Soviet Probe Crashes Tomorrow
A Soviet probe is expected to return to Earth tomorrow after 53 years. Kosmos-482, originally designed for the Venus landing, could survive re-entry and hit the Earth’s surface almost intact due to its robustness.

Black Hole Singularities Questioned
New theories suggest that extreme physical conditions at the center of black holes can also be explained without a singularity – i.e. the theoretical point of infinite density that has been giving physicists headaches for decades
Stratolaunch Tests Hypersonic Rocket
The Pentagon has successfully conducted two hypersonic test flights. The Talon-A aircraft reached speeds above Mach 5 and landed autonomously. It was the first reusable hypersonic technology since NASA’s X-15 program.
Strontium Laser Breakthrough Achieved
In a vacuum chamber, cooled to a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero, a kind of light bell suddenly begins to “ring” – triggered by atoms that organize themselves as if by themselves and emit laser light stably for hours.
Black Hole Singularities: A New Solution?
