@gmanewsMAY THE STARS ALIGN FOR OUR DREAMS THIS OCTOBER ⭐💫 NASA shared a breathtaking image of Sagittarius B2, the most massive and active star-forming region in the Milky Way, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. "It produces half of the stars in our home galaxy’s core," NASA said in its Instagram post. 📸 NASA/ Instagram Visit http://www.gmanetwork.com/news for more updates.9h
@outerspacetodayJUST IN: Researchers in Germany and Australia publish research paper proposing building pyramids on the Moon using lunar regolith. Why a pyramid? Its flat faces allow repeated, interchangeable blocks, while its sloping walls help gravity and covering material counteract the outward push of internal air pressure. The concept uses 361 interlocking blocks made from lunar regolith, heated into solid building material. No mortar and no connectors between blocks; their geometry holds them together. The proposed habitat would stand approximately 6.1 metres tall and measure 8.6 metres across, with an internal membrane to keep air inside. The team ran four computer simulations under lunar gravity, internal air pressure and external loading from covering material. One tested the complete pyramid. The other three tested what happened when a block was missing near the base, middle or apex. All four configurations remained structurally stable under the modelled conditions, with maximum vertical movement of roughly 1.6 millimetres in the missing-block cases. NASA has already invested in the broader ambition of building with lunar materials. In 2022, it awarded ICON a $57.2 million contract to develop construction technologies for potential lunar landing pads, habitats, and roads. This pyramid is a separate research proposal, but it tackles the same challenge. How much of a Moon base could we build using material already there? There’s still a long way from simulation to lunar home. The model assumes substantial external loading from covering material, and structural stability alone doesn’t establish airtightness after damage. But the ambition is compelling. Send the machinery, then use the Moon itself to build. To read the full research paper, visit: https://arxiv.org/html/2610.01770v13h
