In the future, we’re expected to have sites on other planets, and the conflict about it is that if they should be called settlement or colonization.
Astronomers using NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) have observed an unusually warm, dusty debris disk around BD +20 307, a binary star system located 300 light-years away in the constellation of Aries. Their results suggest that an extreme collision between two rocky planetary bodies is the most likely origin for the warm dust in the BD +20 307 system.
The find supports the idea that these smashups create many of the elements heavier than iron
