SWOTS) offers an intensive short-course on the fundamentals of space, introduces academics to new and innovative techniques to teach about space, and provides them with access to the network of scholars, high-level government officials, and private...

What makes you love space, the universe, and the ideas of other planets and life? I'll start off. I've always liked space since I was a kid and I had stickers of the solar system on my bedroom wall. Now, still basically a kid, I'm more obsessed with space than I've ever been. No matter what...

I’m a writer and currently writing a book that involves space travel to a potentially habitable planet. I’ve done lots of research of potentially habitable planets that we are already aware of and I am aware that scientists believe there to be billions of planets in the Milky Way alone. What...

SpaceX Launch from Isla Blanca It was amazing. I cried. The ground shook. People stared. What an amazing moment in my life.

If you had 2 earths, one original and the other hollow with a 1m thick crust but with identical mass and dimensions as our earth. Would you experience gravity identically on the outer surface of both? Also, what would you feel if you stood on the inside surface of the hollow earth? If you stood...

Greetings, First of all, I am not a scientist. Nor do I work in the scientific field...If this is something that bothers you, you can leave right now if you wish to have insights only from experts. However all I can say is that I think, analyze and read a lot about science, space, nuclear...
