A large hunk of space debris, possibly from an Indian satellite, was discovered on a beach in Perth, Australia. In France, a woman was struck by apparent meteor fragments during a coffee break. A 40-year-old IBM-PCjr web server has been running continuously since March 2023. The Oppenheimer hype train continues with interesting content related to the Manhattan Project. A video explores the sharpness of obsidian flakes compared to modern steel edges.
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team have recovered 50 tiny spherules, believed to be fragments of a meteor that crashed into the Pacific Ocean nearly a decade ago. Loeb suggests that these fragments could be the remains of a "technological gadget" from another solar system, as they are made of a steel-titanium alloy stronger than iron found in other meteors. The Defense Department confirmed that the meteor's velocity indicates an interstellar trajectory. The samples will undergo further testing at Harvard to determine their composition, opening a new frontier in astronomy. Loeb plans to search for larger debris from the meteor impact in future expeditions.

Harvard professor Avi Loeb and his team have brought back fragments of a meteor that landed in the waters off Papua New Guinea in 2014, which they believe may be alien technology. The materials, including ten metallic marbles with distinct colors and composition, were found using calculations that charted the potential path of the meteor. The spherules are made of materials tougher than iron meteorites and were moving faster than 95% of stars in the vicinity of the sun, suggesting they could be a spacecraft from another civilization. Further research and analysis will determine if the spherules are artificial or natural, providing insight into materials outside our solar system.
