Antares, a U.S. microreactor developer, has partnered with UK-based Motion Applied to supply power electronics for its reactor power-conversion system. [^1]

NASA recommends observing Venus after sunset in September 2026. [^2]

Antares can source certain electrical systems from established supply chains because its reactor operates at a much smaller scale, which could reduce development costs and shorten the path toward manufacturing. [^3]

Antares plans to begin generating electricity in 2027, with reactor installations targeted for 2028. [^4]

Dr. Rian Bahran, Antares' chief nuclear officer, stated that automotive suppliers have put decades and enormous capital into power electronics R&D at a scale nuclear has never had the market to support. [^5]

On September 26, 2026, the Harvest Moon will appear near Saturn and Neptune. [^6]

Venus will reach its maximum brightness on September 18, 2026, during its evening appearance. [^7]

Between September 14 and 20, the Moon can serve as a guide to locate Antares and the Teapot constellation in the night sky. [^8]

On September 22, the September equinox marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. [^9]

NASA advises observers to look for a clear view toward the west to locate Venus after sunset. [^10]
