"Watch Nasa light the 'largest ever fire in space': Incredible footage shows daring tests on cargo ship close to the ISS
A sealed box containing cotton and fiberglass burst into flames
It will help Nasa understand how large-scale fires behave in microgravity
One video shows a test using smoke to check the air supply
The second video shows the material igniting and burning."

"Giant Hogweed" (erva) e problemas de pele
Citando:
"WHAT IS GIANT HOGWEED?
Chemicals found in the sap of giant hogweed (Heracleum mante-gazzianum) can cause photodermatitis or photosensitivity, where the skin becomes very sensitive to sunlight.
Blistering, pigmentation and scars may result, according to the Royal Horticultural Society.
Giant hogweed can often be seen in gardens and allotments, from spring to autumn, adjacent to infested woodland, heathland or common land."

"Pareidolia is the psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimulus.
It is a form of apophenia, when people see patterns in random, unconnected data.
There have been multiple occasions when people have claimed to see religious images and themes in unexpected places.
On the red planet, one of the most famous is the 'face on Mars' spotted by one of the Viking orbiters in 1976.
This was later proven to just be a chance alignment of shifting sand dunes."

Carbfix: Voltar a fixar o Carbono (efeito estufa) em Basalto
Em "apenas" dois anos:
https://www.rt.com/news/346224-co2-stored-underground-stone/
"An experiment in Iceland has confirmed that carbon dioxide, a major factor in global climate change, can be trapped in basalt rocks. Over 95 percent of CO2 pumped underground near Reykjavik turned into solid carbonate in less than two years.
Called CarbFix, the experimental injection of CO2 dissolved in water was described by researchers in a paper published by the Science magazine this week."

Mãe estava em morte cerebral desde fevereiro. Criança nasceu esta terça-feira – Observador
PS. Cientificamente falando aqui o grande interesse será em perceber se a criança sair afectada ou não pela falta de contacto prematuro com a mãe (ouvir a voz, sentir o movimento, etc.):
Mãe estava em morte cerebral desde fevereiro. Criança nasceu esta terça-feira – Observador
Citando:
"O médico explicou ao Observador que desde que se consiga manter a mulher viva, com o coração a bater, e a ser devidamente oxigenada e alimentada, “é evidente que a criança continuará a desenvolver-se como se a mãe estivesse viva. Para a criança o que é necessário é manter a circulação útero-placentária. Se assim for, o feto não estranha”."

Os peixes e o plástico
Os homens preferem as louras e os peixes preferem os plásticos:
https://munchies.vice.com/en/articles/study-finds-fish-are-obsessed-with-eating-plastic-even-though-its-killing-them
Citando:
"The piscine affection for plastics could make for seriously disastrous results, considering just how much plastic is currently found in the world’s oceans. A joint university study published last year found that roughly 8 million tons of plastic waste are dumped into our oceans each year. Hell, a report presented earlier this year at the World Economic Forum says that there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050."
