Massive stars are often known to go out with a bang: The core collapses, and a wave of subatomic particles called neutrinos erupt outward, causing the star to explode as a supernova that can outshine an entire galaxy. But 2.5 million light-years away from Earth, in the Andromeda galaxy, a dying star named M31-2014-DS1 did […]

An ecologist, a volcanologist, and a chemist walk into a forest… it sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but this very real collaboration between scientists from NASA and the Universidad de Costa Rica (University of Costa Rica) continues decades of cross-disciplinary work that is currently providing insight into the future of the planet.
NASA and SpaceX teams completed the final major review – the Launch Readiness Review – for the agency’s Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station, with mission leaders polling “go” to proceed into the launch countdown pending weather along the ascent corridor.
