Harvard physicist says meteor fragments might be pieces of 'technological gadget' from outer space

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:20:20 GMT

(NewsNation) — Nearly a decade ago, a meteor traveling faster than 95% of nearby stars crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb says there's a possibility it wasn't a space rock at all. Loeb just returned from an excursion to the Pacific Ocean, the aim of which was to recover pieces of that meteor. He says those fragments could be the remains of a "technological gadget" from another solar system.The 50 tiny spherules, or molten droplets, are believed to be made up of steel-titanium alloy that is stronger than the iron found in other meteors. That, along with the meteor's speed, has Loeb and other researchers sure of one thing: It's not from this solar system.A spherule, or a molten droplet, recovered from the floor of the Pacific Ocean is shown.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:20:20 GMT

OAKLAND — The long “coal war,” as it has become known in Oakland, will come to a head at a trial Monday that pits a prominent East Bay land developer against city officials and a chorus of environmental activists trying to prevent the transport of coal through the city’s harbor.It’s a fight that has stretched on for more than a decade since developer Phil Tagami first received approval from the city to build a large marine terminal for bulk goods at the former Army Base in West Oakland, just across from the Bay Area Toll Bridge on I-80.Ironically, the long delay — created by an extended legal battle, plus settlement talks that ultimately fell apart last year — has now become the city’s main argument for trying to void Tagami’s lease.A superior court judge will decide if Tagami and his corporate partner, Insight Terminal Solutions, breached their lease agreement by not reaching key construction milestones for the 34-acre terminal....
