Earth Water, Moon Mining And More

Is Earth's Water Older Than The Sun?

Scientists have found that Earth's water is likely older than the Sun. By studying water on a distant protostar (V883 Orion), they traced its composition and found similarities with our own solar system's water. This discovery shows that water in our solar system originated long before the Sun formed. It helps us better understand the path of water across the universe and how it became part of our planet.

Plans For Mining The Moon

Scientists are exploring mining on the Moon for resources like metals and water, primarily for use on the Moon itself to support long-term space exploration. The first steps involve utilising lunar materials to build power sources and create rocket propellants, reducing reliance on Earth. This could lead to a sustainable lunar base that supports missions deeper into space. A major milestone will be the deployment of large-scale equipment, such as SpaceX’s Starship, to make mining operations viable.

Understanding What Time Reflections Are

"Time reflections" refer to a concept in physics where signals are reversed in time, travelling back toward their source with altered frequencies. Scientists recently demonstrated this using a custom circuit, which could potentially speed up communication and reduce energy usage compared to current digital methods. The ability to reflect signals in time could improve wireless tech and imaging systems. Though still in development, this breakthrough could eventually lead to advancements in electronics, like faster cell phones.
