Previous warp drive designs relied on a source of exotic matter unknown to physics.
The new design reimagines the shape of warped spacetime to allow for normal matter and energy to be used instead.
Warp drive is having a moment. Just last week, scientists dropped a bombshell when they unveiled the first physical model for a warp drive, the holy grail of space travel that would allow us to bend the fabric of space and time to their will and overcome the vast distances separating humans from the stars. Now, another astrophysicist has delivered an equally exciting warp drive breakthrough.
Watch the jaw-dropping moment NASA's Perseverance rover lands on Mars. It's the first time we've ever witnessed a spacecraft touch down on another planet.
The Wolf Moon, the First Full Moon of the Year, Will Reach Its Peak Today Jake Smith
The Wolf Moon, the first full moon of 2021 >P, reaches peak illumination at 2:16 p.m. EST on Thursday, January 28, 2021.
With a long, high arc, the Wolf Moon is one of the easiest full moons to spot this year.
Named for the howling of wolves often heard this time of year, January’s full moon also roughly marks the halfway point of winter.
January is a time for new beginnings, both for you
and the cosmic calendar. What better way to ring in the changes of 2021 than with the first full moon of the year?

At the request of President Joe Biden, a moon rock is now on display in the Oval Office.
Lunar sample 76015,143 is a remnant from a violent asteroid impact on the moon’s surface.
Astronauts collected the sample during Apollo 17, the final mission to the moon.
As President Joe Biden took the oath of office on the steps of the Capitol building on Wednesday, White House staffers busily prepared the Oval Office for his arrival. They added a bust of Caesar Chavez behind the resolute desk, swapped out one set of gold curtains for another, and replaced a portrait of Andrew Jackson with that of Benjamin Franklin, among other changes.
