Salyut-1: The First Space Station That Changed Humanity’s Future
In April 1971, humanity crossed a threshold it had only imagined for decades. A massive cylindrical structure, covered in panels and antennas, rose into the sky atop a roaring launch vehicle. This structure—later known to the world as Salyut-1—became the first human-made space station ever placed into orbit. Until that moment, astronauts and cosmonauts could only leap into space briefly before quickly returning home. Salyut-1 changed everything. For the first time in history, humans could live and work in space for weeks at a time.

AI Phone Reality
Honestly, when I first heard the term "AI Phone," I thought it was a bit of an exaggeration. Back then, AI felt like just another feature—a small part of the phone, not a defining characteristic.

Cosmic Spin Masters: The Stars That Rotate So Fast They Flatten Themselves
When most of us picture a star, we imagine a flawless glowing sphere—something smooth, round, and uniform. But the universe, as usual, loves to surprise us. Some stars defy this classic picture entirely. They spin so rapidly that their shape becomes distorted, stretched, and dramatically flattened. These celestial whirlers are some of the most intriguing objects astronomers have ever observed, and they challenge our understanding of what a star can be.

Cosmic Bridges: The Hidden Gravitational Highways Linking Galaxies
When we look up at the night sky, galaxies appear as isolated islands scattered through an endless, silent ocean. But modern astrophysics paints a very different picture. Rather than drifting alone, galaxies are woven into a vast interconnected structure held together by invisible forces. This structure is threaded with what scientists sometimes call “cosmic bridges” — gravitational channels that link galaxies across unimaginable distances.

New Powerhouses
If you had asked me this question two years ago, I would have paused to think about which industries AI was impacting. But fast-forward to today, 2025, and it’s actually much harder to find a sector that hasn't been touched by AI.
