NASA Releases Blueprint for Future Crewed Mars Mission
NASA Releases , Blueprint for Future , Crewed Mars Mission.
NASA's upcoming ArtemisMoon program
can be seen as a practice run for
an eventual crewed mission to Mars.
Gizmodo reports that the strategy for achieving
this daunting task was detailed in a revised list
of planning objectives for Artemis and beyond.
Gizmodo reports that the strategy for achieving
this daunting task was detailed in a revised list
of planning objectives for Artemis and beyond.
On September 20, NASA released
a blueprint for sending humans
to Mars in the not-too-distant future.
According to NASA's "Moon to Mars" strategy,
the space agency will use technology and skills acquired
in Moon missions to launch a crewed Mars mission.
.
That historic mission to the Red Planet
is tentatively scheduled to launch
in the late 2030s or early 2040s.
The recently-released list of objectives spans, "multidisciplinary science, transportation
and habitation, lunar and Martian infrastructure,
operations, and a new domain: recurring tenets.".
Gizmodo reports that the document
breaks objectives down into five categories: , recurring tenets, science, infrastructure,
transportation and habitation and operations.
We’re helping to steward humanity’s
global movement to deep space, Jim Free, NASA’s associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, via Gizmodo.
The objectives will help ensure a long-term
strategy for solar system exploration can
retain constancy of purpose and weather
political and funding changes, Jim Free, NASA’s associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, via Gizmodo.
According to a NASA press release, the objectives
reflect a "matured strategy" for developing a plan for , "sustained human presence and
exploration throughout the solar system."
Mars, often dubbed the "red planet," has once again intrigued scientists with a new discovery. NASA's Perseverance rover, tirelessly exploring Mars' Jezero Crater since early 2021, has stumbled upon a peculiar sight: thousands of white rocks scattered across the crater's surface. Recent images transmitted by the rover reveal over 4,000 light-toned pebble-sized rocks strewn throughout the crater floor. "These rocks are highly unusual, and we're actively working to unravel their origins," remarked Candice Bedford, a planetary scientist at Purdue University and member of the Mars 2020 science team, speaking at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) last month. Concurrently, NASA is wrapping up an architectural review of its Mars Sample Return (MSR) program, which aims to retrieve Martian rocks for detailed analysis back on Earth.

Astronomers Say , Neutron Jet Emissions , Travel at Relativistic Speeds.
Gizmodo reports that new research suggests that
the dense remains of massive stars propel jets of gas and
dust at speeds of hundreds of millions of miles per hour.
Neutron stars are the stellar remains of
some of the densest objects in the universe. .
According to new research, neutron star jets
can travel up to 70,836 miles per hour,
just over one-third the speed of light. .
Relativistic effects like time dilation and length
contraction are believed to occur at speeds
exceeding just one-tenth the speed of light. .
James Miller Jones, , an astrophysicist at Curtin University in
Australia and co-author of the research, .
notes that neutron stars are, "so dense that they can pull material off
the surface of a nearby companion star.".
That gas spirals down onto the surface
of that neutron star where it gets very,
very hot and dense. Once enough of it
builds up nuclear fusion reactions
start to happen on the surface, James Miller Jones, astrophysicist at Curtin University
in Australia and co-author, via 'Gizmodo'.
Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the
International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, researchers found that thermonuclear explosions on
distant stars kickstart these high-speed jet emissions. .
When these explosions occurred, they generated
high-speed jets and bright X-rays which made
it possible for researchers to measure speeds. .
The findings suggest that the staggering
speed of these emissions is close to escape
speed, or the needed velocity for material to
escape the neutron star's gravitational speed. .
Gizmodo reports that the team's results will inform
future models of jet formation and could help reveal
some of the most extreme physics in the universe.

AT&T Confirms Data Breach , Affected 73 Million Customers.
73 million current and former
AT&T customers have had their sensitive
data compromised in a hack that some outlets
say dates back to 2021, Gizmodo reports.
The data, which includes social security numbers, email addresses, birthdates, phone numbers and AT&T account information, .
was located two weeks ago in a data
set released on the dark web.
It's not clear if it was AT&T's systems that were breached or if the information was stolen from one of the company's vendors.
Currently, AT&T does not have evidence
of unauthorized access to its systems
resulting in exfiltration of the data set, AT&T, via statement.
The company is communicating
proactively with those impacted and
will be offering credit monitoring at
our expense where applicable, AT&T, via statement.
As a precaution, AT&T has reset the
passcodes of its current customers. .
The company will be reaching out to customers whose information has been compromised. .
AT&T advises those who are worried about their accounts to monitor activity and credit reports.

The Reason Why, Insects Are Attracted , to Artificial Light.
Gizmodo reports that
researchers believe they finally know
why insects seem to be drawn to lights.
New data suggests that bugs
are not attracted to the light,
as is commonly believed.
Rather, researchers now believe that
based on insects' use of light sources to
orient flight, artificial lights disorient bugs.
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'Nature Communications.'.
This has been a prehistorical
question. In the earliest writings,
people were noticing this around fire. , Jamie Theobald, Biologist at Florida International
University and co-author of the study, via Gizmodo.
It turns out all our
speculations about why it
happens have been wrong, Jamie Theobald, Biologist at Florida International
University and co-author of the study, via Gizmodo.
Researchers note that insects'
"seemingly erratic" flying patterns
are really their failed attempts
to understand the artificial light. .
Rather than steering toward the light, bugs were
seen turning their dorsum, or their backs,
toward the light, attempting to steer by it.
Under natural sky light, tilting
the dorsum towards the brightest
visual hemisphere helps maintain
proper flight attitude and control, Study authors, via Gizmodo.
Near artificial sources,
however, this highly conserved
dorsal-light-response can produce
continuous steering around
the light and trap an insect, Study authors, via Gizmodo

Apple Says Stop Putting , Wet iPhones in Rice.
For years, smartphone users have relied on the
rice soaking hack to save their drenched devices.
The theory is that the dry rice
draws moisture from the phone.
But Apple is now officially advising people against this tactic, Gizmodo reports. .
The tech company says that doing so can
"allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.".
Apple also advised against other
hacks such as external heat sources or
drying the connector with a cotton swab.
Apple also advised against other
hacks such as external heat sources or
drying the connector with a cotton swab.
Instead, the company recommends leaving your device unplugged and gently tapping it with your hand, connector side down.
Leave your phone in a dry place with airflow and try charging again after 30 minutes.
If you see an alert, there is still liquid in your phone and you should repeat the process.
If your phone is dry but still won't charge,
unplug the charger from the adapter and your
wall, reconnect them and try again, Apple says.
