What if a spacecraft could cycle between Earth and... Moon orbits, performing multiple circuits of each, naturally and indefinitely, with zero propulsion? We’ve discovered a new class of stable, prograde, low-energy cycler orbits that do just that. Why these orbits matter: Ballistic → fuel-free Stable → long-term ready Near-chaotic → agile with low ΔV Low-energy → access to Earth/Moon, Lagrange points, Sun–Earth L1/L2, even heliocentric space At the AAS/AIAA Astrodynamics Specialist Conference in Boston next week, I’ll present on a new family of ballistic Earth-Moon cycler orbits that are stable, prograde, and mission agile—unlike any cyclers in the current literature. The example below is shown in both the Earth-Moon rotating frame and inertial frame. Conference Paper:show more

Space objects such as meteoroids and asteroids move across... the solar system and can collide with both Earth and the Moon. However, the Moon shows far more visible impact marks on its surface. One main reason is that Earth has a thick atmosphere that protects the planet. When many meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they burn up due to friction before they can reach the ground. This process creates the bright streaks of light we call shooting stars. The Moon, however, has almost no atmosphere, so incoming space rocks are not slowed down or burned up. They travel directly to the lunar surface and strike it at very high speed. Each collision creates an impact crater, throwing dust and rocks outward from the impact point. Over billions of years, thousands of these impacts have covered the Moon with craters. Unlike Earth, the Moon also has no wind, water, or weather to erase these craters, so they remain visible for millions or even billions of years. This is why the Moon looks heavily cratered when we observe it from Earth through telescopes.show more

Did you know the James Webb Space Telescope isn’t... orbiting Earth at all? The James Webb Space Telescope operates near the Sun–Earth L2 point, about 1.5 million km from Earth. From there, the Sun, Earth, and Moon stay on the same side of the telescope, allowing its giant sunshield to block their heat and light at the same time. That keeps Webb cold and stable enough to detect extremely faint infrared signals from deep space. Because of this, Webb can peer through clouds of cosmic dust and observe galaxies whose light has traveled for more than 13 billion years. Every image it captures is not just a view across space, but a look back into the early history of the universe.show more

🧵THE OBJECT ORBITING EARTH THAT ASTRONOMERS WONT CALL NATURAL... (1/6) A small object called Sar2901 recently passed Earth and entered a temporary orbit around the Earth-Moon system and people are going wild. When the Minor Planet Center looked at the observations, it couldn't decide whether Sar2901 was a natural mini moon or if it was an artificial object. It has now delayed giving it an official minor planet designation because if they did it would mean accepting that the object is natural and they don't know that it is. That's the official position of the organization responsible for collecting and publishing the orbits of asteroids and comets. Sar2901 is now beyond the reach of any current observations but it should become visible again in November, when astronomers might finally learn what has been moving around us.👇show more

I want to believe, but there's too much evidence... that not only tells me but shows me that they lied. I feel like low Earth orbit is as far as we can go... 1. The van Allen radiation belt. 2. The disgusted, unexciting, ashamed post moon landing conference with the three astronauts. Their body language, mannerisms, and answers scream that they're lying. 3. The lack of noise of the jet engines in the "videos." 4. How did they get the lunar rover on the spaceship? 5. No craters or dust underneath the spaceship. 6. How did the film the spaceship take off perfectly if nobody was left on the moon to operate the camera, and how was it so perfect if there was a delay? 7. The rockets and the spaceship look like a model. 8. The video of them saying that they are 130,000 miles away from Earth when all they really did was cover up the windows when they are in low earth orbit and film a small portion of Earth from low Earth orbit to simulate that they were far away, but then you find out that they're only in low Earth orbit when they uncover the windows. (Shown in the video below) 9. How we have to redesign the space suits to be able to handle the atmosphere on the moon. 10. The lack of talk and missions to the moon ever since. 11. The numerous blacked out photos from NASA. 12. How an older smartphone has way more technology than the entire spaceship back in 1969, and how we were able to even communicate with them in the spaceship as the one astronaut who passed away before the moon launch specified that they had trouble communicating between buildings and the shuttle on the ground. 13. Not one single astronaut would put their hand on the Bible and say they went to the moon. Why? 14. All the CGI and bubbles caught on NASA videos. 15. All the green screen captures and astronauts on wires in the "shuttle" and on the "ISS." There are so many bloopers and outtakes of astronauts and shuttle hatches malfunctioning, people appearing in the background of videos of the shuttle, people fading in and out, I could go on forever... How would you convince me against the evidence or prove me wrong from the arguments that I have provided?show more

Artemis II Glides Past the Moon A stunning view... from deep space shows Orion — the spacecraft of NASA’s Artemis II mission — gracefully sailing near the cratered lunar surface. The ancient, rugged Moon fills the frame as humanity’s first crewed voyage beyond low-Earth orbit in over 50 years unfolds in real time.This historic flight carried four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen — on a daring loop around the Moon, pushing farther into space than any humans since the Apollo era. The mission successfully tested Orion’s systems for future lunar landings and beyond.The breathtaking contrast between cutting-edge human technology and the timeless, airless beauty of the lunar landscape captures the spirit of exploration: bold curiosity, technical mastery, and our enduring drive to reach new frontiers. Note: This is a creative or illustrative depiction of the scene. Actual mission imagery from Artemis II shows spectacular views of both the near and far side of the Moon captured by the crew.show more

During a Grand Solar Minimum and a geomagnetic excursion,... Earth becomes the dangerous place. A weak magnetic field means unstable radiation belts, ionospheric chaos, satellite failure, GPS collapse, and increased cosmic radiation at the surface. The Moon doesn’t suffer from this chaos. It has no magnetosphere to collapse, no ionosphere to destabilize, and radiation in deep space is harsh but stable and predictable. With just a few meters of lunar regolith, underground bases on the Moon, especially on the far side, become better shielded, more reliable, and more survivable than Earth orbit or even Earth’s surface. That’s why the Moon isn’t a distraction. It’s the logical place to ride out what’s coming.show more

When a spacecraft leaves Earth, it doesn’t just fire... its engines and head straight to its destination. In many missions, especially those going beyond low Earth orbit, there’s a more subtle and elegant strategy at play, one that uses gravity itself as part of the navigation system. This is often called a gravity assist, or a slingshot maneuver. But in the case of missions like #Artemis II, what’s being used is a closely related idea known as a free-return trajectory. At first glance, it might sound simple: the spacecraft goes to the Moon, loops around it, and comes back. But the physics behind it is anything but simple. Instead of relying on continuous propulsion, the spacecraft follows a carefully calculated path through the gravitational field of the Earth–Moon system. It is launched with just the right speed and direction so that, as it approaches the Moon, the Moon’s gravity bends its trajectory. The spacecraft is effectively flung around the Moon, redirected onto a path that naturally brings it back toward Earth. No major engine burn is needed for the return. Small trajectory corrections may still be required, but gravity does the heavy lifting. That’s the key. This kind of trajectory is not just efficient, it’s also safe. If something goes wrong with the spacecraft’s engines or onboard systems, gravity itself ensures the return. It’s an inherent backup plan, built into the trajectory from the very beginning. The same fundamental idea appears in gravity assists used across the Solar System. When a spacecraft flies past a planet, it can gain or lose speed by exchanging momentum with that planet. From the spacecraft’s point of view, it’s as if it has been accelerated without using fuel. In reality, it has borrowed a tiny amount of orbital energy from the planet itself. That’s how missions like Voyager reached the outer planets, and how probes continue to explore regions far beyond what their onboard fuel alone would allow. But there’s an important distinction. An interplanetary gravity assist is typically used to change speed and direction, often increasing the spacecraft’s energy. A free-return trajectory, like the one used in Artemis II, is designed for something more specific: a path that naturally loops back to Earth without requiring additional propulsion. It’s less about gaining energy, and more about shaping a trajectory that guarantees a return. To understand why this works, it helps to stop thinking in straight lines. In space, motion follows curves defined by gravity. The spacecraft is constantly falling, first toward Earth, then toward the Moon, and then back toward Earth again. What looks like a loop is really a continuous free fall through a changing gravitational landscape. This way of navigating space reveals something deeper. We tend to think of engines as the drivers of motion, but once a spacecraft is on its way, gravity does most of the work. The art of spaceflight is not just about thrust. It’s about knowing when not to use it. #GoodLuck #Artemis NASA Artemisshow more

🚨#BREAKING: NASA officials say a large asteroid could pass... close enough to Earth within the next decade that there's a chance it could strike the planet 📌#Earth | #OuterSpace According to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, a large asteroid could pass close enough to Earth within the next decade to pose a potential threat. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, measures between 130 and 330 feet in diameter and could impact Earth in 2032. Despite its proximity, NASA officials emphasize that the likelihood of a direct impact remains low, with only a 1.3% chance of collision on December 22, 2032. Space experts further note that Asteroid 2024 YR4 has an "interesting" orbit, which makes tracking its path challenging but not necessarily alarming. While 2024 YR4’s orbit raises some concerns due to its unpredictability,, NASA remains vigilant, prioritizing further studies and readiness measures to mitigate any future risks. As of now, officials assure the public that, while the asteroid’s path warrants attention, the chances of impact remain extremely low.show more

The 7 astrological bodies affect us and life on... this planet more than you think. The gravitational interactions between the planets, the Moon, and the Sun create the axial and apsidal precessions, and these directly affect Earth's climate and life on the planet. In other words, the Geophysical Event is caused by this interplanetary interplay. If the planets, the Sun, and the Moon govern the short and long cycles, then they also have an immense influence on our individual lives. Just as the Moon causes the ocean tides, it also affects us. Even a small change in the size or distance of a planet like Mars would completely change life on Earth. So now do you understand why the planets have long been associated with gods and regarded as the rulers of the aeons?show more

The Sun feels warmer at noon than in the... morning or evening, because it is physically right above you at local noon 🌞 Its heat is not traveling 93 million miles though a vacuum to get to you. This preposterous distance was made up to block you from understanding that it's a local luminary that was put here by God, circuiting above our Earth in perfect circles every day, its path narrowing and widening over the course of the year, which creates SEASONS. This geocentric model of how the Sun interacts with Earth makes complete sense. Unlike the heliocentric model, which makes zero sense, but everyone believes it anyway since they were taught it when they were too young to ask discerning questions like, "If the Sun and Moon are radically different sizes and distances, how come they've looked the EXACT same size in the sky to us here on Earth, for thousands of years of recorded history?" The deceivers in control of the modern matrix don't want you asking these questions, because it leads to you waking up on where you are, and therefore WHO you are, and why you're actually here inside God's creation.show more

Earth is fragile—one asteroid, one pandemic, one manmade catastrophe... away from resetting the clock on consciousness. That’s why we’re not waiting. SpaceX is building a self-growing city on the Moon first—not as a detour, but as the fastest firewall for humanity’s future. We can launch to the Moon every 10 days with a 2-day trip. Mars? Only every 26 months, with 6-month journeys. That means we iterate 100x faster on the Moon, turning prototypes into a thriving, self-sustaining civilization in under 10 years instead of 20+. The prime directive hasn’t changed: extend the light of consciousness to the stars, make life multi-planetary so a single-point failure on Earth doesn’t end the story. If civilization keeps growing, we’ll figure out the universe. If not… nothing else matters. Starship stands watch in the background as we lay the foundations—habitats rising from regolith, solar arrays blooming, robots and humans turning gray dust into homes. This isn’t just construction. It’s insurance for the species. The Moon isn’t the endgame—it’s the sprint that unlocks the marathon to Mars (starting in 5-7 years) and beyond. And who knows? The resources and tech we master here might even fuel orbital AI swarms at scales Earth could never touch. From Boca Chica to the lunar frontier: same ship, bigger stakes. Humanity’s backup starts now. 🌍→🌕🚀show more

Across most of history, there are continuous reports of... weird ass aquatic beings appearing for a time and then vanishing again. These accounts show up in different cultures and eras, from fish like teachers in ancient stories to modern sightings of objects entering and leaving the ocean. One idea that has started to surface is some of these beings, if real, may not be constantly active at all. They may follow a cycle more like certain animals on Earth, appearing briefly and then disappearing for super long periods. In nature, there are species like the lungfish that can enter a state of deep dormancy called estivation, slowing their systems down and surviving for months or even years with almost no activity. If something similar exists, it could help explain why these reports come in waves. Instead of constant presence, these beings may operate in cycles of activity and deep rest, possibly tied to environmental conditions we do not fully understand. The ocean, especially at great depth, offers stable and hidden spaces where long term dormancy could occur without disturbance. This idea does not require advanced speculation on its own. It follows a pattern already seen in life on Earth, where survival often depends on timing, conservation of energy, and long periods of stillness between moments of movement.show more

Many other fireballs have flown in this month as well that have been also similar in brightness, duration, etc but were at really odd hours so weren't seen by too many people. Most of these fireballs are coming from the anti-solar direction and could be debris traveling in advance of other larger fragments or even a BIG ONE.

🚨 MASSIVE ASTEROID ALERT 🚨 😱 5 ASTEROIDS TO... STRIKE EARTH ON JANUARY 4! ⚠️On January 4, something unusual appeared on NASA’s tracking systems. Not one. Not two. But five separate space objects entered Earth’s monitored region of space — all on the same day. 🛰️ WHAT WAS DETECTED NASA’s Near-Earth Object monitoring network identified five asteroids moving at extreme speeds, each following its own calculated path around our planet. • Classified as Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) • Traveling at tens of thousands of km/h • Detected days in advance • Tracked continuously as they approached and passed. Their distances varied, but all were close enough to activate automatic observation protocols. 🔭 WHY THIS STOOD OUT Asteroids pass Earth often — but multiple objects on the same date always draw attention. Every trajectory was recalculated. Every data point rechecked. Ground-based telescopes and automated systems stayed locked in. No public countdown. No dramatic warning. Just silent monitoring. 🌑 WHAT THE SYSTEMS SAW • Stable orbits • No sudden course changes • No fragmentation • No interaction with Earth’s atmosphere. One by one, the objects passed Earth’s vicinity and moved back into deep space. 🌍 THE RESULT No impact. No damage. No visible sign in the sky. To most people, January 4 felt completely normal. But above our heads, space traffic moved quietly — and was watched closely. 🛰️ THE BIGGER PICTURE Earth travels through a solar system filled with ancient debris left over from planet formation. Most objects remain distant. Some pass close. A few demand attention. This was one of those moments. The universe didn’t slow down. Earth didn’t notice. NASA kept watching. 🌌 Five asteroids came and went. The planet remained untouched. And space moved on. #Asteroids #NASA #SpaceUpdate #NearEarthObjects #CosmicWatch #Astronomy #Universeshow more

Based on the principles of physics, it is theoretically... possible for a planet to have a donut-shaped structure. To maintain the stability of a donut-shaped Earth, it would need to rotate at extremely high speeds, resulting in shorter day durations. Consequently, the gravitational force at the poles would intensify, approximately twice as strong as at the equator. The Moon would continue to orbit the Earth, as long as it maintains a sufficient distance. If the donut-shaped Earth has no tilt, the inner edges would receive no sunlight, while the outer edges would experience increased sunlight exposure, leading to significant temperature variations and extreme weather conditions. However, if the tilt remains unchanged, both the inner and outer edges would receive adequate sunlight. It is worth noting that a naturally occurring donut-shaped planet is highly unlikely unless advanced extraterrestrial beings decide to create one.show more
