Mysterious explosion rouses New Hampshire; meteor eyed as possible cause
(Planet Today) The Mid-Atlantic state of New Hampshire was recently roused by a mysterious explosion. Adding to the mystery was the fact that earthquake monitors detected no seismic activity in the region that could have caused the boom. Thus, many speculate that a meteor may have caused the loud explosion felt and heard in different towns in the state.

Residents of New Hampshire reported hearing the explosion on the morning of Oct. 10. Many shared their experiences to news outlets, thinking that an earthquake may have caused it.
New Boston resident Dan Brian said: “There was a kind of a loud boom that rattled our whole house. It had like an audible boom to it. It was very strange, that’s why everyone thought it was like an explosion at first.” Meanwhile, Weare resident Richard Bossart described the explosion as “a huge thump, like a heavy person had landed on their heels on our second floor.”
Manchester residents Daniel and Cindy Howland also reported hearing the explosion. In an email sent to EarthFiles.com, the Howlands reported hearing “a thud followed by a slight metal-like crash noise” that lasted two seconds. The Howlands’ email says: “Cindy [adds that] she felt a vibration that [Daniel] did not probably [feel] because [he] was in the basement.”
New Boston Fire Department (NBFD) Chief Dan MacDonald likewise confirmed the explosion, saying that he himself heard the boom and felt a “slight vibration.” Soon after, the NBFD chief received an influx of calls reporting the explosion.
Local New Hampshire television station WMUR 9 reported that many of its viewers sent emails about the explosion. A viewer from Merrimack said the huge bang caused their house to shake, while another resident from Goffstown said the shaking caused a picture on their wall to fall. A third resident, this time from Fitzwilliam, also said that they experienced the shaking at around 11:30 a.m. of Oct. 10.
Explosion had nothing to do with earthquakes or military aircraft
Officials from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) insist they have found no evidence of earthquakes or any seismic activity in the New England region during the past week. Geophysicist Paul Caruso of the USGS National Earthquake Center in Golden Colorado says he found nothing in his Oct. 10 seismographs that indicated an earthquake had occurred.
Weston Observatory scientist John Ebel concurs with the USGS report. “We see nothing on our seismic stations [indicating] that there was any earthquake activity in the middle of the day in New Hampshire.”
The explosion also has nothing to do with military aircraft, the New Hampshire Department of Safety (DOS) insists. DOS Public Information Officer Paul Raymond says that the Federal Aviation Administration‘s Regional Operations Center reported “no military plane activity over New Hampshire on Sunday morning.” Raymond adds that statewide 911 only received one report of the explosion, while New Hampshire State Police received none.
Given that the explosion was unrelated to earthquakes or military aircraft, scientists posit that the explosion may have been caused by a meteor. Ebel says: “I would look for a natural event, something coming into the atmosphere past the speed of sound.” He mentions the possibility of a meteor or meteorite “probably causing enough energy to be released that people heard it here down on the ground.”
Other scientists appear to support Ebel’s theory. They attribute the explosion to a sonic boom from a meteor entering the atmosphere at supersonic speed and quickly burning up. While proving that a meteor is behind the explosion requires people to have seen it, the overcast skies in the region on that day may have prevented people from spotting it.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientist Ryan Volz is one of those agreeing with the meteor theory. “The Earth is always passing through this sort of dust of sporadic meteoroids … [that are] mostly very small, dust-sized particles. They’re creating meteor events that no one notices except scientists that try and look for them. But sometimes, you get these bigger meteoroids, and they create something that everybody notices,” he says.

NASA Discovers Hyper-Speed Object That Could Break Free from the Milky Way
According to NASA, a rogue, hyper-speed object, which is over
27,306 times the size of Earth, is hurtling so fast through our galaxy
that it might break free of the Milky Way.
Scientists say they have determined that the mysterious object was
cruising at a breakneck one million miles per hour when they spotted it
more than 400 light years from Earth. One light-year is equal to six
trillion miles.
Could this latest find be connected to the fake alien invasion that has long been in the pipeline?
The Mail Online reorts: While experts have not determined what the newfound celestial body is, they speculated it is a ‘brown dwarf,’ a star which is larger than a planet but lacks the mass to sustain long-term nuclear fusion in its core like Earth’s sun.
If the object confirmed as a brown dwarf, it would be first-ever to
be documented in a chaotic, hyper-speed orbit capable of breaking free
from our home galaxy.
A coalition of citizen-scientists with NASA’s ‘Backyard Worlds: Planet 9’ projectwere the first to spot the celestial body, the US space agency confirmed this week.
‘I can’t describe the level of excitement,’ German citizen-scientist Martin Kabatnik, a long-time member of NASA’s Backyard Worlds program, said in statement.
‘When I first saw how fast it was moving,’ the Nuremberg-based
researcher confessed, ‘I was convinced it must have been reported
already.’
Backyard Worlds citizen-scientists Martin Kabatnik, Thomas P. Bickle
and Dan Caselden were the first to spot this million mph object a few
years ago, earning the hyper-speed object the catalogued name CWISE
J124909.08+362116.0.
According to astronomer Dr Kyle Kremer,
who has collaborated with them on better understanding the object,
several astrophysics theories could explain how the object, CWISE J1249
for short, could have gotten to its incredible speed.
In one theory, CWISE J1249 rocketed out of a two star or binary star
system after its ‘white dwarf’ sister star died off — collapsing in an
explosive runaway nuclear fusion reaction called a supernova.
Another viable theory has it that CWISE J1249 originated inside a
tight cluster of starts called a ‘globular cluster’ where it was flung
free via the pull of a black hole.
‘When a star encounters a black hole binary,’ Dr Kremer said in a
NASA statement on the discovery, ‘the complex dynamics of this
three-body interaction can toss that star right out of the globular
cluster.’

Polish astronaut prepares for 2025 flight to ISS

Sławosz Uznański will be the second Pole in space and the first to fly to the International Space Station (ISS).
Uznański revealed that his mission to the ISS is planned for 2025 and will last about two weeks. He will launch from Cape Canaveral on a rocket provided by SpaceX. This journey not only represents a significant milestone for Uznański but also for Polish space exploration.
Last year, Uznański was officially selected for this mission, after which he commenced his training at the European Space Agency’s facility in Cologne, Germany. Initially planned for 2024, the mission faced delays, but new details have recently emerged on Uznański’s social media profiles.
During his two-week stay on the ISS, he will focus on Polish scientific projects and technology tests, including artificial intelligence applications in space and studies on the effects of microgravity on the human immune system.
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) received numerous project proposals for Uznański’s mission. Due to limited space, only seven were selected, highlighting the extensive interest and potential impact of this mission.
Uznański will travel to the ISS in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, a vehicle regularly used by NASA for transporting astronauts. The Crew Dragon will be mounted atop a Falcon 9 rocket, with the launch also set to take place at Cape Canaveral. While the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed, preparations are in full swing.
In a move to further his training, Uznański has relocated to Houston, Texas. Starting Monday, he will begin a new training phase at Axiom Space, a partner in the mission, followed by sessions at NASA and SpaceX facilities. This mission not only propels Uznański into space but also significantly advances Poland’s stature in the global aerospace sector.
