Made of green cheese?
SCIENCE fiction novel When the Moon Hits Your Eye by American author John Scalzi has hit the shelves.
The book follows diverse human reactions to a possibly apocalyptic event in which the moon transforms into cheese, with each day presented from the viewpoint of a different character.
'Obviously it's a ridiculous concept, and obviously it's something that can be played farcically. But for me, it was much more interesting to look at the whole perspective of how people would deal with it,' John said in an interview.
'Some people would treat it farcically, but for some people, it would just completely upend their entire world in a very serious way,' he added.
The author is best known for his ongoing Old Man's War series. The namesake book, released in 2005, was nominated for the Hugo Award in 2006. Subsequently five more titles were published as part of the series and a new one is expected in September this year.
John also served as a creative consultant for the military science fiction TV series Stargate Universe.

Scientists Reveal Your Morning Coffee Flips An Ancient Longevity Switch
Caffeine appears to do more than perk you up—it activates AMPK, a key cellular fuel sensor that helps cells cope with stress and energy shortages. This could explain why coffee is linked to better health and longer life. A new study from the Cellular Ageing and Senescence laboratory at Queen Mary University of London's Cenfre for Molecular Cell Biology, reveals how caffeine — the world's most popular neuroactive compound — might do more than just wake you up. The study in the journal Microbial Cell shows how caffeine could play a role in slowing down the ageing process at a cellular level. Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But how it works inside our cells, and what exactly are its connections with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks has remained a mystery — until now. In new research published by scientists studying fission yeast — a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells — researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by tapping into an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called TOR (Target of Rapamycin). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: caffeine doesn't act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. 'When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,' explains Dr Charalampos (Babis) Rallis, Reader in Genetics, Genomics and Fundamental Cell Biology at Queen Mary University of London, the study's senior author. 'And our results show that caffeine helps flip that switch.' Interestingly, AMPK is also the target of metformin, a common diabetes drug that's being studied for its potential to extend human lifespan together with rapamycin. Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine's effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to ageing and disease. 'These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial for health and longevity,' said Dr John-Patrick Alao the postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. 'And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might trigger these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.' So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.

Michael Jackson ‘died desperate for sleep as he worked in gruelling rehearsals'
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Michael Jackson's former lawyer has said the star died desperate for sleep as he rehearsed for concerts he never got to perform. The singer was in the middle of preparing for a planned concert residency at London's O2 Arena – set to run from July 2009 to March 2010 – when he died of a heart attack aged 50 caused by an overdose of sedatives and propofol on 25 June 2009. In his new book Crazy Lucky: Remarkable Stories from Inside the World of Celebrity Icons, Michael's friend and former lawyer John Mason reveals Michael was in dire financial straits and under immense pressure when he complained he was knackered. The singer is said have told the lawyer about his upcoming tour he was working on at the time of his death: ' I can't function if I don't sleep. They'll have to cancel it. And I don't want them to cancel it.' John added: 'In 2009, I was living in Reno when I got a call from someone who told me that Michael was in 'really bad shape.' 'He was trying to tour again, but he had collapsed onstage during rehearsals. Yet, he was back at it the next day. Michael was Michael.' According to John, Michael was on the verge of losing his Neverland Ranch when AEG Live's tour promoter brought in Dr Conrad Murray, at Jackson's request, to manage his severe insomnia with nightly propofol infusions. As rehearsals wore on, Michael reportedly became fixated on the residency.

Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary in Over Four Decades Launch to ISS
Four private astronauts have successfully reached orbit aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. The mission, known as Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4), launched in the early hours of Wednesday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This all-private astronaut mission is the fourth of its kind to the International Space Station (ISS), showcasing how space travel is becoming more global and commercially driven. On board the mission are: Peggy Whitson, a veteran NASA astronaut and now Axiom Space's director of human spaceflight, serving as mission commander. Shubhanshu Shukla, representing India's space agency ISRO, flying as pilot. Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, a project astronaut from the European Space Agency (ESA) representing Poland. Tibor Kapu, part of Hungary's HUNOR astronaut program. This launch marks the first time in over four decades that astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary have traveled to space. NASA's Acting Administrator Janet Petro congratulated Axiom Space and SpaceX, calling the mission "a powerful example of American leadership bringing nations together in pursuit of science, discovery, and opportunity." She also noted that the launch follows through on a commitment made between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send an Indian astronaut to the ISS. NASA and ISRO are jointly conducting five science investigations and two in-orbit educational and technology experiments as part of this mission. The collaboration highlights the growing international cooperation in space exploration. The Dragon spacecraft is expected to dock with the ISS at around 7 a.m. on Thursday, June 26. Live coverage begins at 5 a.m. on NASA+. Once aboard, the visiting crew will be welcomed by Expedition 73 members, including astronauts from the U.S., Japan, and Russia. During their two-week stay, the Ax-4 crew will conduct scientific research in microgravity, engage in educational outreach, and support commercial experiments. This mission reflects NASA's broader vision of building a strong low-Earth orbit economy, where the agency works alongside private industry. By shifting some space operations to commercial partners, NASA is able to focus more on deep space goals, including the Artemis missions to the Moon and eventually to Mars.
