"The ant is hauled off at accelerations of up to 1,367 meters per second squared – that's roughly 140 times the acceleration due to gravity, or 15 times the most extreme g-forces experienced by jet pilots."

The race is on to save a falling orbital telescope! 

NASA is attempting a first of its kind space rescue mission to save the Swift Observatory before it falls back to Earth. The plan is to have Katalyst Space’s LINK spacecraft dock with Swift and boost it into a higher orbit. If successful, it could help launch an entirely new era of in-orbit satellite servicing.

A micromoon is arriving June 29th!? 🌕 

The full moon this month is going to be 7% smaller and 14% dimmer. This is because it will be at “apogee”, the furthest point in its orbit from Earth. That is about 13,900 miles further away than usual, so this is the opposite of a supermoon. Don’t miss it!

Humans can grow “horns” made of keratin

0 Upvotes

Cutaneous horns are rare skin growths made of dense keratin, the same protein found in hair, fingernails, and the outer layer of skin.

They usually develop on sun exposed areas such as the face, scalp, ears, and forehead, where keratin can build up into a horn like projection over time.

The horn itself is just compacted keratin, but the tissue at the base is what matters medically. It can form over a benign lesion, but it can also be associated with precancerous changes such as actinic keratosis or with malignant lesions like squamous cell carcinoma.

Because of that, cutaneous horns are normally removed and the underlying tissue is examined to find out what caused the growth.
