    Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Isn't Even At Its Destination Yet And It's Already Doubled Its Lifespan - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Slowly making its way from Earth to its final destination 1.5 million miles away, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has decided that it wants to live! It has enjoyed its brief existence and wants more of that. Only just launched on August 30, NASA is now reporting that Roman has already doubled its expected lifespan. The space telescope, a triumph of engineering intended to discover billions (yes, billions) of new galaxies, is now expected to last for about 22 years instead of the origina

    Scientists Discover T. Rex Blood Was As Hot As Human Blood, Suggesting They Were Fast-Running Predators - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Using a novel technique, a team of scientists at UCLA have managed to take the body temperature of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Despite being extinct for over 65 million years, the T. rex could be studied because the team discovered a power beyond time, beyond death: dentistry. Examining the isotopes in the molecules of the enamel, the researchers have now announced that the world's most famous dinosaur had an internal temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a few degrees. That's roughly the

    China Plans To Return Samples From Mars In 2031 After The U.S. Cancels Its Own Plans - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In an interview with state media, Chinese scientist Hou Zengqian has confirmed that the Tianwen-3 mission is on pace to launch to Mars in 2028 and then return a rock and soil sample to Earth in 2031. There are a number of technical challenges to overcome along the way, but as the mission's chief scientist, Hou seems bullish. That stands in stark contrast to America's own Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, which is the one project that Congress didn't save from President Donald Trump's proposed cu

    Space Entrepreneur Wants To Prove There Are Aliens By Sending A Probe On An 80,000-Year Voyage To Alpha Centauri Because AI Said That Would Work - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Let's pretend that you want to figure out why alien civilizations have not yet made contact with our little island Earth, a concept called the Fermi paradox. One possibility is that they're out there, but they won't or can't send probes past their own solar system. So to disprove that, you think it's high time that our civilization send a probe to our closest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. To do that in a fuel-efficient way, you ask AI what the best plan would be. It spits out a pretty wild b

    TSA May Let You Welcome Your Loved Ones Home Right At The Airport Gate Again - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Gather ye round, you youths, and listen to tales of olden times. Once, long ago, you could go right up to the airport gate, even without a boarding pass! And you could welcome a loved one returning home, or wish one a fond farewell on their voyage above land, ocean, and cloud.
