Two European satellites mimic total solar eclipse as scientists aim to study corona

PARIS — A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipse by flying in precise formation, providing hours of on-demand totality for scientists.The European Space Agency released the eclipse pictures at the Paris Air Show on Monday.Launched late last year, the orbiting duo have churned out simulated solar eclipses since March while zooming tens of thousands of kilometers above Earth.Flying 150 meters apart, one satellite blocks the sun like the moon does during a natural total solar eclipse as the other aims its telescope at the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere that forms a crown or halo of light.It's an intricate, prolonged dance requiring extreme precision by the cube-shaped spacecraft, less than 1.5 meters in size.Their flying accuracy needs to be...

Deadly superbugs thrive as access to antibiotics falters in India

DELHI — It's a grim paradox, doctors say.On the one hand, antibiotics are being overused until they no longer work, driving resistance and fuelling the rise of deadly superbugs. On the other hand, people are dying because they can't access these life-saving drugs.A new study by the non-profit Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) looked at access to antibiotics for nearly 1.5 million cases of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative (CRGN) infections across eight major low- and middle-income countries, including India, Brazil and South Africa. CRGN bacteria are superbugs resistant to last-line antibiotics — yet only 6.9% of patients received appropriate treatment in the countries studied.India bore the lion's share of CRGN infections and treatment...

302-pound sea turtle injured by boat receives CT scan on horse machine

JUNO BEACH, Fla. — A 302-pound loggerhead sea turtle named Pennywise, struck by a boat off Florida’s Atlantic coast, was taken in for urgent treatment at a turtle hospital this week — and revealed an unexpected surprise during her recovery.Too large to fit the Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s imaging equipment, and even oversized for a human CT scanner at a nearby medical facility, Pennywise was eventually scanned at Palm Beach Equine Clinic using equipment designed for horses.The scan not only confirmed spinal trauma but also showed that the adult female turtle is carrying eggs.“We hope we’ll be able to get her back out there into the wild as soon as possible so that she can lay those eggs,” said Dr. Heather Barron, the center’s chief science officer and...

A vast cavern in South Dakota shielded from the outside world will house sensitive equipment to detect tiny changes in sub-atomic particles

Scientists in a race to discover why our Universe exists

WASHINGTON — Inside a laboratory nestled above the mist of the forests of South Dakota, scientists are searching for the answer to one of science's biggest questions: why does our Universe exist?They are in a race for the answer with a separate team of Japanese scientists – who are several years ahead.The current theory of how the Universe came into being can't explain the existence of the planets, stars and galaxies we see around us. Both teams are building detectors that study a sub-atomic particle called a neutrino in the hope of finding answers.The US-led international collaboration is hoping the answer lies deep underground, in the aptly named Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (Dune).The scientists will travel 1,500 meters below the surface into three vast underground...
