James Webb Space Telescope Detects Rare Kilonova Explosion

Broke On: Wednesday, 15 March 2023 NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected a rare kilonova explosion, a cosmic event that is a million times brighter than the entire Milky Way galaxy. The kilonova explosion provides insights into the process of nucleosynthesis, the creation of heavy elements in the universe.

SpaceX CRS-29 Mission to Carry NASA's Laser Communications Relay Demonstration

Broke On: Thursday, 26 October 2023 SpaceX's CRS-29 cargo mission to the ISS is set to carry a variety of scientific experiments, including a pioneering leap into laser data transmission. The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) is a NASA project that aims to test two-way end-to-end laser communications for the first time in history. The LCRD will be used to transmit data at a rate of 1.2 Gbps, which is significantly faster than the current radio frequency-based systems.

Seismic Data from Mars Challenges Previous Assumptions About Its Core

Broke On: Friday, 27 October 2023 Seismic data from NASA's InSight lander suggests Mars' core is larger and less dense than previously thought. The core is believed to be composed of a mixture of iron, nickel, and lighter elements such as sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen. Mars' core is not completely solid but is instead partially molten. The core is surrounded by a liquid outer core, similar to Earth's.

Unexpected Coolant Leak Ends Cosmonauts' Spacewalk at ISS

Broke On: Thursday, 26 October 2023 Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov were on a spacewalk to investigate a leak in the ISS's Zvezda module. The spacewalk was ended prematurely due to the discovery of a toxic coolant leak. The coolant, ethylene glycol, was found in a bubble approximately 25 centimeters in diameter on the exterior of the ISS.

Resurgence of Dengue and Yellow Fever: What You Need to Know

Broke On: Tuesday, 24 October 2023 Dengue fever and Yellow fever, both mosquito-borne diseases, are reportedly making a resurgence. Dengue fever is a viral illness with no specific treatment, but early detection and proper medical care can lower fatality rates. Yellow fever, a disease from the 1800s, is also making a comeback with symptoms including fever, chills, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, yellow skin. Vaccination is the most important preventive measure against Yellow fever. Infectious disease experts warn that the U.S. should brace for a resurgence of Yellow fever.

Apollo Lunar Rocks Reveal Moon's Age to be Older Than Previously Thought

Broke On: Saturday, 15 January 2022 Lunar rocks collected during the Apollo 14 mission have been used to determine the moon's age. The moon is approximately 4.51 billion years old, 40 to 140 million years older than previously estimated. The age determination was made possible by dating tiny zircon crystals in the lunar rocks using the uranium-lead dating technique.
