NASA's micrometeroid and orbital debris (MMOD) test results from the White Sands Facility.

Following up on the Whipple Shield: at hypervelocity (think 17,000 mph+), physics changes. Solid projectiles undergo a phase transition.

If Your Friend Fell Into a Black Hole, Would the Spaceship Speed Up or Slow Down? - OddbbO World What really happens when you fall into a black hole? From Newton to Einstein, discover why objects appear to freeze at the event horizon.

Quick question: If your friend’s ship fell into a black hole, would it speed up or slow down?

I got it wrong at first—turns out the answer breaks all intuition. Read the full science here 👇 #SpacePhysics

I can’t help but think that the morphodynamic patterns in this video strongly remind me of an #MHD #plasma simulation: continuous flows, deformations along implicit fields, and structures that arise from dynamics rather than static forms. … However, I am biased.

4/9 The ejected boulders reached incredible speeds - nearly 200 kilometres per hour.

Together, these 104 tracked boulders carried almost as much momentum as the DART spacecraft itself, representing 403 cubic metres of material blasted from Dimorphos.
