A Breakthrough Listen survey was thought to have covered about 288,000 stars catalogued by Gaia. But a new simulation of the Milky Way estimates that more than 6.18 million stars actually fell within its radio-telescope beams—millions of potential worlds too faint or distant for Gaia to catalogue reliably, yet still within range if they were transmitting strongly enough.
11+ hour, 58+ min ago (1228+ words) A Besançon Galaxy Model reanalysis expands Breakthrough Listen's stellar bycatch to 6,182,364 simulated objects, while strong transmitter limits remain conditional on distance, power and duty cycle....
Scientists have traced the human eye back to a tiny one-eyed ancestor that lived nearly 600 million years ago — and remnants of that ancient “cyclops” eye may still survive inside our brains as the pineal gland
4+ day, 20+ hour ago (197+ words) René Descartes decided the soul entered the body through the pineal gland, a lump of tissue roughly the size of a rice grain, buried near the centre of the...
A single large data centre can use an estimated five million US gallons of water a day — roughly the daily demand of a town of 50,000 people — and the AI-driven construction boom is expanding into regions where water supplies are already under strain.
6+ day, 5+ min ago (907+ words) Five million gallons is a high-end estimate, not typical use. Facility records, cooling design and summer peaks reveal how data-centre growth can strain local water supplies.

By the age of eight, a girl in northeastern Brazil was working through sky-survey images on two computer screens and had logged 18 preliminary asteroid detections; if confirmed, they would make her younger than Luigi Sannino, who was 18 when he set the r
1+ week, 22+ hour ago (592+ words) A Brazilian girl's methodical scan of deep-space data threatens to upend a record that's stood for a quarter century, raising questions about who gets access to the tools of discovery. By The Daily Orbit · Edited by Mal James Published September…...
An 18-year-old high school senior from Pasadena wrote machine-learning code to comb 200 billion entries of raw infrared sky data, sorted what came back, and in 2025 found 1.5 million new potential objects
1+ week, 2+ day ago (85+ words) A teenager weaponized a decade of archival telescope data to unearth 1.5 million celestial mysteries that professional astronomers had missed....
NASA is set to launch a telescope on August 30 that could detect around 100,000 new worlds — more than all previous planet-hunting observatories have found combined — using a camera that captures 100 times more sky than Hubble in a single shot.
3+ week, 22+ hour ago (1233+ words) Roman's 288-megapixel camera will repeatedly watch 100 million bulge stars, with simulations forecasting around 100,000 transiting planets plus a distinct microlensing census. By Lachlan Brown · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 22, 2026 · How we edit That wide view is why NASA says Roman…...
AI is creating proteins that never existed in nature — a shift that could lead to new drugs, custom enzymes, and entirely new materials evolution itself never got around to building
3+ week, 1+ day ago (396+ words) We're finally exploring the 99 percent of possible proteins that evolution never bothered to invent. Published August 21, 2026 · How we edit Evolution has had roughly four billion years, every organism that ever lived, and an unlimited budget for failure. It still only…...
Brain implants are beginning to move from science fiction into clinical trials: people with paralysis are already testing systems that can turn neural signals into cursor movement, robotic-arm control, and even decoded speech
3+ week, 1+ day ago (290+ words) The paralyzed and speech-impaired are proving that brain implants can restore communication—not in labs, but at home, at speeds approaching natural conversation.

Seventy percent of Americans say they don't want a data centre near them, and a major reason is the constant low-frequency hum from cooling systems that neighbours report as sleepless nights, headaches, and nausea.
3+ week, 3+ day ago (109+ words) The invisible infrastructure powering AI comes with a very audible cost: a constant hum that's keeping neighbours awake and driving them away from their own homes. By Space Daily Editorial Team · Edited by Kiran Journals Published August 19, 2026 · How we edit…...
AI data centres are being criticised for the water they use, but one kilogram of beef can require roughly 15,000 litres to produce — a staggering reminder that some of the biggest environmental costs are still sitting on our plates
3+ week, 5+ day ago (23+ words) The outcry over AI's water consumption obscures a harder truth: our dinner plates have been quietly guzzling vastly more all along....
