This article originally appeared on The Conversation. When Apollo 13 looped around the Moon in April 1970, more than 40 million people around the world watched the United States recover from a potential catastrophe. An oxygen tank explosion turned a planned landing into an urgent exercise in problem-solving, and the three astronauts on board used the
Scientists have made some intriguing parasite discoveries in an accidental back-of-the-pantry natural history museum. Canned salmon, well past its prime, has preserved decades of Alaskan marine ecology in brine and tin. Parasites can reveal a lot about an ecosystem, since they tend to get up in the business of multiple species. But unless they cause
NASA’s Artemis program is working to achieve something the U.S. hasn’t done in more than 50 years: send humans back to the moon (and establish facilities needed for sustainable living on the lunar surface, which has never been done). To get there, though, many steps have to be taken, from the big ones, like making

In a statement provided to Ars by a NASA spokesperson,
For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the tiny world. Microscopes use light to magnify cells, microbes, and nanomaterials—but light also behaves like a wave, and waves cannot be squeezed into spots smaller than their wavelength. This diffraction limit has kept individual atoms largely out of reach for optical

The universe is unfathomably vast, and for the astronomers trying to understand it, that means having to gather a commensurately mind-boggling amount of data. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was something that could help speed through looking for patterns in all the trillions of galaxies out there, and their quadrillions of stars? The term
What actually happens to a spacecraft during its fiery last moments? That’s the key question for the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Destructive Reentry Assessment Container Object (Draco) mission. ESA has greenlit the program that will create a highly complex reentry of a spacecraft specifically built to dive into Earth’s atmosphere while loaded with a variety
