In Anticipation of New Horizons Entering Interstellar Space, Researchers are Developing a Solar Wind Forecasting Method - Universe Today
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are using a solar wind forecasting method combined with analytic and numerical heliosphere models to find out where the first plasma boundary of the outer heliosphere lies as NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft hurtle…

The Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977, is now so far from Earth that a radio signal travelling at the speed of light takes over 22 hours to reach it, and it is still sending data back from interstellar space on a power source the size of a car battery - Space Daily
Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is now so far from Earth that a radio signal travelling at the speed of light takes more than 22 hours to reach it. And it is still working, still sending data back from interstellar space, running on a nuclear power source that t…
A genetic analysis of nearly 700,000 people identified 74 distinct locations in the human genome tied to anxiety, 39 of which had never been linked to the condition before - Space Daily
Anxiety is still more often treated as a mood problem than a biology problem. A new study makes that harder to justify. Researchers analyzing genetic data from nearly 700,000 people have identified 74 distinct locations in the human genome linked to anxiety s…
Houston's strange clouds may have an unexpected culprit, study finds - Chron
A UC San Diego study found a Houston-area power plant is the dominant source of cloud-forming particles.
The debate over how many Earth-like planets exist has a wide range — from one, if the Rare Earth hypothesis is right, to something approaching a hundred quintillion, if Milky Way rates hold across the universe's roughly two trillion galaxies — and both answer - Space Daily
Ask how many Earth-like planets there are, and the honest answer is that serious researchers give estimates spanning more than twenty orders of magnitude. At one end, essentially one, us, if the Rare Earth hypothesis is right. At the other, something approach…
