I just finished the most recent season of The Expanse – my current favourite Sci-Fi series. Unlike most of my other go-to Sci-Fi, The Expanse's narrative is (thus far) mainly contained to our own Solar System. In Star Trek, ships fly about the galaxy at Faster-Than-Light speeds giving mention to the many light years (or parsecs *cough* Star Wars) travelled to say nothing of sublight journeys within solar systems themselves. The distances between stars is huge.
In The Expanse, ships use a fictional sublight propulsion called The Epstein Drive to travel quickly through the Solar System at significant fractions of light speed. We're not nearly there yet, but we are getting closer with the announcement of a new theoretical sublight propulsion . It won't be an Epstein drive, but it may come to be known as the Ebrahimi Drive – an engine inspired by fusion reactors and the incredible power of solar Coronal Mass Ejections.
This may worth something:
NeoVolta's Energy Storage Systems Can Connect to Any Residential Solar System Other OTC:NEOV
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeoVolta Inc. (OTCQB: NEOV) – NeoVolta's Smart Energy Storage Solutions has set the standard for compatibility. They can be connected to both state-of-the art and legacy home solar systems, AC or DC. So while some competitors have been promoting their compatibility with Enphase Energy's legacy M215 and M250 micro-inverter based solar systems, for NeoVolta that is just a small piece of the system compatibility.
Earlier home solar systems required an inverter to convert the DC solar power they generated to household Alternating Current (AC). Because NeoVolta's NV14 storage system includes a highly capable inverter, it can be connected directly with Direct Current (DC) solar panels. This makes it an ideal retrofit. The NV14 integrates equally well with AC solar panels.
Clean Energy, Lower Bills Are Stars of Croton's New Solar System – River Journal Online
A core group of 5 0 h o meowners in Croton-on-Hudson are p articipating in a community solar project t o provide them w ith clean, locally-sourced energy to reduce electric bills and emissions.
In early January 2021, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson' s Department of Public Works (DPW) marked the completion of a 765-panel solar installation built on the roof of the DPW building on Yorktown Road .
Researchers map the "freeways" of the solar system
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have discovered “shortcuts.” The Solar System We can help Spacecraft And fast travel studies. Created these “space highways” Gravity Of planets and lasts only a few decades.
According to scientists, these pathways lead Comets and asteroids Next Thursday Up to Neptune (About 646 million kilometers) in less than a decade – and 100 astronomical units (14 billion kilometers, i.e. 100 times the distance between the Sun and the Earth), within a century. These structures, described as “curves of chaos”, are described in an article Posted in Scientific advances .
Not to change the topic here:
Solar system formation in two steps -- ScienceDaily
An international team of researchers from the University of Oxford, LMU Munich, ETH Zurich, BGI Bayreuth, and the University of Zurich discovered that a two-step formation process of the early Solar System can explain the chronology and split in volatile and isotope content of the inner and outer Solar System.

The paper presents a new theoretical framework for the formation and structure of the Solar System that can explain several key features of the terrestrial planets (like Earth, Venus, and Mars), outer Solar System (like Jupiter), and composition of asteroids and meteorite families.

Harvard Astronomer Claims Aliens Visited Our Solar System in 2017
What was your biggest fascination when you were a child? I am sure, for most of us who grew up watching Hrithik Roshan and his Jadoo, the idea of aliens and the other extraterrestrial beings successfully captivated our hearts and minds.
Do not look at me—I am not saying that! It is one of the top astronomers who have claimed something similar in the premise of one of his new books.
Abraham Loeb is an Israeli-American theoretical physicist known for his exceptional contribution to astrophysics and cosmology. Currently, he is the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University.
