This usually involves joining a person or group whose opinions are shared and with a complete disregard for social norms.  A

NASA’s Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer, IXPE | Exploring the X-ray Universe

Deep space X-ray study helps us learn about the most extreme objects in the universe, including black holes and remnants of exploded stars. Image X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer will study these phenomena differently.  Find out more in this episode of #EZScience , featuring NASA's associate administrator for science, Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, and the Smithsonian's Under Secretary for Science and Research, Dr. Ellen Stofan.

A joint effort with the Italian Space Agency, the IXPE Observatory is NASA's first mission to measure X-rays' polarization from the universe's most extreme and mysterious objects: Supernova remnants Supermassive black holes Dozens of other high-energy objects After 33 minutes of flight, the spacecraft separated from the r

Science Launching on SpaceX's 24th Cargo Resupply Mission to the Space Station

The 24th SpaceX cargo resupply services mission, targeted to launch in late December from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carries scientific research and technology demonstrations to the International Space Station. The experiments aboard include studies of bioprinting, crystallization of monoclonal antibodies, changes in immune function, plant gene expression changes, laundering clothes in space, processing alloys, and student citizen science projects. This is what the entire Universe looks like in a photograph. Do not you think its impressive? This is an illustrated logarithmic scale conception of the observable Universe with the Solar System at the center. https://t.co/eFtQhqTCqb — Danielle Vol (@CuriosityGuide) November 28, 2021 Experiments Riding 24th SpaceX Cargo Mission to Space Station Study Bioprinting, Crystallization, Laundry The 24th SpaceX cargo resupply services mission, targeted to launch in late December from NASA’s

The World's Most Advanced Humanoid Robot Is Officially Unveiled in a UK Lab

British scientists have unveiled the most advanced humanoid robot in the world. Known as Ameca, the machine's facial movements are terrifyingly realistic.  Engineered Arts developed it and it was displayed on YouTube . It is still being developed and so the company declined to say how much it cost. Video: Ameca Humanoid Robot AI Platform I find this to be the most human-like robot expression I've ever seen. I'm also quite amazed by the hands, too. I find it funny to think that people will look at this in a few years
