“To push the limitations of aerogel performance, the researchers developed aerogels that exhibit remarkable superelasticity—enduring 99% strain over 20,000 cycles—and exceptional thermal shock resistance at 2273 K across more than 100 cycles.”

“Rather than completely burning up when a spacecraft reenters Earth’s atmosphere, its heat shield’s outer surface is sacrificed to protect the rest of the vehicle. The carbon fibers decompose, dissipating the heat.”
“It was assumed that this only happens on the surface, but in a recent study, researchers from the Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and four other institutions gained new information about how the protective carbon fiber material evolves, not just at the surface, but beneath, where structural failure could occur and threaten the life of the vehicle.”

When large enough and good enough observational tools are developed, we will find that the space-time continuum has been warped by gravity waves, and the “Rogue Planet” is actually a future Earth.

Yes I laughed..
And I laughed again when I read the article.

“”Based on the microlensing event’s properties, Mroz and colleagues were able to estimate that the lensing body object could be either a Neptune-mass planet located in the Milky Way’s galactic disk, around 15,000 light-years away. Alternatively, the rogue world could be a larger but more distant Saturn-mass object in the Milky Way’s galactic bulge, roughly 23,000 light-years away.””

“Both scenarios are consistent with the microlensing signal we observed,” Mroz said

You all know how I feel about incoherent light being seen as coherent light without a correcting lens. (light distorted into individual wave lengths and spread out like a rainbow through a gravitational prism, without another correcting prism to bring the light back together into the original coherent form)

Uranus recently passed in front of a star for 400 ly away, we learned about a lot about that planet but nothing about microlensing.

Again, A star passed behind Neptune in 2022. (occultations)
But no mention of microlensing of the star.

If microlensing was going to happen, the best telescopes and instruments we have would have documented the occurrence having happened in our own system.

There are three phenomenon that can cause the bending of light, a magnetstar’s strong magnetic field can, just like in super colliders. Black holes and Stars nearing black hole status can do it with time distortion…. which changes the amplitude and frequency of the light.(dimming and changing its color/red shift) And of course with “gravity” which distorts the “space” that the light travels in. (when the light exits the distortion field, it will no longer be coherent but broken down into its frequency waveform and scattered across the spectrum)
