New images captured by NASA's Lucy spacecraft confirmed that the small main belt asteroid Dinkinesh is a binary, two asteroids that orbit a common center of mass. The SwRI-led mission will now fly by 11 asteroids in its 12-year mission to Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. Dinkinesh was meant to be the first asteroid that Lucy flew by but ended up being the first two. "Dinkinesh really did live u

The human liver is a superhero among organs. It works to rid the body of toxins and is capable of regeneration-a unique trait that has fascinated scientists for eons, as evidenced by Prometheus in Greek mythology, who continuously has his liver ripped out by an eagle only for it to regrow the next day as a form of eternal punishment. However, due to the aging process and the hazardous nature of

The space shuttle Endeavour's twin giant rockets will be hoisted by crane next week and affixed into place atop the craft's aft skirts in a first step of assembling a full-stack configuration of the shuttle at the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center.

The two solid rocket motors—each weighing 104,000 pounds and the size of a Boeing 757 fuselage—were transported by truck in early October from Mojave Air and Space Port to the science center in South Los Angeles.

"It's actually pretty exciting. This is the first big tall pieces of the stack going into the building," California Science Center President Jeffrey Rudolph said. Each measures 116 feet and makes up most of the length of the 149-foot solid rocket boosters. At liftoff, the white solid rocket boosters were set underneath Endeavour's wings and produced more than 80% of the lift during takeoff.

On Monday, the motors will be moved from their current location—next to the museum's dining terraces—a few hundred feet closer to the construction site.

The first significant action begins Tuesday, when the science center will lift the first solid rocket into place.

In a hushed room of a museum in Washington, cameras and cell phones focus on a tiny piece of rock, no larger than a piece of gravel. The fragment might seem insignificant, but it is a sample taken from the asteroid Bennu, which scientists are studying in the hope of discovering if asteroids actually brought the building blocks of life - carbon and water - to Earth.
