Nasa's Perseverance rover finds evidence of a Martian lake in Jezero Crater, raising hopes of discovering fossils of microbial life. Images from the rover's radar suggest water beneath the surface. The discovery fuels the search for life beyond Earth and future expeditions will bring back samples for analysis.
The first tornado ever recorded in Wisconsin in the usually frigid month of February tore through mostly rural areas on a day that broke records for warmth, setting up the perfect scenario for the type of severe weather normally seen in the late spring and summer. The storms left a swath of destruction that included dead and missing cows, roofs blown off of homes, destroyed storage sheds and barns, trashed vehicles and shattered windows.
Chronic pain, lasting beyond three months, has complex psychological and social dimensions. Pain clinics in hospitals treat patients holistically. Poor sleep, stress, despondency, tiredness, and high BMI are biopsychosocial risk factors for chronic pain. Women experience chronic pain more than men due to hormonal activity and societal factors.
The data relay transponder (DRT) on Insat-3DS receives meteorological, hydrological, and oceanographic data from automatic data collection platforms. The satellite also has a satellite-aided search and rescue (SAS&R) transponder for relaying distress signals from beacon transmitters.
According to a study published in the journal Environmental International, if you're pregnant, you should think twice before running out to get a cheeseburger or grabbing for a packaged pastry. Oddly enough it's not the food that the report targets -- not the fries, burgers or even the shakes and cakes -- but what touches the food before you eat it. Research shows that phthalates, a class of chemicals associated with plastics, can shed from the wrapping, packaging and even from plastic gloves worn by food handlers into food.
Despite efforts by the Trump administration to cancel the Pace satellite project, it persevered and was successfully launched. The Pace satellite, along with the upcoming Nisar satellite, showcases NASA's commitment to advancing Earth observation capabilities for better understanding climate change and its impacts.
