SpaceX has announced a revised schedule for the Falcon Heavy's launch of the USSF-52 mission. Initially planned for December 10, the mission is now set for Monday, December 11 at 8:14 p.m. ET. This change is due to weather conditions affecting the planned lift-off from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

What wiped out the dinosaurs? A meteorite plummeting to Earth is only part of the story, a new study suggests. Climate change triggered by massive volcanic eruptions may have ultimately set the stage for the dinosaur extinction, challenging the traditional narrative that a meteorite alone delivered the final blow to the ancient giants.
