ASTRONOMY After damaging a rotor blade, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter mission ends on Mars. Together, the rover and helicopter spent the past few years exploring Jezero Crater, the site of an ancient lake and river delta on Mars. Scientists are hoping that samples collected by Perseverance, which will be returned to Earth by future missions, could determine whether life ever existed on the red planet. NASA announced the end of the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter mission after its last flight on Jan. 18 caused a damaged rotor to the aircraft while landing. We look back on the aircraft’s milestones.

Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO)

Image
Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are a feature of the large-scale structure of the universe, providing a "standard ruler" that helps astronomers measure the expansion history of the cosmos. The term "baryonic" refers to normal matter, such as protons and neutrons, which make up stars, galaxies, and everything we see around us. The concept of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations originated from the early universe, specifically during the epoch of recombination, which occurred about 380,000 years after the Big Bang. At that time, the universe was a hot, dense soup of particles, primarily electrons and protons. Photons (light particles) were constantly interacting with these charged particles through a process called Thomson scattering. However, as the universe expanded and cooled, electrons and protons combined to form neutral hydrogen atoms. This process, known as recombination, allowed photons to travel freely through space without constant scattering. The

Does consciousness explain quantum mechanics? News By  Paul Sutter (  lifes-little-mysteries  )  published  December 29, 2022 A wild theory suggests that consciousness may explain quantum mechanics, by forcing the subatomic particles to choose one concrete outcome.               Comments (11) (Image credit: PASIEKA via Getty Images) One of the most perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics is that tiny subatomic particles don't seem to "choose" a state until an outside observer measures it. The act of measurement converts all the vague possibilities of what could happen into a definite, concrete outcome. While the mathematics of quantum mechanics provides rules for how that process works, that mat
