- 1SpaceX Starship prepares for its first orbital flight▼SpaceX’s massive Starship is finally going to orbit — and the effects could be seismic
SpaceX's Starship, the largest rocket ever built, is preparing for its first attempt to reach orbit. The milestone flight has drawn widespread attention because success would mark a major step for space exploration and could significantly lower the cost of reaching space, with potentially far-reaching effects on the industry.
- 2Simon Jordan reacts to Man City financial breaches verdict▼"IT IS SEISMIC! Simon Jordan REACTS to Man City being found GUILTY of financial breaches!
Manchester City have been found guilty of financial breaches, and talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan has called the verdict seismic, arguing the outcome will reshape the Premier League. Jordan's reaction has drawn heavy attention, with fans debating what punishment the club should now face and what the ruling means for the league's financial rules.
- 3Radio Waves From Alien Planet Could Be Cosmic First▼Radio Waves Coming From an Alien Planet May Be a Cosmic First https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/science/space/exoplanet
Astronomers report detecting radio waves that may originate from an exoplanet, potentially the first such detection ever made. If confirmed, the signal would suggest the distant planet has a magnetic field, a property never directly observed on a world outside our solar system. The finding is drawing attention from space and astronomy enthusiasts following coverage by major science outlets, with researchers emphasising that further observations are needed to verify the origin of the emission.
- 4Chinese chip stocks fall on Nvidia approval signal●Chinese chip stocks dropped on the Nvidia approval signal—SMIC down 3.7%, Moore Threads 6.3%, Cambricon 5.7%. ByteDance
Shares of Chinese semiconductor firms declined after signals that Nvidia could regain approval to sell chips in China. SMIC fell 3.7%, Moore Threads dropped 6.3% and Cambricon lost 5.7%, as renewed Nvidia competition weighs on domestic alternatives. Separately, ByteDance is reported to be considering ordering around one million Nvidia RTX Pro 5500 workstation cards for multi-card server setups, though that GPU lacks the high-bandwidth memory needed for large-scale AI training.
- 5Cosmic gas cloud makes 'zombie star' flash at Earth▼A giant cosmic 'fart' is making a wobbling zombie star repeatedly flash us, 'groundbreaking' observations reveal
Astronomers report that a stellar remnant, described as a zombie star, is repeatedly flashing toward Earth as it wobbles, with the pulses apparently caused by a large expelled cloud of gas. Researchers are calling the observations groundbreaking, saying they offer a rare look at the behavior of a star after it has survived or undergone an explosive event.
- 6Scientists say Italy's crust is 'unzipping' beneath the Apennines▼Scientists say Italy's crust is 'unzipping,' driving Apennine seismic activity
Scientists report that the Earth's crust beneath Italy is 'unzipping,' a process they say is driving seismic activity along the Apennine mountain range. The finding offers a new explanation for the earthquakes that regularly strike the Italian peninsula and is drawing attention for its striking description of how the crust is gradually pulling apart.
- 7VLT telescope captures striking image of galaxy NGC 3981●VLT image of Arp 289, also known as NGC 3981. This image was captured as part of the ESO Cosmic Gems Program, which uses
The European Southern Observatory has released a new image of the spiral galaxy NGC 3981, also catalogued as Arp 289, taken with the Very Large Telescope in Chile. The picture was made under the Cosmic Gems Program, which photographs visually beautiful southern-sky objects during nights when conditions are unsuitable for scientific observations. The image is being shared and admired by astronomy enthusiasts online.
- 8Radio Waves Detected From Exoplanet Beta Pictoris b●Radio Waves From Beta Pictoris b May Be a Cosmic First
Astronomers report what may be the first radio-wave detection from an exoplanet, picking up signals from Beta Pictoris b, a giant gas planet orbiting a young star about 60 light-years away. If confirmed, it would mark the first time radio emissions have been traced directly to a planet beyond our solar system, opening a new window for studying distant worlds.
- 9Chronic illness patient still hospitalised awaiting possible discharge●RE: https:// lgbtqia.space/@aceofcosmicspac e/117357652183892953 Still in hospital. More bladder scans etc . Waiting to
A person with a chronic illness reports they remain in hospital, undergoing further bladder scans while waiting to learn whether they will be discharged today. They describe the situation briefly and say they are keeping their fingers crossed for a discharge the same day. The update is a personal health status note rather than a wider news event, and no further details about their condition or location are given.
