They then fabricated and flew a 24-inch model on a UAS mothership.
Black holes aren’t stationary in space; in fact, they can be quite active in their movements. But because they are completely dark and can’t be observed
Attempts to model the orbit and predict when the flares would occur took decades,
They say you show your true colors when you’re under pressure.
“And in some models, there just isn’t enough room inside the model to accommodate

If you’ve ever flown on a plane, you’ve probably been in a vehicle that NASA helped develop. Because before something can fly in the sky, it needs to “fly” on
This is usually a scaled-down model, but can even be a full-size vehicle.
