Scientists find yeast in ancient Iceman's guts—and make bread - Phys.org
Yeast has been growing in the guts of a frozen mummy called Oetzi the Iceman for thousands of years, scientists have discovered, telling AFP they used it to make a tasty sourdough bread.
In 1995, astronomers pointed Hubble at a patch of sky so dark it looked empty and held it there for ten days. The image that came back contained roughly 3,000 galaxies — not stars, but galaxies — many holding billions of stars of their own. - Space Daily
In December 1995, Hubble did something that sounded almost like a misuse of a great telescope. It stared at a patch of sky chosen because it looked empty. The field lay near the handle of the Big Dipper, far from the bright disk of the Milky Way, away from ne…
NASA says it will isolate volunteers from the outside world for a year - The Register
There might also be a downside
Astronomers discover Earth’s new ‘next-door neighbor’ — a potentially habitable planet - New York Post
The exoplanet is approximately twice the size of Earth.
It's tempting to assume faster engines make faster spacecraft, but Parker Solar Probe's record 430,000 miles per hour came mostly from gravity: seven Venus flybys spent nearly seven years bending its orbit closer to the Sun, until the Sun's own pull accelerate - Space Daily
It is easy to imagine the fastest spacecraft as the one with the most ferocious engine. Parker Solar Probe is a useful correction to that instinct. Its record speed of about 430,000 miles per hour was not mainly a feat of continuous thrust. It was a feat of t…
In April 2025, four private astronauts on SpaceX’s Fram2 mission became the first humans ever to circle Earth in a true polar orbit, flying directly over both poles — a route no government crewed space program had taken in more than six decades of human sp - Space Daily
Human spaceflight had crossed oceans, docked with stations, circled the Moon and lived in orbit for more than a year before anyone did something deceptively simple: fly people straight over both poles of Earth. That changed with Fram2. Launched by SpaceX at t…
