Saturn isn’t just another gas giant — it’s a gravitational stage where some of the most important dramas and actors of our solar system are still unfolding. Every moon, every ring particle, every jet of plasma from its magnetosphere is a piece of the puzzle, and if you watch closely enough, you start to see the evolution of our solar system written into their motions.

The S2 Star and Sagittarius A (orbital simulation)

S2 Orbital Analysis - Elliot Telford

I always like to learn about new concept and ideas, so this morning I woke up and just started to study frame dragging and relativistic effects on stars. I’ve been spending a lot of time with physics lately and have done a full Sagittarius A calculation, which turned out to be a fun way to … Read more

The Trajectory to Mars (Part1)

Mars2020 Mission Launch

Black Hole Projects Explore Over the next few months, the launch window to Mars will open as the planets align for travel. There will be a sweet spot where launch will be fastest; I am going to try to calculate this window! For now, lets do some research on what the heck something like this … Read more
