Universe simulator

SpaceEngine is a realistic virtual Universe you can explore on your computer. You can travel from star to star, from galaxy to galaxy, landing on any planet, moon, or asteroid with the ability to explore its alien landscape. You can alter the speed of time and observe any celestial phenomena you please. All transitions are completely seamless, and this virtual universe has a size of billions of light-years across and contains trillions upon trillions of planetary systems. The procedural generation is based on real scientific knowledge, so SpaceEngine depicts the universe the way it is thought to be by modern science. Real celestial objects are also present if you want to visit them, including the planets and moons of our Solar system, thousands of nearby stars with newly discovered exoplanets, and thousands of galaxies that are currently known.

New NASA Black Hole Visualization Takes Viewers Beyond the Brink

Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, a black hole’s point of no return.

“People often ask about this, and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to actual consequences in the real universe,” said Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who created the visualizations. “So I simulated two different scenarios, one where a camera — a stand-in for a daring astronaut — just misses the event horizon and slingshots back out, and one where it crosses the boundary, sealing its fate.”

The visualizations are available in multiple forms. Explainer videos act as sightseeing guides, illuminating the bizarre effects of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Versions rendered as 360-degree videos let viewers look all around during the trip, while others play as flat all-sky maps.

To create the visualizations, Schnittman teamed up with fellow Goddard scientist Brian Powell and used the Discover supercomputer at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation . The project generated about 10 terabytes of data — equivalent to roughly half of the estimated text content in the Library of Congress — and took about 5 days running on just 0.3% of Discover’s 129,000 processors. The same feat would take more than a decade on a typical laptop.

The destination is a supermassive black hole with 4.3 million times the mass of our Sun, equivalent to the monster located at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

“If you have the choice, you want to fall into a supermassive black hole,” Schnittman explained. “Stellar-mass black holes, which contain up to about 30 solar masses,  possess much smaller event horizons and stronger tidal forces, which can rip apart approaching objects before they get to the horizon.”

This occurs because the gravitational pull on the end of an object nearer the black hole is much stronger than that on the other end. Infalling objects stretch out like noodles, a process astrophysicists call spaghettification .

The simulated black hole’s event horizon spans about 16 million miles (25 million kilometers), or about 17% of the distance from Earth to the Sun. A flat, swirling cloud of hot, glowing gas called an accretion disk surrounds it and serves as a visual reference during the fall. So do glowing structures called photon rings, which form closer to the black hole from light that has orbited it one or more times. A backdrop of the starry sky as seen from Earth completes the scene.

As the camera approaches the black hole, reaching speeds ever closer to that of light itself, the glow from the accretion disk and background stars becomes amplified in much the same way as the sound of an oncoming racecar rises in pitch. Their light appears brighter and whiter when looking into the direction of travel.

The movies begin with the camera located nearly 400 million miles (640 million kilometers) away, with the black hole quickly filling the view. Along the way, the black hole’s disk, photon rings, and the night sky become increasingly distorted — and even form multiple images as their light traverses the increasingly warped space-time.

In real time, the camera takes about 3 hours to fall to the event horizon, executing almost two complete 30-minute orbits along the way. But to anyone observing from afar, it would never quite get there. As space-time becomes ever more distorted closer to the horizon, the image of the camera would slow and then seem to freeze just shy of it. This is why astronomers originally referred to black holes as “frozen stars.”

At the event horizon, even space-time itself flows inward at the speed of light, the cosmic speed limit. Once inside it, both the camera and the space-time in which it's moving rush toward the black hole's center — a one-dimensional point called a singularity , where the laws of physics as we know them cease to operate.

“Once the camera crosses the horizon, its destruction by spaghettification is just 12.8 seconds away,” Schnittman said. From there, it’s only 79,500 miles (128,000 kilometers) to the singularity. This final leg of the voyage is over in the blink of an eye.

In the alternative scenario, the camera orbits close to the event horizon but it never crosses over and escapes to safety. If an astronaut flew a spacecraft on this 6-hour round trip while her colleagues on a mothership remained far from the black hole, she’d return 36 minutes younger than her colleagues. That’s because time passes more slowly near a strong gravitational source and when moving near the speed of light.

“This situation can be even more extreme,” Schnittman noted. “If the black hole were rapidly rotating, like the one shown in the 2014 movie ‘Interstellar,’ she would return many years younger than her shipmates.”

4. Space-flight

This guide is also available in video format. Click below to watch the video or scroll down for the written version.

Follow along the steps below in APEX.

1. General information

Fleet overview.

To access your ships, enter the fleet command, FLT, or click its shortcut in the left sidebar. In the new buffer, you can see details about each of your ships: its unique transponder code; its name; its cargo and fuel fill levels; its status (meaning if it’s currently moving around); its location; and, while it’s moving, its destination and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).

FTL vs. STL travel

There are two modes of travel: STL (slower than light) and FTL (faster than light). Note that these two need different kinds of fuel, as you can see when you click the fuel bars of one of your ships in the fleet overview:

Each of the dots on the Universe Map (command: MU NAV) represents a star and its planetary system. Going from one star to another means travelling a vast distance, which is only possible by FTL travel. The lines between systems represent the flight routes for FTL travel.

On the Universe map, you can toggle the display of different types of information on or off in the bottom right corner. Toggling FTL traffic on reveals triangular bars, which appear in all systems ships have jumped to FTL from , meaning that their destination systems and any systems on their way there aren’t accounted for. At the bottom, you can change the time window you want to be displayed, e.g. to only see traffic data from the past hour.

The bar at the bottom shows a gradient from brown to yellow. The number on the left is the smallest number of jumps performed in any system where a ship has jumped, and the number on the right is the highest number - again, within the designated time period. The color of the triangular bars corresponds to the gradient, and so does their height; the higher a bar, the more traffic the system has seen. The display of STL traffic works the same, showing systems in which ships have traveled below lightspeed.

If you click a system on the Universe Map, you can see its star and the orbiting planets. Traveling within a system - between planets or space stations - is done at a much slower speed, which is where STL travel comes into play.

2. Moving ships

In the following example, the ship is on the planet Vallis and will be sent to the planet Montem in the same system. Distances within a system are short enough to be bridged by STL travel.

2.1 STL travel

To prepare the next steps, select the ship you would like to move by clicking its transponder code in the FLT window. Open the System Map of its current system from the context menu at the top of the SHP buffer. You do not usually have to take this step, but it will help you understand how things work.

Entering a destination

To send your ship on its way, first click FLY in its row in the Fleet buffer. In the SFC window that opened up, you need to enter a planet or station ID of the ship’s destination. For example, enter “Montem”, and the Ship Flight Control will find it. Once that happened, a preview of your flight route will appear in the respective System map you just opened. In the SFC buffer, a list of travel segments appears:

Please disregard the indicated travel times in this screenshot. It was taken in a severely sped-up simulation.

Many planets are currently unnamed, and you are going to need to enter their ID, which consists of the system ID followed by a letter representing the desired planet. Note that named planets also have an ID. In this example, the system Moria’s ID is XH-619. Opening Montem’s Planet buffer, we can see its ID is XH-619 - for Moria - followed by “c” for Montem itself.

Setting fuel usage

Now it is time to set the desired values in the SFC window. If your target is a planet, toggle “Surface landing” on or off depending on what you would like to do. In order to deliver or pick up wares on a commodity exchange on a planet, your ship needs to land. If it does not land, it will be displayed in orbit like this upon arrival:

The next thing you can set is the desired fuel usage. The higher you set this, the sooner your ship will arrive. You can order your pilot to do a hard and fast burn towards the target, then flip and do another hard burn in the opposite direction to slow down. However, this is a very costly way of going places. It might even happen that you do not have enough fuel for such a maneuver. In that case, the Ship Flight Control will let you know and the flight cannot be started.

Setting the fuel usage to a lower value means that your ship will be doing a lot less accelerating, which results in longer travel times. If you set the slider to a low value and the system does not accept it, you have selected a value below the minimum fuel required for the selected journey. In this case, you need to set the fuel usage to a higher value. Note that if the slider does not go all the way up to 100 %, that is because the distance is too short for your ship’s engine to burn up all of the available fuel. The longer the transit and the stronger the engine, the higher this value can go up.

By moving the slider around, you can not only see exactly how many units of fuel your ship is going to need, but also the exact travel distance. It changes around because the relative positions of the planets change as they orbit around their star, and the slower your ship travels, the more they will move between its departure and arrival. This is oftentimes negligible, however if you really want to save fuel and you do not care when the flight takes place, you can wait for the closest approach of two planets before you send your ship on its way.

Order your flight by hitting “START” in the Ship Flight Control. You can now see in the fleet window that the ship’s location has changed to “in transit”, and a destination and Estimated Time of Arrival are being displayed. The ship’s flight can be reverted by hitting “ABORT” in the Fleet window. When the ship arrives, the Notification signal in the upper right corner lights up to let you know that the transit was completed successfully.

2.2 FTL travel

What if your target planet or station is orbiting a different star? To travel between systems, your ship needs to jump to FTL. Open up the Universe map (command: MU NAV) and pick a destination planet or station in another system. In this example, the destination planet is Deimos, or CY-942d.

Like with STL travel, you first need to open up the Ship Flight Control by hitting “FLY”. When entering a planet ID from a different system, a few more lines pop up than before. Besides switching between orbit and planet surface and selecting the STL fuel usage, you can now also set the Reactor usage of your FTL drive.

You might wonder why STL fuel is also required. In the past, there have been a few instances of ships jumping to FTL while still close to a celestial body. Because this is highly dangerous and has resulted in mass casualties more than once, it is now required by law that every ship move far enough away from its starting planet before performing an FTL jump.

Once a destination has been entered in the SFC buffer, the System Map shows a preview of the ship’s STL flight path and the exact point where its FTL engine takes over. This bit is called “departure”.

The same provisions are in place for the “approach” section of an FTL flight. Since dropping out of FTL in the vicinity of a celestial body is also prohibited, the ship will leave FTL in a safe distance to the target planet within the target system and then utilize its STL drive to close the gap. Note that departure and approach segments taking place before and after an FTL jump do not count towards the STL traffic data displayed in the Universe Map.

Now set the values for your flight. Switching between the surface and orbit as well as adjusting the FTL fuel usage works just as before. Changing the Reactor usage impacts how much FTL fuel is going to be used up and how long the trip is going to be. At the bottom, you can see the exact segments of your flight. The abbreviations on the left indicate the type of each segment: DEP (departure), JMP (jump), CHRG (charge), and APP (approach).

If the target system is not directly adjacent to your ship’s current system, you might be wondering why your ship passes through several other systems on its way. FTL drives, while capable of speeds faster than light, do not allow for instantaneous jumps from one place to another. Instead, they travel from star to star (displayed as dots on the Universe map) using FTL routes (displayed as lines).

Once you send your ship on the way, its status in the FLT window will change from “stationary” to “departing”. When it reaches its jump point, you can see the ship’s position on the Universe Map. Every time the ship reaches a system, it will drop out of FTL for a short while and recharge its FTL for the next jump. During that period, its status in the Fleet window changes to “charging”. Once the ship has arrived at the target system, its status changes to “approaching”, and as soon as it reaches its destination planet, you will get a Notification in the top right corner, just like before.

2.3 Refueling

In the Fleet window, you can see each of your ships’ current fill level of STL fuel - the orange bar - and FTL fuel - the blue bar. Click the bars to get a closer look of your fuel tanks. How much fuel they can carry is limited by the weight and volume the respective type of fuel takes up. In this respect, they work exactly like resources in a planetary inventory.

Keep in mind that, when planning a flight, you possibly need to account for the return flight as well. If your ship ends up empty on a planet with no Commodity Exchange, it is stranded there until it gets refueled. This is done by dragging and dropping the desired fuel into its fuel tank from a source in the same place, which can be a base’s inventory, the ship’s own cargo hold, or another ship’s cargo hold.

Please note that two ships orbiting the same planet do not count as “in one place”, and neither do ships orbiting the same star. Ships need to be landed on the same planet or station in order to refuel each other.

To practice your newly acquired skills, feel free to set up some flight paths to preview them without actually sending your ships on the way, and you will get the hang of it quickly.

2.4 Aborting flights

If you already sent a ship on its way and changed your mind about it, you can abort the flight in the ship’s Flight Control window.

The following rules apply to aborting flights:

• The flight is not immediately aborted. The current segment (DEP, JMP etc.) will be completed.
• If the flight is aborted during the CHRG segment, the ship will also have to finish the ensuing jump to release its energy.
• If the flight is aborted during a jump, the ship will arrive at a random orbit in its current target system.
• Fuel is deducted per segment, at the beginning of each segment.

How a Physics Professor Helped Shape Interdimensional Travel in 'Dark Matter'

Apple TV Plus subscribers can watch new episodes of the sci-fi series on Wednesdays.

• Apple software beta tester, "Helps make our computers and phones work!" - Zach's grandparents

Dark Matter has some real scientific theories at its core.

Blake Crouch isn't a scientist, but that didn't stop him from including real scientific theories in his bestselling novel Dark Matter and the Apple TV Plus sci-fi thriller based on it. One theory that really stuck with him was that of alternate universes.

Dark Matter was originally published in 2016.

"I got really turned on by the idea of multiple realities and more so the science behind it," Crouch told me in an interview. "I [thought] it would be really cool to write a novel about quantum physics." 

Crouch said he didn't take any science or math courses in college. So to incorporate quantum physics into the book and show, he worked with Clifford Johnson, a physics professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I talked with Johnson about the physics behind the fiction. 

"It really is a compelling story all about the choices we make in our lives," Johnson said. "It's a real pleasure to see that much science upfront, and so I helped [Crouch] develop a lot of the ideas."

The main theory Dark Matter explores is that of the multiverse: the theory that there are infinite other universes beyond our own. To explore this theory, the show uses an interdimensional travel device called "the box." 

The box is a hefty contraption that might not be as visually appealing as similar devices in other works of science fiction, like Back to the Future's DeLorean or Dr. Who's Tardis, but there are real theories behind how it might work. Who knows, maybe these theories will lead to breakthroughs in the world of physics, or maybe they already have in another universe.

How does the box work in Dark Matter?

Dark Matter's box is an example of an interdimensional travel device . According to TV Tropes , these kinds of devices allow a person or group of people to travel to another universe. That journey starts with the box.

In Dark Matter, characters enter the box -- which blocks out everything from the outside -- and take a mind-altering drug. Our characters then imagine the reality they want before exiting the box to a different universe. Johnson explained that the box is a way to visualize all possible outcomes for a superposed quantum state. 

OK, explain it to me like I'm five, please

It's no DeLorean, but the box will still get you to another universe.

An easier way to understand this, and superposed quantum states, is by using the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment. 

The gist of the experiment is you put a cat in a sealed box that you can't see into, along with something that can kill it, like poison or radioactive material. Then, because you can't interact with what's inside the box or see whether the item in the box killed the cat or not, you can't observe whether the cat is dead or alive at any given moment. Therefore the cat is both at the same time -- it's in a superposition of both dead and alive. Only after you've opened the box and observed the cat can you report on the cat's state.

Johnson said that the cat in the experiment has two possible outcomes -- alive or dead -- but when a person enters the box in Dark Matter, they have many outcomes they can choose from. Dark Matter's box is in essence the inverse of Schrödinger's cat. Instead of an observer not being able to see or interact with a small portion of reality, the observer can't see or interact with anything outside of a small portion of reality (the box). 

So, the way the Dark Matter box works is that a person enters it, imagines the reality they want to be in with the help of a drug and then exits the box to the reality they constructed with their mind. While the person is in the box, they put themselves in a state of superposition among all the different realities, and the one they focus on becomes real once they observe it by leaving the box.

Could the box really work?

Maybe we'll invent a device like the box one day.

Maybe, but we may never know. Some people have posited theories on reality similar to those posed in Dark Matter. 

"The guys who won the Nobel Prize for physics in ['22] were talking about nonlocality and the idea that objective reality doesn't exist," Crouch said. "There's no independent reality that is just hanging out there without conscious, biocentric beings observing it."

Others have said similar things. Robert Lanza , an adjunct professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, developed a theory of biocentrism that argues that consciousness is the driving force behind reality and the universe, not the other way around.

"Nothing has existence unless you, I, or some living creature perceives it," Lanza wrote in the American Scholar in 2007 . "The images you see are a construction by the brain. Everything you are experiencing right now… is being actively generated in your mind."

The biggest obstacle to proving these theories is building a device like the box. Crouch and Johnson both said designing the box was a challenge since it had to block out everything -- and I truly mean everything -- for a person to be in superposition.

"Things like temperature, anything above absolute zero," Crouch said. "Or neutrinos flying through our atmosphere, constantly flying through our bodies… Variations in wind, temperature, all these things…"

Any shifts in these variables would cause the box to simply be a hunk of metal since those shifts would act on the person inside the box, taking them out of a superposed state. 

"We've never built anything like that and it's not clear that we really can," Johnson said. "But it's fun to imagine what that might look like if you could."

Are there any other ways to get to alternate universes if they exist?

If entering a state of superposition to enter into another reality seems a little too far out there, perhaps a black hole can help. This might sound as fantastical as Dark Matter's box, but renowned physicist Stephen Hawking entertained the idea. Hawking theorized that a black hole could function as a passage to somewhere else, including another universe.

"They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought," Hawking said in a 2008 lecture . "Things can get out of a black hole, both to the outside, and possibly, to another universe. So if you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out."

We don't know for certain what would happen if a person fell into a black hole, but Gaurav Khanna , a physics professor at the University of Rhode Island , told me in an interview that a person might be able to survive the encounter. 

Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Khanna and a team of researchers found that if a person, or spacecraft, fell into a supermassive black hole, like Gargantua in the film Interstellar or Sagittarius A* in our own solar system, it might be a smooth and steady ride. 

"While we don't know what the other side of a black hole connects to," Khanna said, "If we make a leap of faith and envision that the other side of a black hole connects to another part of our universe, or perhaps another dimension, then you could smoothly, without much discomfort, go from one to the other."

Khanna said that a black hole must meet three criteria for it to possibly function as a portal: it has to be considered supermassive, it has to be old and it must be rotating. If a black hole doesn't meet those requirements, like it's too small, well…

"The smaller [the black hole], the worse it's going to be," Khanna said. "Even if you go to a black hole the size of our sun, I don't think there's any hope of surviving."

So we could travel to other universes with the right conditions?

"This is not a blueprint on how to travel to other worlds," Crouch said. "This is a speculative idea that says, 'Oh if we had a few things, a few advances in these certain areas of technology, then perhaps we can start having a conversation about how macroscopic objects exist in a state of superposition.'"

If traveling to another universe by getting a person into a state of superposition like in Dark Matter proves unreliable, a supermassive black hole might do the trick. 

"The door's open a little bit," Khanna said. "We have some understanding, experimentally, that this could actually work."

The Morning

When travel plans go awry.

There are ways of keeping ourselves anchored, even when we enter a parallel universe disconnected from time.

By Melissa Kirsch

The weekend trip is, in theory, the perfect break. Two nights someplace else, just a small duffel bag and limited logistics standing between you and a reset. Leave on Friday, come back Sunday, fill the hours in between with enough that’s novel and return refreshed, or at least with a slightly altered perspective. You might take a weekend trip for vacation or work or to see family, but the effect is the same. You’re a little changed on return. You see your regular life a little bit differently.

I took what was meant to be a quick trip last weekend to attend a college graduation, and it was, strictly speaking, quick: I was scarcely away for 48 hours, but extreme weather marooned me for most of those hours in the liminal spaces of transit — airports, grounded planes, traffic jams — where time loses legibility. An old friend used to call these neither-here-nor-there realms the “zero world” for the way they feel unfastened from reality, parallel to daily life but separate. The flight cabin after an announcement of a fourth lightning delay is a world detached from the one you know, a temporary society populated by temporary citizens with perhaps not much in common save one deeply held belief: We need to get out of here.

I was as cranky and impatient as the rest of my fellow travelers at each complication in our journeys, but also fascinated by the communities and customs and Cibo Express markets of the zero world. Each of us was, at any given time, one captain’s announcement away from a temper tantrum, but we were also competitively careful to be polite to one another and to the airline staff, as if determined to demonstrate that those wild videos of short-tempered passengers being duct-taped to their seats did not represent us, the makeshift civilization of this departure lounge.

Graduation, when I finally arrived, was a joyous affair despite the glitches. The speaker, an astronaut, showed a photo of the farm where she grew up, the place she thought of as home for much of her life. Then she showed a photo of the limb of the Earth, the glowing edge of the atmosphere, and described how, when she went to space, home was no longer a town on a map but this planet, a shift in perspective so massive I felt a little queasy contemplating it.

On Hour 3 in the airport bar on Sunday morning, beside two German travelers practicing Spanish, I ordered an omelet and imagined my own home, which felt very far away and lit by its own otherworldly halo. What would I be doing if I were there? Reading, texting, catching up on emails — the same things I was doing here. What was so bad about this? Was it the lack of choice? The lack of fresh air?

It was all those things, and also the feeling of being trapped in a warp between origin and destination. My emotions felt out of proportion to the situation: I hadn’t traveled very far for very long, was in no peril and would still arrive in New York with enough day left to do whatever needed to be done, but I felt on the verge of tears, loosed from my moorings, floating between fixed points, dislocated. I put on my headphones, put on a favorite band whose songs are so familiar they provide a home base no matter where I am. I listened to the same album on repeat for the duration of the flight, in the car on the way home, even at home once I finally made it there.

There’s a story in The Times today about how A.S.M.R., the pleasant, brain-tingling feeling we get when hearing certain sounds or watching certain comforting scenes, has become a feature of all viral internet content, not just specialized videos devoted to inducing the sensation. You can still put on a very specific video of someone whispering into a microphone or crinkling paper, but you’re just as likely to find the stimuli in videos of people cooking or cleaning their pools. This seems like a logical extension. We’re restless beasts in need of soothing. Sometimes we’re dramatically homesick, sometimes it’s just a bad day. Why not imbue the mundane with the choreography of comfort? Why not add pleasure whenever and wherever we can?

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow, and if your mom has a sweet tooth (and if so, I can relate), Jane Grigson’s strawberry shortcake as adapted by Nancy Harmon Jenkins might be just the thing for a celebratory brunch. Make the biscuit dough and cut out the rounds the day before (just keep them in the fridge until baking time). Then, while they’re in the oven, you can macerate the berries (any kind you like) with sugar and prep the whipped cream. Be sure to save any leftover biscuits. They’re excellent toasted for breakfast the next day.

ADVICE FROM WIRECUTTER

Food processors, blenders and choppers.

Countertop appliances can help you get a meal on the table faster, often with less work and a quicker cleanup. But deciding which gizmo is best for you can be a challenge. It depends on what kinds of foods you most frequently prepare, Wirecutter’s kitchen experts say. For example, if your main goal is to reduce the time you spend prepping ingredients, a food processor is likely your best bet. If you demand the smoothest, silkiest textures from your soups, sauces and smoothies (and have ample storage space), consider a full-size blender. Oh, and those TikTok-famous manual vegetable choppers ? No one needs those. — Rose Lorre

Things To Do

Travel | carnival says cruise ship will return to baltimore next sunday, two months after key bridge collapse.

A Carnival Cruise Line ship that rerouted its departure to Norfolk, Virginia, will return to Baltimore on Sunday as scheduled, the company said in a news release.

Last week, Royal Caribbean said a ship would be leaving Baltimore this coming Saturday “as planned.”

The Dali cargo ship was refloated Monday morning, and the Key Bridge Response Unified Command said Monday afternoon that a 50-feet deep, 400-feet wide channel will be open “soon.” The original 50-feet deep, 700-feet wide channel is expected to be fully restored by the end of the month.

While the ship was stuck in the Patapsco River following its March 26 crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, cruise ships have been rerouted through Norfolk.

“We are extremely grateful to the officials and incredible first responders in Baltimore, who’ve shown great leadership and resolve in this difficult time, as well as our supportive partners in Norfolk, whose rapid response allowed us to continue to deliver our scheduled sailings for our guests,” Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said in the release. “It’s been our goal to resume operations in Baltimore as soon as possible, and after working closely with local, state and federal agencies, we look forward to a successful return.”

In 2023, Maryland Port Administration spokesperson Richard Scher said, 444,000 passengers boarded cruises in the terminal, the highest total since 2012. Eight cruise ships are scheduled to depart in June. The cruise terminal primarily services ships from Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines, and the Norwegian Cruise Line also occasionally uses it.

Outer range’s time travel rules just got way more confusing after season 2.

Outer Range Season 2 Reveals What Happened To Rebecca (& It’s Not What I Was Expecting)

Outer range season 2 retcons josh brolin’s character backstory with a time travel twist i didn’t see coming, outer range's abbott family tree explained.

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Outer Range season 2.

• Time travel in Outer Range season 2 is now more mysterious than ever between paradoxes and changes to the timeline.
• The finale indicates the possibility of a rewritten timeline or branching into alternate realities.
• Perry preventing himself from killing Trevor could change everything in Outer Range.

Outer Range season 2 makes the show’s time travel rules way more confusing but also sets up some interesting possibilities for season 3. After introducing a lot of mystery boxes in season 1, Outer Range dove into the show’s sci-fi elements and visited at least five different periods in season 2. Between changes made to the past and Amy becoming Autumn in the future , Josh Brolin’s new Western proves how tricky time travel stories can be to follow.

During most of season 1, Royal was the only confirmed Outer Rage character to have used the Hole to travel through time, excluding Trevor’s body. By the end of Outer Range season 2’s finale , however, several characters had traveled through time with the help of the Hole. This includes Perry, Joy, and Amy, the last of whom was kidnapped by Autumn and pushed into the future.

Outer Range Season 2 Makes The Show’s Time Travel More Confusing

Joy’s trip to 1882 and perry saving trevor change everything.

Outer Range season 2 included multiple instances of time travel, all of which made the show’s rules even trickier to follow. Firstly, as soon as Perry revealed the truth about his origins to young Royal, Outer Range created a paradox in which Royal Abbott already knew the name of his children with Cecile before they were even a couple. This would indicate that time is a closed loop, and the inception of the Abbott family as viewers have known it is a paradox. Royal would only have considered naming his children Perry and Rhett because he encountered a time-traveling Perry.

To make things even more complicated, Perry drastically changes the past in the finale.

However, Outer Range season 2 has also teased the existence of alternate universes, or that at the very least the timeline can be changed. In season 1, Royal revealed that he accidentally shot his father while they were hunting, which led him to run away from his family and fall down the Hole. However, in Outer Range season 2, episode 4, a young Royal in 1886 shot his father to stop him from killing Joy , who was only there because she traveled to the past. To make things even more complicated, Perry drastically changes the past in the finale.

Outer Range Season 2’s Ending Means Its Timeline Can Be Rewritten

Either that or outer range will follow different universes.

Either Perry rewrote the timeline at the end of Outer Range season 2, or the Prime Video time travel show will now follow more than just one reality. Either way, Perry drastically changed the past by preventing his younger self from killing Trevor during the bar fight. Instead, “season 1 Perry” died in the fight, and Trevor ran away. “Season 2 Perry” had to throw his younger self’s body down the Hole and take his place, which should completely change the events of the show. With Trevor alive, Outer Range ’s seasons 1 and 2 don’t happen.

Outer Range season 2 reveals what happened to Rebecca, and the truth about Perry’s wife proves most fan theories about her disappearance wrong.

If what Perry did in the past has a butterfly effect in the show’s only timeline, this means Outer Range's characters could now have memories of a past that viewers never watched on the show. This would explain why Josh Brolin’s character passed out in the Outer Range season 2 finale – Royal’s mind could be trying to make sense of the changes made to the timeline. This would also explain why Joy’s daughter found a black-and-white picture of her mother taken in 1886, although it’s unclear whether Joy was always in the picture or not.

How Does Time Travel Actually Work In The Outer Range Universe?

Can the hole be explained by science.

The rules of Outer Range ’s time travel have not been fully revealed yet, let alone how or why the Hole does what it does. Dr. Nia Bintu referred to the Hole as time itself, as if the actual flow of time could be accessed through Royal’s property. It’s also unclear what the black mineral, which presumably comes from the Hole, does in Outer Range . Another important question is whether the Hole’s properties and powers can be explained by science , or if it is all part of a supernatural storyline.

Royal's backstory changing suggests everything could be different in Outer Range season 3 after what Perry did.

Even if Outer Range ’s time travel has supernatural origins, it is important that the show properly establishes the rules of how it works. Naturally, there has to be a level of mystery, meaning not everything should be revealed all at once. If Outer Range season 3 happens, it will likely at least settle whether changes made to the past create a new universe, or if they rewrite the same timeline. In both cases, Outer Range is shaping up to be a very different show now that time has been messed with so much.

Stream on Prime Video

Outer Range

Created for Amazon Prime Video, Outer Range is a Sci-Fi and Western television series that began in 2022. The series was created by Brian Watkins and stars both Imogen Poots and Josh Brolin. The premise sees a Wyoming rancher trying to care for his farm and keep his land safe when a strange void shows up in one of his pastures.

Cruise ship operations to resume from Baltimore later this month, port confirms

Cruises from Baltimore will resume later this month.

Royal Caribbean International’s Vision of the Seas will leave from the city on May 25. That will mark the first cruise ship to do so since the March collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge , the Port of Baltimore said in a Facebook post .

Vision of the Seas will sail a round-trip cruise to Bermuda, according to CruiseMapper . Royal Caribbean previously moved the ship’s operations to Norfolk, Virginia in the wake of the bridge collapse.

“Royal Caribbean International looks forward to returning to the Port of Baltimore once again,” a spokesperson told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. “Vision of the Seas will set sail on a 5-night itinerary as planned on Saturday, May 25 after completing its previously scheduled drydock in the Bahamas.”

Carnival Cruise Line also expects to return this month.

Carnival will embark guests on Carnival Pride’s May 19 cruise in Norfolk, but anticipates it will end the trip in Baltimore.

“We are encouraging our guests to register for our complimentary bus service between Baltimore and Norfolk for the sailing's embarkation,” spokesperson Matt Lupoli said in an emailed statement. “We remain in close contact with local, state and federal officials regarding the return of our operations at the Port of Baltimore.”
