Reentry of the Starship spacecraft near Puerto Rico caused a huge roar. Witnesses claim they heard sounds and vibrations from several towns. While it is not ruled out that parts of notable size could have fallen into the sea. View details: https://sociedadastronomia.com/blog/2023/11/1
Although the second test of SpaceX's most powerful rocket initially appeared to be successful, it has been confirmed that the Starship did not reach Earth orbit and there is strong evidence showing that the main part or at least much of the front section of the ship disintegrated. about 75 miles northeast of Puerto Rico, and not over the Gulf of Mexico as some originally thought.
"Shortly after takeoff, the first stage or lower segment of the rocket had successfully separated from the spacecraft, and it was that first stage of the fuselage that exploded shortly after over the waters of the Gulf of Mexico," clarified the Caribbean Astronomy Society ( SAC).
The educational entity highlighted that using an optical telescope equipped with cameras, as well as notable skills and experience, sky enthusiast Scott Ferguson managed to capture impressive images from the Florida Keys in which it can be seen that the Starship still showed a good part of the ship, even with its "fins", still almost intact as it crossed the skies between Cuba and Florida, and continuing towards the Caribbean.

While radar images, as well as experts, witnesses and videos demonstrate that the second stage or much of the main Starship ship, in fact, continued its flight and disintegrated just northeast of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Reports received by the SAC indicate that the Starship disintegrated over the Caribbean around 9:16 - 9:17 am AST (13:16 - 13:17 UT) on Saturday, November 18.
"I infer an impact point in the near Atlantic at 13:19 UT near 65 degrees west, 19 degrees north, and in fact a contrail or cloud of debris was detected by weather radar at that time and location, confirming this analysis "said astronomer and astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, with whom the SAC shared other images obtained from the Island.
One of the witnesses, photographer Jankiel Carranza of JCJ Photos, was photographing "surfers" at Playa El Único in Dorado, Puerto Rico and told the SAC: "I see this fast object crossing a large part of the sky from northwest to northeast and although "I managed to capture it with my camera almost at the end of the sighting, in fact it looked even brighter seconds before (the photo)," he said. Carranza explained that he used a 70 to 300 mm zoom lens.

"This is a very good image since it clearly shows a notable fragmentation of the object, leaving behind small objects, characteristic details of the re-entry of an artificial object, that is, different from how we see a natural meteor," highlighted Eddie Irizarry, SAC scientific communicator.
"I also noticed that the object showed parts that were separating from the main object; it continued to look intense orange and was large. It was leaving a long trail and I could see it from Arecibo," said Angélica Pérez.
The SAC highlighted that when Starship re-entered the atmosphere near the Island, the evidence suggests that the visible object still had a mass of notable size and because the ship was lined with thermal protection slabs, it is not ruled out that some Parts of considerable size may have reached the surface (above the sea) in the eastern Caribbean.
"Although these launches are coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it would be advisable to issue notices or warnings to vessels or maritime navigation in this and other areas of the journey during future tests of other Starship rockets," the educational entity suggested, pointing out that if a cruise ship or other vessel had been in the area, its occupants might have witnessed objects falling into the water, or even had a great scare.
During SpaceX's final contact with the Starship, the ship was at an altitude of 92 miles (148 km), and traveling at more than 15,000 miles per hour, in nearly horizontal flight.
Witnesses claim they felt a great roar (sound and vibration)
Several people in the north and northeast of Puerto Rico, from Hatillo to Luquillo, reported to the SAC having heard sounds similar to thunder, while others indicate it sounded like explosions. The reports coincide with the time of Starship's re-entry: around 9:16 - 9:17 am on Saturday the 18th.
Yariel Osorio, from Loíza, PR, told the educational entity: "At that time I heard sounds like thunder, but they were strange. I entered a Weather Conditions application and I don't see thunderstorms in the area. Other residents of the area say that they felt a vibration along with the sounds," he said.
Interestingly, the same sounds and vibration were heard on other nearby islands, including Anguilla and the Virgin Islands: https://caribbean.loopnews.com/content/strange-rumbling-sound-heard-some-northern-leeward-islands

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory tinkers with the ultimate solution to a close-call encounter yet again.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a modeling tool for assessing the potential use of a nuclear device to defend the planet against catastrophic asteroid impacts.
The research, published today in the Planetary Science Journal, introduces a novel approach to simulating the energy deposition from a nuclear device on an asteroid's surface. This new tool improves our understanding of the nuclear deflection's radiation interactions on the asteroid's surface while opening the door to new research on the shockwave dynamics affecting the inner asteroid.
This model will allow researchers to build upon the insights gained from NASA’s recent Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, where, in September 2022, a kinetic impactor was deliberately crashed into an asteroid to alter its trajectory. However, with limitations in the mass that can be lifted to space, scientists continue to explore nuclear deflection as a viable alternative to kinetic impact missions.
Nuclear devices have the highest ratio of energy density per unit of mass of any human technology, making them an invaluable tool in mitigating asteroid threats, said LLNL physicist Mary Burkey, who led the research.
“If we have enough warning time, we could potentially launch a nuclear device, sending it millions of miles away to an asteroid that is headed toward Earth,” Burkey said. “We would then detonate the device and either deflect the asteroid, keeping it intact but providing a controlled push away from Earth, or we could disrupt the asteroid, breaking it up into small, fast-moving fragments that would also miss the planet.”
Accurate predictions for the effectiveness of nuclear deflection missions rely on sophisticated multiphysics simulations, Burkey said, explaining that LLNL simulation models cover a wide range of physical factors, which makes them complex and computationally demanding.
The paper introduces an efficient and accurate library of X-ray energy deposition functions, developed using the Kull radiation-hydrodynamics code. High-fidelity simulations tracked photons penetrating surfaces of asteroid-like materials such as rock, iron, and ice, while accounting for more complex processes, such as reradiation. The model also considers a diverse set of initial conditions, including different porosities, source spectra, radiation fluences, source durations, and angles of incidence. This comprehensive approach makes the model applicable to a wide range of potential asteroid scenarios.
Should a real planetary defense emergency arise, high-fidelity simulation modeling will be critical in providing decision-makers with actionable, risk-informed information that could prevent asteroid impact, protect essential infrastructure and save lives, explained Megan Bruck Syal, LLNL’s planetary defense project lead.
“While the probability of a large asteroid impact during our lifetime is low, the potential consequences could be devastating,” Bruck Syal said.
Led by Burkey, LLNL’s research team included co-authors Robert Managan, Nicholas Gentile, Bruck Syal, Kirsten Howley and Joseph Wasem.
The planetary defense group at LLNL works on a variety of projects in collaboration with research institutions, including Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office, NASA Goddard, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA Ames and the U.S. Geological Survey.

The #ProjetLyra wants to send a probe near the extrasolar asteroid 'Oumuamua and has simulated this scenario. Close study of the object would allow us to know more about the Milky Way

I have recently returned my attention to the Solar Oberth mission to ‘Oumuamua.
For readers not familiar with this celestial body, 1I/’Oumuamua was the first interstellar object to be discovered passing through our Solar System, is now out of range of our most powerful telescopes and has left scientists with many questions in its wake. A mission to this very strange object, Project Lyra, would seem an ideal way of answering all these questions.
Since a high heliocentric velocity would be needed to catch up with it, such a mission would stretch the limits of current and near-term chemical propulsion technology. However we at i4is have found that it would indeed be feasible. As well as there being several potential feasible mission scenarios to get to 'Oumuamua (as discovered by our research), one of the most investigated and compelling options for such a mission is known as the Solar Oberth Manoeuvre, where the chemical rocket is ignited at a very low perihelion to the Sun, on the order of a few Solar Radii (SR) where one SR is about 695700 km.
In turn, a low perihelion is achieved by the spacecraft flying to Jupiter and then losing all its tangential velocity there, as it turns out that this is the most efficient method of achieving a low perihelion, i.e. the one that uses least ΔV, and so fuel, from the chemical rocket engines.
Various previous studies highlighted a Solar Oberth at 6 SR was the most promising course of action, launching from Earth in a 2030-2033 timeframe and arriving at the destination ‘Oumuamua some 22 years later.

A big fireball just came out! This is how the large fireball that flowed at 6:55:36 on January 15, 2024 was captured by a camera pointing high into the northern sky from Fuji. Apparently there were some areas where an explosion was heard a few minutes later, indicating that a meteorite may have fallen.
The sound of the shock wave was also recorded! This is how the large fireball that flowed at 6:55:36 on January 15, 2024 was captured by another camera from Fuji. A roaring sound rang out at 6:59:39, about four minutes after the fireball appeared.
The large fireball that occurred at 6:55:36 on January 15, 2024 was captured by a camera pointing toward the northwest sky from Hiratsuka's home. Since it flowed after sunrise, it was also a daytime fireball.
