NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission, tasked with bringing back astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station, has been delayed due to weather concerns related to Tropical Storm Helene. The launch, originally scheduled for September 26, has been moved to no earlier than September 28. The mission will see NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov launch aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the ISS.
NASA’s Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station (ISS), carrying two astronauts, has been delayed once again due to the impending arrival of Tropical Storm Helene in Florida. The launch, originally scheduled for Thursday, September 26, is now slated for Saturday, September 28, allowing teams to complete a rehearsal and move the spacecraft to a safe location ahead of potential storm activity.
The FDA has approved FluMist, a nasal spray flu vaccine, for at-home use, offering a convenient and accessible option for individuals ages 18 to 49. This approval expands on the existing use of FluMist for children and adolescents ages 2 to 17, allowing their caregivers to administer the spray. The move comes after clinical trials demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of self-administering the vaccine, making flu protection more accessible for a wider population.
Forensic experts have identified a mysterious skeleton found beneath the Notre Dame Cathedral as the French Renaissance poet Joachim du Bellay. The skeleton, nicknamed ‘the horseman’ due to signs of bone tuberculosis, chronic meningitis, and a proclivity for riding, has been linked to the poet through a combination of physical evidence and literary analysis.
A new study in monkeys reveals how the anticipation of a large reward can actually hinder performance. Researchers discovered that the prospect of a big payoff can interfere with brain signals responsible for preparing us for tasks, leading to underperformance. This research sheds light on why we sometimes falter under pressure and offers potential avenues for improving performance in various contexts.
This article explores the fascinating world of language, its evolution, and the impact of emerging technologies like AI and brain-computer interfaces. We delve into the limitations of language, the challenges of communicating with future generations, and the potential for AI-mediated language to impact free speech.
Unusual warming events in Antarctica have disrupted the typical formation of the ozone hole, delaying its appearance this year. These warming events, which are rare but increasingly observed, weakened the polar vortex, a swirling wind pattern essential for ozone hole development. While ozone depletion is expected to continue, these events highlight the complex and changing nature of the atmosphere and the need for continued monitoring.
The European Union is investigating the feasibility and safety of geoengineering as a potential method to combat climate change. This controversial approach involves modifying solar radiation or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but carries significant risks and uncertainties. The EU’s research aims to understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of geoengineering, with a particular focus on regulating solar radiation modification.
Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have achieved a groundbreaking observation: quantum entanglement between two quarks. This discovery, involving a top quark and its antimatter counterpart, opens new avenues for exploring this enigmatic phenomenon and potentially revealing new physics.
