NASA shelving social media accounts as budget fears grow
NASA's social media accounts, including those for the Mars rovers and Voyager spacecraft, have assured followers that their missions will continue despite the changes.
Some social media followers worried that streamlining communications may make it more challenging to engage with NASA, while others saw it as a necessary step to improve content quality.
The consolidation comes amid concerns about potential personnel reductions and a proposed budget that slashes funding for science programs by nearly 25 percent.
The proposed budget would cut funding for space missions, climate monitoring satellites, and the Mars Sample Return mission, leading to criticism from scientists who warn of devastating consequences for space exploration and research.

Scientists are BAFFLED after discovering a mysterious new structure hiding inside human cells
Scientists have discovered a mysterious new structure lurking inside every human cell. These tiny structures, dubbed hemifusomes, are just 200 to 400 nanometres in diameter. To put that into perspective, that's about 500 times thinner than a human hair. Scientists believe the structures play a critical role in helping our cells recycle and discard waste materials. Co-author Dr Seham Ebrahim, of the University of Virginia, says: 'It's exciting because finding something truly new inside cells is rare - and it gives us a whole new path to explore. 'This is like discovering a new recycling centre inside the cell. 'We think the hemifusome helps manage how cells package and process material, and when this goes wrong, it may contribute to diseases that affect many systems in the body.' In the future, the finding could help scientists to develop treatments for conditions such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome - a rare genetic disorder that can cause albinism, vision problems, and lung disease. Since hemifusomes are exceptionally small, the researchers needed extremely sensitive equipment to spot them. The team used a method called cryo-electron tomography, in which samples are rapidly frozen to around -150°C (-240°F) before being sliced very thinly. The scientists then took lots of photos with a powerful microscope which uses electrons instead of visible light. This allowed them to look at extremely small structures just as they would appear in a living cell by freezing them in time, rather than damaging the samples by trying to preserve them. Using this method, a team of researchers from the University of Virginia spotted structures which looked like two thin bubbles stuck together at the edges. The researchers believe hemifusomes produce vesicles - tiny sacs that act as 'mixing bowls', as well as making structures made of lots of these vesicles. Dr Ebrahim says: 'You can think of vesicles like little delivery trucks inside the cell. 'The hemifusome is like a loading dock where they connect and transfer cargo. It's a step in the process we didn't know existed.' By placing vesicles inside themselves, hemifusoles can store and combine different chemicals and waste products. Scientists think that some diseases might be caused when this process is disrupted By building vesicles, and even putting vesicles inside each other, the hemifusomes allow our cells to package and sort proteins or recycle parts of the cell. One thing that the researchers were surprised to find is that the layer which connects the hemifusome and the vesicles is much thinner than scientists previously thought possible. This 'hemifusion diaphragm' sticks to the two structures together but doesn't let their contents mix, like two water balloons that have melted together at the edges. Previously, scientists thought these types of structures would be too unstable to do anything useful in our cells. But in the hemifusome, the researchers spotted them playing a really important role in keeping our cells healthy. That discovery could have big implications for how we understand and treat diseases which interfere with our cells' recycling functions. Dr Ebrahim says: 'We're just beginning to understand how this new organelle fits into the bigger picture of cell health and disease. 'Now that we know hemifusomes exist, we can start asking how they behave in healthy cells and what happens when things go wrong. That could lead us to new strategies for treating complex genetic diseases. Cells in numbers Scientists believe the first known cells originated on Earth 3.8 billion years ago. The diameter in centimeters of most animal cells is 0.001 to 0.003, making them invisible to the naked eye. In 1665, British scientist Robert Hooke coined the term cell to describe the porous, grid-like structure he saw when viewing a thin slice of cork under a microscope. There are 200 different types of cells are in the human body. There are 24 hours in an animal cell cycle, the time from a cell's formation to when it splits in two to make more cells. A human red blood cells lives about 120 days. Each day, approximately 50 to 70 billion cells die in the human.

Is a solar eclipse happening in August? Yes, but not next month
Reports of a solar eclipse on 2 August have been spreading across social media, supported by stories in several news outlets. But while excitement has centred on the celestial spectacle taking place next month, hopeful sky gazers will actually have to wait another two years to witness it. The total solar eclipse will see the Moon pass directly in front of the Sun in 2027, casting a shadow across large parts of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Another total solar eclipse will happen before that, on 12 August 2026, passing over Western Europe. The path of totality for the 2027 eclipse, where the Sun will be completely blocked from view, begins in the North Atlantic before arcing over the Mediterranean and finishing in the Indian Ocean. Luxor in Egypt sits in the middle of the path, which will see the longest totality of six minutes and 23 seconds. The last time a totality lasted this long on land was in 1991 – and the next time will not be until the year 2114. Nasa advises anyone hoping to see the solar eclipse to choose a viewing location based on the weather, rather than how close it is to the path of totality. 'It's much more important to watch the weather forecasts a day or two before the eclipse and choose a location with the best chance of a cloud-free sky during the eclipse,' the US space agency wrote in a blog post. 'Good weather is the key to successful eclipse viewing - better to see a shorter eclipse from clear sky that a longer eclipse under clouds.' Anyone not directly under the path of totality will still be able to see a partial eclipse on 2 August 2027, which will be visible from as far north as Iceland and as far south as Madagascar.

Shortest day in history set for TOMORROW as Earth's rotation mysteriously gets even faster
Scientists have announced that tomorrow could be the shortest day of your life, breaking a mark that was just set two weeks ago. That's because Earth's rotation has continued to pick up speed, and is expected to spin even faster than it did on July 9, when everyone on the plant experienced a day that was 1.3 milliseconds shorter than normal. New data has revealed that the Earth appeared to have spun even faster a day later on July 10, making the day 1.36 milliseconds shorter than usual. A millisecond equals one thousandth of a second, which is so impossibly difficult to measure that takes an atomic clock to track the numbers, measuring what's called 'Length of Day,' or LOD. LOD marks the time it takes Earth to rotate once, down to the millisecond. Normally, that process takes exactly 86,400 seconds, or 24 hours, to complete. However, Earth's rotation has been speeding up in recent years. While the cause is still a mystery, new research from NASA has suggested it may be connected to the moon's gravitational pull. The major uptick in speed this summer has led to the possibility that scientists will have to add a negative leap second to the calendar by 2029, meaning one second will be taken away from our clocks to keep them in sync. While the tiny change may seem insignificant, researchers have found that the shorter day can affect everything from satellite systems and GPS accuracy to how we measure time itself. Earth's rotation is affected by a number of different factors, both on the planet and out in space. Some of the potential reasons include changes in the atmosphere, the melting of glaciers worldwide shifting water volume, a change in motion inside the Earth's metal core, and a weakening magnetic field. NASA researchers have also suggested that this year's acceleration is actually a result of Earth hitting the moon's 'orbital sweet spot,' causing the planet to receive a tiny speed boost. Before this recent acceleration in Earth's spin, the planet was actually slowing down, due to the moon's gravitational pull, which has been stretching our days into the 24-hour cycle we now live by in modern times. Geoscientist Stephen Meyers, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, found that as the moon moves further away, its changing gravitational impact on Earth would slowly make days incrementally longer. However, scientists recently observed variations in the planet's rotation, causing the planet to speed up in 2020, 2022, and 2024. On July 9 and now again on July 22, the moon will be at its furthest point from Earth's equator, which alters its gravitational pull on our planet's axis. In simpler terms, the moon has been spinning the Earth like a top, holding on to the planet at the midpoint, which is usually closer to the moon than the north or south poles. On July 22, and again on August 5, the moon's gravity will exert more of a pull on the Earth's poles, essentially spinning our planet at its top, which naturally makes it rotate faster. The fastest day recorded so far was just over one year ago on July 5, 2024, when Earth spun 1.66 milliseconds faster than the standard 24 hours. Although scientists have been recording Earth's rotation since the 1970s, they only started noticing record-breaking changes on a regular basis in 2020. That year, July 19 came in 1.47 milliseconds short. On July 9, 2021, there was another 1.47 millisecond drop. In 2022, Earth recorded its shortest day on June 30, shaving off 1.59 milliseconds from the usual 24 hours. In 2023, the planet's rotation slowed again, and no new records were set. In 2024, however, the speed picked up. Several days broke the previous records, making it the year with the most consistently shorter days on record. These estimates are based on past observations and computer models, and include systematic corrections and smoothing to account for natural fluctuations. Right now, the world has kept time using Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC. Sometimes we've added a leap second to stay in sync with Earth's slow shifts. Due to these ongoing spikes in our rotation, however, the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) has already announced that no leap second will be added in 2025.
