The year’s biggest supermoon, the Hunter’s Moon, will rise in the sky next week. Astronomers have been thrilled to see three back-to-back supermoons this year, but October’s supermoon is going to be extra special.

It will be the only moon to come this close to Earth in 2024, making it appear extremely large. The supermoon will occur on October 17, reaching its fullest point merely hours after coming to its closest point. It will be 220,055 miles from Earth on this day.

The sky this month is filled with cosmic wonders. You can see two comets this month, with one of them already taking people’s breath away. The second comet will visit towards the end of October.

(NEXSTAR) — The Internet Archive, a popular digital library known for its Wayback Machine, was hacked and suffered a data breach that reportedly exposed 31 million user accounts.

Founder Brewster Kahle confirmed in a post on the social media platform X that a cyberattack on Tuesday knocked the website offline. He also said that usernames, emails, and encrypted passwords had been compromised.

“Services are currently stopped to upgrade internal systems,” Kahle wrote in a Thursday update. “We are working to restore services as quickly and safely as possible. Sorry for this disruption.”

Imagine being able to see electrons — the tiny particles that buzz around atoms — in action, darting and swirling in their frenetic dance. This isn’t science fiction anymore.

Scientists have recently developed a state-of-the-art microscope that allows us to observe these elusive particles moving at unimaginable speeds, revealing the intricate behaviors and interactions that occur at the atomic level.

This innovative technology opens up new frontiers for research in physics and materials science, providing unprecedented insights into the fundamental building blocks of matter.

Companies that embrace a data-driven culture will be better able to thrive in not just life sciences, but every industry. By leveraging AI and strengthening the collaboration between humans and machines, organizations can achieve better quality, ensure data-driven decision-making and democratize data across their enterprise.

It’s incredible to think of where we’ll be in just a few short years. Those who can adapt to a data-first culture and not only implement AI technologies, but also understand its application and address the challenges, will be better positioned for success.

I’ll close with this—follow the data. Make decisions based on that data. That’s it. It’s that simple. In the search for truth, data-driven decisions are the way forward.

Improvements in public health and medicine have lengthened human survival, but science has yet to overcome ageing.

Edward Frenkel is a renowned mathematician, professor of University of California, Berkeley, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and winner of the Hermann Weyl Prize in Mathematical Physics. In this episode, Edward Frenkel discusses the recent monumental proof in the Langlands program, explaining its significance and how it advances understanding in modern mathematics.

Well it does kinda look like a stapler.

This wild-looking people mover can transport up to 20, Musk said.

They say aging is just a part of life, but have you ever wondered if it really has to be? What if getting older isn’t just something we accept but something we could actually treat?

In this riveting episode of Peak Human Labs Podcast, Dr. Sanjeev Goel, sits down with Dr. Aubrey de Grey, a trailblazing biomedical gerontologist and Chief Science Officer of the SENS Research Foundation. They dive deep into the revolutionary idea of treating aging as a medical condition. They explore how damage accumulates in our bodies over time and discuss the groundbreaking medical advancements that could extend our healthy lifespans. Dr. de Grey sheds light on the crucial need for investing in underfunded research and shares insights into the future of longevity science. Tune in and envision a future where health and longevity are not just aspirations but achievable realities!
