Google’s Space-Based AI Data Centre Plan Faces Collision Risks in an Increasingly Crowded Orbit
Google’s Project Suncatcher aims to build a solar-powered AI data center in space. Experts warn the crowded Sun-synchronous orbit poses high collision risks from space debris, and without autonomous safeguards, even a single impact could trigger a cascade, scattering millions of fragments. This project underscores the urgent need for orbital debr...

Astronomers Discover Rogue Black Hole Racing Through a Distant Dwarf Galaxy
Astronomers have discovered a rogue intermediate-mass black hole speeding through a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike typical galactic centres, this displaced object is accreting material and blasting out jets, suggesting black holes can grow “offsite”. The finding offers rare evidence of elusive intermediate black holes and may...
