It's alive. Japan's SLIM lunar probe regains power after nine days. Japan's SLIM lunar probe has regained power more than a week after running out of electricity.Cheers. |

How will it go this time? The sun’s poles are about to flip. It’s awesome — and slightly terrifying. The sun is getting ready to flip. |

Boffins demo self-eating rocket engine in Scotland Roll up, roll up. See Ouroboros-3 eating its own fuselage The concept of a self-eating rocket is rearing its head once again as engineers showcase their work at the AIAA SciTech Forum. |

Houston, we have touchdown. Incredible drama as Odysseus lunar lander arrives on the moon. For the first time since the Apollo era, an American spaceship has landed on the Moon: an uncrewed commercial robot, funded by NASA to pave the way for US astronauts to return to Earth’s cosmic neighbor later this decade.Cheers. |

The Odysseus Lunar Lander reportedly tipped over on its side, upon landing, like the Japanese lander before it. This apparently explains the difficulty in establishing radio contact with it, and the compromised status of communications with it, since then. I have a suggestion: make landers wider than they are tall, thus much more stable. |

An awkward family reunion: Sea monsters are our cousins
“People thought that because sea lampreys lack a jaw, their hindbrain was not formed like other vertebrates,” said Krumlauf. “We have shown that this basic part of the brain is built in exactly the same way as mice and even humans.” |

13-year-old has eureka moment with science project that suggests Archimedes’ invention was plausible Brenden Sener, 13, of London, Ontario, has won two gold medals and a London Public Library award for his minuscule version of the contraption — a supposed war weapon made up of a large array of mirrors designed to focus and aim sunlight on a target, such as a ship, and cause combustion — according to a paper published in the January issue of the Canadian Science Fair Journal. |

Well that didn't work. Space One’s private rocket carrying satellite explodes seconds after launch. A rocket has exploded seconds after its $7 million launch in a spectacular failure for the start-up company who made it and planned to put a satellite into orbit. |

Is there anyone from the U.S. on this forum who is planning to visit a select location in: KY, ME, NH, VT, NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, MO, AR, OK, TX around lunchtime on April 8th? I can only recommend to do that. A once in a lifetime opportunity... |

Is there anyone from the U.S. on this forum who is planning to visit a select location in: I live in the Southern portion of Fort Worth TX meto area, right in the path of total darkness and will watch from the comfort of my back yard. There are all kinds of "watch parties" through out the metro area. The local high school has one in their parking lot & football stadium for the students & staff. |

Blood test detects sleep deprivation with 99.2% accuracy Using a machine learning algorithm, the researcher identified a suite of metabolites – a substance created when the body breaks down food, drugs, chemicals or its own tissues – that predicted sleep deprivation across 40 hours of wakefulness. When they tested the biomarker, they found that it detected people who’d been awake for 24 hours with a 99.2% probability of being correct when compared to their own well-rested sample. When the well-rested sample wasn’t used for comparison, the test’s probability fell to 89.1%, which is still high. |

Bumblebees don't care about pesticide cocktails: Research highlights their resilience to chemical stressors Bumblebees appear to be quite resistant to common pesticides. This is shown by a new study, the results of which have now been published by scientists from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in the journal Environment International. |

Will it finally work? Or will it be yet another flop for the trouble prone company? And lives are on the line this time. After years of delay, Boeing to try again with Starliner space capsule. Before a door-size panel blew out of a Boeing 737 Max, leaving a gaping hole in the side of an Alaska Airlines aircraft shortly after takeoff; before whistleblowers came forward to say they were threatened for bringing up safety issues at the company; and before the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into the blowout incident, Boeing was struggling with another set of issues, on another high-profile vehicle. |

Not yet... Valve vexation: Boeing's Starliner grounded again wrote: Boeing's long-delayed Starliner crewed launch, which was scheduled for today, has been postponed yet again, this time due to a valve problem on the Centaur upper stage. Managers pushed back the next attempt to no earlier than May 10. Boeing = bad valves?... Here's hoping that on this occasion, the Engineers are not to be brow-beaten by the Media or by any overly stressed Managers... Fly safe!

Valve vexation: Boeing's Starliner grounded again... With all the problems Boeing has making aeroplanes fly safely, with their luck the spacecraft probably never gets off the ground. |
