🌌 Close-Up View of Space Debris! This image captures the upper stage of a Japanese H-2A rocket, which has been orbiting since 2009. Plans are underway to remove it soon (hopefully)! 🛰️ @science

Discover the astonishing abilities of the flying fish: • Maximum Flight Height: Up to 5 meters above the water’s surface • Top Speed: Can soar as fast as 80 km/h • Flight Distance: Capable of gliding up to 400 meters @science

🔍 Discovering History: The Olenellus Trilobite Dive into the past with this fascinating find! A small trilobite from the genus Olenellus has been unearthed in the Cambrian deposits of Nevada. Estimated to be about 520 million years old, this ancient creature offers a glimpse into the early marine ecosystems of our planet. 🌍 Stay curious and explore more wonders of @science with us! 🌟 @science

🔬 T-Lymphocytes: Our Body’s Natural Defense Against Cancer Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, also known as T-killer cells, play an essential role in our immune system by targeting and destroying our body’s own cells that have been compromised. Their targets include cells infected with intracellular parasites such as viruses and certain bacteria, as well as cancerous cells. This ability makes T-killer cells a crucial component of the body’s natural defense system against cancer. 🔬 @science

🌟 Super Flare Alert: Quadruple Solar Flares Captured on the Sun NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory witnessed a spectacular display from the Sun, capturing not one but four simultaneous solar flares. These flares erupted from three sunspots and a large magnetic filament—a plasma loop interconnecting these spots. Termed as sympathetic flares, this extraordinary quartet event on April 23rd is dubbed a “super sympathetic” occurrence. Expect magnetic storms and potential auroras, with the most likely dates for magnetic disturbance being April 25th-26th. Stay tuned for more celestial phenomena! 🔭 @science

🚀 Exciting Lunar Exploration Update 🌕 A private company, Intuitive Machines, is set to launch a new lunar module, μNova, by the end of this year. This innovative 35 kg module is equipped with dual cameras, a radiometer (LRAD), and a neutron spectrometer (PLWS), all supported by an autonomous navigation system. μNova is designed for precise landings, capable of handling slopes up to ten degrees and low-light conditions. The μNova’s mission will focus on geological surveys at the lunar south pole, specifically between Shackleton and de Gerlach craters. It aims to analyze hydrogen presence in the regolith, temperature differences in sunlit vs. shaded areas, and the thermal properties of the surface. After landing, μNova will undergo system checks and perform a series of leaps—starting with a 20-meter test jump, escalating to 100 meters, and potentially reaching up to 300 meters. The mission includes up to 5-6 jumps, exploring the rim and the permanently shadowed regions of Marston crater. Stay tuned with @science for updates on this leap towards new lunar discoveries! 🌌

Meta, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is advancing its technology to create wearable devices that can interpret brain signals for controlling digital tools. Unlike similar technologies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which require surgical implantation, Meta’s devices are non-invasive and worn on the wrist. These devices utilize electromyography (EMG) to translate neural signals into commands for other devices. This innovative approach, currently in internal testing at Meta, aims to eventually integrate with augmented reality platforms like Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses to enhance digital interactions through sophisticated, multi-modal AI technologies. This marks a significant step in bridging the gap between human cognitive functions and machine operations, potentially transforming how we interact with our digital environments. @science

🦾The Dawn of the Robot Era! We’re stepping into the world of science fiction—literally. The era of robots, particularly bipedal androids straight out of 20th-century sci-fi, has begun. These advanced machines are designed to comprehend spoken commands, engage in intelligent conversation, and execute tasks as directed. As we move into the next decade, robots are poised to become as commonplace as cars—expensive yet highly practical and increasingly integral to our daily lives. The impact of robots is expected to surpass even that of automobiles, potentially making the 21st century known in history as “the age of robots.” @science
