Images that NASA’s DART spacecraft captured of an asteroid moments before it intentionally collided with the object in 2022 have now allowed researchers to gain fresh insights into the celestial bodies.
The slew of studies published this week using data gathered from the asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos are an indication, researchers say, that the DART mission accomplished far more than just proving that potentially dangerous asteroids can be redirected from a trajectory toward Earth.
The findings published Tuesday across five research papers help to characterize the origin, evolution and physical characteristics of the two asteroids, located within 7 million miles of Earth. What the researchers discovered could help scientists better understand binary asteroids, such as Didymos and Dimorphos, in which the smaller body orbits the other.
Welcome to the visual audiobook of “Mr. Spaceship” by Philip K. Dick. This classic science fiction tale, first published in 1953, explores themes of human consciousness, artificial intelligence, and the potential of human-machine integration. Follow the story of a daring experiment where a human brain is used to pilot a spaceship, leading to unexpected and profound consequences. *Story Synopsis:* In “Mr. Spaceship,” humanity is locked in a devastating war with an alien race known as the Yucconae. Traditional automated spacecraft controlled by mechanical systems have proven ineffective against the aliens’ superior living defenses. Faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge, scientists come up with a radical solution: replace the mechanical control systems of a spaceship with a human brain. Professor Thomas, an elderly academic on the brink of death, volunteers to have his consciousness integrated into the spaceship. As the ship, now controlled by Thomas’s mind, ventures into space, the crew soon discovers that the Professor has his own plans, leading to unexpected and profound consequences. *About Philip K.

TOKYO — Japan issued its first warning Thursday about the possibility of a long-feared “megaquake” after a powerful 7.1-magnitude temblor struck off its southern coast, sparking a tsunami advisory but no immediate reports of serious damage or injuries.
The earthquake occurred off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture on the main island of Kyushu at 4:42 p.m. local time (3:42 a.m. ET), at a depth of about 18 miles, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Three people were reported injured, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said, although he added that there had been no blackouts or damage to the water or communications systems reported in the region. Police in Miyazaki Prefecture said there had been 10 reports of damage. Hayashi urged residents to stay away from the coastline.
