ISS Infested With Space Bugs!
The International Space Station is infested with mysterious space bugs that may be leaving astronauts at risk of “serious harm,” according to a new study.
Scientists discovered a thriving ecosystem of “infectious organisms” aboard the station which are similar to bugs found in hospitals on Earth.
A NASA team found five different varieties of Enterobacter, with researchers calculating that there is a “79 percent probability that they may potentially cause disease.”
Cochlear implants allow deaf people to hear by electrically stimulating their auditory nerves, and have been doing so for years. While that’s all very well and good, what about people who have lost their sense of smell? Well, new research suggests that we may be getting closer to an electrical implant for them, too.
The flow of raw images sent from Mars, straight to the Web, has begun!
Insight begins sharing raw images on mission website.
There was jubilation when InSight landed, but I’m just as happy to be writing about a distinct InSight event: The flow of raw images sent from Mars, straight to the Web, has begun. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has begun sharing images from InSight’s two cameras to the mission website. You can check this website any time, any day, to see if there are new images from Mars, and sometimes, you’ll be able to see them even before mission team members do. Here, for example, is the first image returned from InSight’s Instrument Deployment Camera, sent straight to the Web.
