North Sea oil tanker fire still raging as governments probe causes.
United States, Portuguese and British authorities are investigating what caused a cargo ship to collide with an oil tanker carrying jet fuel for the US military off the coast of eastern England.
With the fire still blazing, UK minister Matthew Pennycook said the three governments were working together but he refused to speculate on potential causes, including foul play.

Active #satellites 
must perform an increasing 
number of #collision avoidance manoeuvres to dodge out of the way of other satellites and fragments of #SpaceDebris. Another factor is the high level of solar 
activity which can often cause increased atmospheric drag. If we extrapolate current trends into the future, catastrophic collision 
numbers could rise significantly https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/ESA_Space_Environment_Report_2024

Cutting staff from the #SpaceTraffic program, which currently alerts #satellite operators of potential collisions with debris or other spacecraft, complicates a years-long effort to migrate those alerting 
duties out of the Pentagon. A #collision notice is an alert that a satellite could collide with another object in space.

Two antennae galaxies colliding. Scientists from the University of Southampton believe galaxies crashed together to create gigantic elliptical galaxies.
