How NASA’s Artemis III Lander Test Will Pave Way for Moon Landings [new NASA article with 2 new SpaceX renders of Artemis 3 Starship docked to Orion]

After they made the atomic bomb, scientists came up with the Doomsday Clock. The symbolic clock, launched by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, warned how close humanity might be to destroying itself in the form of “minutes to midnight”. Since 1947, its hands have been moved closer and then further away from midnight in response…

ACT leader David Seymour wants New Zealand to become a global testing ground for emerging technologies by allowing companies to temporarily bypass regulations through a permanent regulatory exemption scheme. Speaking in Christchurch on Thursday, Seymour said “Innovation Trials” — time-limited schemes where specific rules are suspended in a set region — should become a standing…

A colorful pet gecko that is unusually prone to developing cancer could become an important new tool for researchers studying how tumors form and spread. Scientists say the animal’s naturally occurring cancers may offer valuable insights into why some species are highly vulnerable to the disease while others are remarkably resistant. The research, led by…

Astronomers have, for the first time, directly mapped the magnetic field surrounding an unusual “lighthouse” pulsar, revealing an invisible cosmic highway that channels particles blasted from the rapidly spinning stellar remnant. Using NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission, researchers measured the magnetic field around the pulsar PSR J1101−6101 — nicknamed the “Lighthouse” — and…
