A Newly Reported Muon Wobble Could Break Physics as We Know It
The results from one of the most hotly-anticipated experiments in particle physics are in, and they could be about to fulfill every researcher's wildest dreams: They maybe, perhaps, could break physics as we know it.

Monkey MindPong
Pager, a nine year old Macaque, plays Mind Pong with his Neuralink.
At first, Pager is shown controlling a pointer on the screen using a joystick while the Neuralink monitors brain activity.
In the next segment the joystick is removed and he proceeds to play a game of Mind Pong by thinking of moving the non-existent joystick.

Betelgeuse Is Destined to Explode as a Supernova…But When?
Long considered one of the brightest stars in the night sky, Betelgeuse has begun to dramatically fade then brighten again for reasons we can’t quite pin down. And it’s caused some people to wonder if it's about to explode.

NGC 1947 demonstrates this well: Even from a distance of around 45.4 million light-years away (in the southern constellation of Dorado), we can see that the galaxy is slowly on the decline.Article

Fascinating Infograph Shows What Rain Is Like Elsewhere in The Solar System
Precipitation is much more widespread throughout the Solar System than commonly assumed. Obviously it rains water on Earth. But it snows carbon dioxide on Mars, rains methane on Titan, sulfuric acid on Venus, and could potentially rain diamonds

Good News, The B117 Strain Is Not Linked to Greater Severity of COVID-19
The English variant of the novel coronavirus does not increase the severity of COVID-19 compared to other strains, according to research published Tuesday that also confirmed its increased transmissibility.
The variant, known as B117, is now the dominant viral strain across much of Europe, and previous studies had shown it was linked to a higher likelihood of death than normal variants.
But two studies published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases and The Lancet Public Health journals found no evidence that people with B117 experience worse symptoms or a greater risk of developing long COVID than those infected with different variants.

Newly Discovered Region of The Milky Way Is Filled With Stars Ready to Blow Up
Astrophysicists have found a new region of the Milky Way, and it's filled with searingly hot, bright-blue stars that are about to explode.
Nestled between the Orion Arm – where our solar system is – and the constellation Perseus, the spur is a belt between two spiral arms filled with enormous stars three times the size of the sun and colored blue by their blistering heat.

Ingenuity update
The Ingenuity team has identified a software solution for the command sequence issue identified on Sol 49 (April 9) during a planned high-speed spin-up test of the helicopter’s rotors.
The process of updating Ingenuity’s flight control software will follow established processes for validation with careful and deliberate steps to move the new software through the rover to the base station and then to the helicopter.
Intermediate milestones include:
- Diagnose the issue and develop potential solutions
- Develop/validate and upload software
- Load flight software onto flight controllers
- Boot Ingenuity on new flight software
Once these milestones are passed, NASA will prepare Ingenuity for its first flight, which will take several sols, or Mars days. Their best estimate of a targeted flight date is fluid right now, but they are working toward achieving these milestones and will set a flight date next week.

NASA's Insight Mars Lander Is 'in Crisis', And Has Entered Emergency Hibernation
Unlike other sites where NASA has sent rovers and landers – including the landing spot of the new Perseverance rover and its Mars helicopter – powerful gusts of wind have not been sweeping Elysium Planitia.
These winds, called "cleaning events," are needed to blow the red Martian dust off the solar panels of NASA's robots. Without their help, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on InSight, and it's struggling to absorb sunlight.
By pausing its scientific operations, the lander should be able to save enough power to keep its systems warm through the frigid Martian nights, when temperatures can drop to -90°C.
The agency expects to restart InSight's full operations after Mars swings back toward the sun in July.
