A key element in one of the simplest anti-stealth systems is cooperation between satellites and aircraft.

The satellites and high-flying platforms that are communicating with combat aircraft and surface-to-air missiles can be a deadly surprise for stealth aircraft. Or at least those systems that are transmitting optical-area data to jet fighters and surface-to-air systems can make stealth systems more vulnerable. Even if the EM-jamming systems can affect the data links of those systems.

The idea of the use of the optical satellites in the anti-stealth role is simple. There is a large group of satellites whose observation area covers the entire operational area. The other way is to use extremely high-altitude flying aircraft or blips. That is using optical seekers and radars along with laser radars or lidars.

The combination of the sensors is making possible to see the stealth fighter by using optical imaging. The radar-based system can see the stealth fighter as a shadow against the ground. A large group of satellites can have various sensors that they can detect low-flying stealth. The idea of the satellite groups is similar to drones.

Each satellite can have only one sensor, but a large group of satellites can replace one expensive and multi-use satellite. And if one of those satellites will be destroyed by low-trajectory ASAT. That thing would not have a large-scale effect on the entirety.

Those satellites are communicating with aircraft that can fly at very low altitudes. In that case, the satellite will send the image of the operational area to the screens of the aircraft. And that will make it possible to aim the missiles at the stealth fighter.

The same system can transmit data to surface-to-air missiles which can use the data that the satellite transmits for traveling to the target zone. The modern anti-aircraft missiles can use image homing that is similar to the javelin missiles to home their targets.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
