A series of reports in the journals Science and Nature shows lunar regolith collected by China’s Chang-e 5 sample return mission show evidence of volcanic activity 800 - 900 million years longer than previously thought.*More evidence of water on EuropaNew observations by NASA’s Hubble space telescope have found evidence of persistent water vapor on the Jovian ice moon Europa. But the findings reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters – mysteriously shows the water vapor only being detected in one hemisphere.*Another faulty Russian engine burn destabilizes the space stationRussia have destabilized the International Space Station again. The latest incident occurred during tests of the engines of the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft -- which would later be used to return a Russian film crew to Earth after shooting 40 minutes of footage for a feature film aboard the orbiting outpost.*The Science ReportThe overweight and obese more likely to have worse COVID-19 symptoms.More than half of those who get COVID-19 end up with long COVID.Study shows ancient humans enjoyed a diet which included blue cheese and beer.Skeptic's guide to 2021 Bent Spoon Award nominations.The Astronomy, Technology, and Space Science News Podcast.SpaceTime Series 24 Episode 122*Problems as Lucy launches to study Jupiter’s Trojan asteroidsLucy mission managers are still trying to determine the full extent of the problem with the spacecraft after one of the solar arrays failed to deploy properly following launch. Telemetry from the 1500 kilogram probe suggestthat only one of the two solar arrays fully unfurled and latched -- the second array partially opening but failing to lock.*New study claims Venus never had oceansVenus is often considered Earth’s sister planet – but a new study claims that unlike the Earth -- Venus never had oceans.*New crew arrives at Chinese space stationChina’s Shenzhou-13 spacecraft has successfully docked to the Tianhe core module of Beijing’s new space station.*The Science ReportOver 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is caused by humans.Scientists find a previously little understood mass extinction event rocked Africa and Arabia.Lockheed Martin famous Skunk Works shows its new X-59 Quiet Super Sonic Transport aircraft.Alex on Tech: New product launches for Apple Google and Samsung.The Astronomy, Technology, and Space Science News Podcast.SpaceTime Series 24 Episode 123*The Large Magellanic Cloud cannibalizing smaller galaxiesScientists have confirmed that the Large Magellanic Cloud has been cannibalizing smaller galaxies. Astronomers already knew that large galaxies like the Milky Way grow by merging with or cannibalizing smaller galaxies. But now a report in the journal Nature has shown that a small satellite dwarf galaxy like the Large Magellanic Cloud has in turn absorbed an even smaller galaxy in its vicinity.*NASA’s first test of optical communications technologyNASA is about to test a new optical laser communications system in space for the first time.
