Interstellar Bites

Here's a summary: Rebekah Tolatovicz is a rockstar mechanic who's built like, a gazillion Orion spacecraft at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. She's basically the MacGyver of space tech, building, testing, and integrating these babies with her own two hands (and maybe some fancy tools).

NASA's getting cozy with Voyager Technologies! They're planning a party on the International Space Station (no, not that kind of party) and it's going to be out of this world! The seventh private astronaut mission is set to launch from Florida no earlier than 2028.

Blast off! A bunch of cool stuff is headed to space, including some teeny tiny satellites built by schools in the US. The 11,000-pound cargo ship is like a cosmic care package, packed with goodies for the International Space Station and some new friends to join the space party!

Conchas and mantecadas are taking over the world (or at least our snack game)! These Mexican treats are so hot right now that even non-Latinx folks can't get enough of 'em. It's like they're saying, "¡Hola! ¡Viva la concha!"

Hershey's US president Andrew Archambault is peacing out! It looks like he's decided to take his love of chocolate elsewhere (literally). Don't worry, though - we're sure the world won't come to an end without him in charge of all things Hershey's.

Get ready to flip your lid with this crazy-delicious collab! Breakfast and dessert had a baby, and it's a sweet treat that'll make you go "egg-stra" excited! In select Milk Bar bakeries, you can indulge in limited-time breakfast flavors turned into desserts - because who says cereal can't be for dinner (or dessert)?

Here's a summary in 2-3 sentences: A team of scientists used super cool space cameras to take pictures of a huge galaxy wind blowing through M82. They found that tiny particles called PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are being blown away from the starburst region, but they're still looking pretty healthy and happy out there in space. It's like they're wearing their favorite party hats and having a blast, even if it means getting a little farther away from the party!

Neutron stars are like the ultimate cool cats - they can be hot or cold, but either way, their core is groovin' with sound waves! New research shows that these sound waves, called g-modes, can change frequency depending on temperature and the composition of the star's core. It's like a cosmic drum solo, and scientists are eager to learn more about it to understand the mysteries of these stars!

Scientists have figured out how to take super cool pictures of giant black holes and now they need a way to analyze them efficiently. They created a special tool that uses math to help figure out what's going on in the picture, kind of like using Instagram filters to enhance your vacation pics! With this new tool, they can even make educated guesses about the black hole's secrets despite some noisy or blurry pictures.

Here's a summary: The world went crazy for tracking their every move with fancy gadgets, because who doesn't want to know they took 10,000 steps today? The Quantified Self movement started as a way to get healthier, but now it's just an excuse to compete in step-counting Olympics.

Recipe bloggers were once the cool kids on the block, sharing their tasty tricks with the world. But as social media became the main event, these blog stars began to fade like yesterday's leftovers.
