LLNL-led paper reveals effects of spacecraft geometry in impact simulations for NASA’s DART mission

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will crash into asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, executing the first asteroid deflection test that has been years in the planning. Dimorphos, 150 meters wide, is the “moon” of a binary asteroid system, orbiting the larger companion asteroid, Didymos (800 meters). The thrust of the ~600 kg spacecraft, …

Healthcare systems appear ill-equipped to handle high co-circulation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 next year

In a recent study published on the preprint server medRxiv*, researchers conducted a prospective community-based cohort study in Managua, Nicaragua, before the start of the winter season when cases of influenza A (H3N2) they increase in the northern hemisphere. Study: High co-circulation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Image credit: Guschenkova/Shutterstock background Close monitoring of influenza and …

The orbit of a Sun-like star reveals the closest black hole ever found

In 1916, Karl Schwarzchild theorized the existence of black holes as a solution to Einstein’s field equations for his General Theory of Relativity. In the mid-20th century, astronomers first began to detect black holes using indirect methods, which involved observing their effects on surrounding objects and space. Since the 1980s, scientists have studied supermassive black …
