NASA’s NEOWISE telescope, a valuable tool in studying near-Earth objects, will soon face its demise due to increased solar activity. The telescope, which has been scanning the sky for over a decade, is expected to become unusable by early 2025. The reason behind NEOWISE’s impending fate lies in its orbit. As the Earth’s atmosphere heats up due to the Sun’s radiation, it expands, causing a gradual lowering of NEOWISE’s orbit over time. Additionally, as the Sun enters its solar maximum period, the atmospheric gases will slow down the telescope and pull it closer to Earth. Eventually, NEOWISE will be unable…

New Study Shows Low-Sodium Diet Can Significantly Lower Blood Pressure A recent study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has revealed that reducing sodium intake can have a significant impact on lowering blood pressure. The findings suggest that individuals with or without hypertension, as well as those taking blood pressure medications, can benefit from a low-sodium diet. High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects approximately half of all Americans. Blood pressure is considered high when systolic readings consistently measure over 130 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or diastolic readings are 80 mm Hg or higher. While the body requires…

The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum has received a remarkable donation – the aerial prototype for NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter, a crucial piece of equipment in the recent Mars mission. This prototype was the first to demonstrate that an aircraft could successfully fly in the atmosphere of another planet, marking a groundbreaking achievement for space exploration. During tests at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the prototype’s first free flight in a simulated Mars environment proved to be a pivotal moment for NASA. This successful flight gave the agency the confidence to send Ingenuity to Mars, where it has since completed an…
