2026-03-24 17:17 Reactionless drive (Propulsion system creating motion without propellant) Reactionless drive refers to hypothetical and unproven forms of spacecraft propulsion that would generate thrust without expelling propellant or other reaction mass. A propellantless drive is not necessarily reactionless if it functions as an open system interacting with external fields, but a reactionless drive is generally conceived as a self-contained or closed-system device, which is why such claims are commonly treated as co ... — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs)

2026-05-06 17:26 Cold spot (astronomy) A lunar cold spot is a region of anomalously low nighttime surface temperature surrounding young impact craters on the Moon's surface. Hypervelocity impacts displace and rarefy material, and ejecta falls to form a “fluffy” surface layer that is less densely packed than surrounding lunar regolith. The resulting region of low surface density has a lower thermal inertia than other material and cools faster after sunset. RabidTuberculosis (talk)
