Late-in-life treadmill training mitigates gut microbiome imbalances and cardiovascular disease risk in mice "Here we demonstrate that a 12-wk treadmill running program in older mice rejuvenates the gut microbiome and attenuates markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Notably, specific microbial taxa correlate with activity-induced improvements in overall myocardial performance and inflammation, highlighting the importance of gut health on CVD and illustrating the restorative benefits that can be attained from a low-cost lifestyle intervention." https://t.co/49qVozrW3A
On their first apogee, nearly 44,000 miles from Earth, the Artemis II crew is getting a look at home unseen in 53 years. Here's Christina Koch describing her view of sunset in India a few minutes ago. https://t.co/uBZmQjCoFt
As a medical school professor, I teach that autophagy -- the body's cellular recycling system -- is one of the most powerful defenses against aging and disease. Now the first-ever human clinical trial proves a fasting mimicking diet activates it. Cedars-Sinai and...

While on the far side of the Moon, the orbit of the Orion capsule will just happen to align with the Sun and the Moon, treating the Artemis astronauts to a total eclipse. The Sun's corona will be visible. Should...
Literally every stat of the Artemis mission is mind blowing, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN they travel speeds of 28,000km/h. That’s incredible and terrifying #artemis #nasa #moon
As a medical school professor, I teach students that Alzheimer's has many risk factors. But this one is invisible -- and almost nobody talks about it. A massive study of 27.8 million Medicare beneficiaries just found that fine particle air pollution...
.@SpaceX @Starlink tells @FCC it was forced to perform 30 collision-avoidance maneuvers after @Amazonleo's Feb 12 launch w/ @Arianespace because sats were released at 480 km, 50-90 km higher than authorized, and did not warn other operators beforehand.
All things considered the Artemis II mission seems to be going splendidly. Big moment for today comes this afternoon with the go/no go decision to burn Orion’s engines for the Moon.

Next major Artemis 2 milestone is a perigee-raise rocket burn carried out at 1130 UTC, near apogee. Resulting orbit will be around 191 x 70133 km.
A 17th object has been cataloged associated with the Rassvet-3 launch. Not yet clear which of the 17 objects is the Soyuz upper stage.
Orion has made the USS2 burn to raise its perigee. ICPS remains in a 11 x 70358 km orbit; Orion now in a 118 x 70134 km orbit.
Has NASA has put out something similar to this somewhere? I have been looking for some nice animations of the trajectory for ages and haven't come across anything. Really love this sort of thing as it shows scale and the...
