Scientists, undergraduates team up to protect astronauts from radiation
Madison WI (SPX) Mar 15, 2022
Elena D'Onghia has spent her career puzzling over the behavior of the Milky Way's closest neighbors, the dwarf galaxies known as the Magellanic Clouds.
Their story is an epic tale of twirling streams of gas larger than humans can really imagine. But, like most astronomical phenomena, the Magellanic Clouds are far removed from daily life on Earth. A good 160,000 light years removed, in fact

Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 15, 2022
Due to an issue with the Sol 3410 and 3411 plans, parts of the Sol 3410 plan didn't execute and the planned drive did not occur. But the Sol 3409 contact science activities completed successfully, returning nice MAHLI images of bedrock.
Because the rover did not move, the high-gain antenna view of Earth is still occluded, preventing direct communication from Earth and daily uplink. So we w
