The Couleur Culotte, imagined by Lucie Duhoux in Tarbes, speaks to the female anatomy, embellished with elegant imagery. During creation, the game needs financial support. Men and boys, do not turn the page! One of Couleur Culotte's ambitions in Tarbes (Hautes-Pyrénées) is that knowledge of female anatomy and the menstrual cycle are not topics reserved only for women. Lucy Duhoux, the nurse who started the project, attests: “When I was doing prevention in schools or colleges, the boys were the first to ask questions.”. For professionals who have worked for two years as a school nurse in Lithuania, they have…

Image source: NASA TVNASA's newest Earth observation satellite launched a step (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem) is dedicated to climate science and helping researchers learn more about the relationship between the atmosphere and the oceans. Satellite observing technology has been used to study Earth's atmosphere and oceans for decades, but with a spectrograph and two polarimeters on board, PACE will provide a major leap forward by providing new data on clouds, aerosols and phytoplankton in our oceans. PACE will provide new insight into clouds and aerosols within the atmosphere, and microscopic phytoplankton in the ocean, which could help reveal more…

NASA's Voyager-1 spacecraft traveling outside the solar system has a problem. The spacecraft was unable to send any scientific data to Earth as it continued its journey outside the solar system. In an update, NASA said engineers are still working to resolve the data issue on Voyager 1. “We can talk to the spacecraft, and it can hear us, but it's a slow process given the incredible distance the spacecraft is from Earth,” JPL said. The spacecraft holds the record as the farthest man-made object ever. Read more The Voyager spacecraft sent to study exoplanets. (Image: NASA)What's wrong with Voyager…

Clusters of grape-like bacteria have arrived at the International Space Station on a resupply mission @northropgrumman – NASA NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences Division is sending three physical science and space biology experiments and equipment to the International Space Station aboard Northrop Grumman's 20th Commercial Resupply Services mission. These experiments aim to pioneer scientific discovery, enable sustainable exploration of deep space, and support transformative engineering. Using microbes to improve plant growth in space Plants will play a crucial role in space exploration because they provide a fresh food source for astronauts, freshen the air of habitats, and help recycle resources.…

To mark the 30th anniversary of British Science Week (8-17 March), the British Science Association is offering free activity packs full of ideas for celebrating environmental science at home, in nurseries, schools and in community group settings. The theme of this year's packs is “Time”. With time and action on the climate crisis closely linked, the environment – ​​and the steps we can take to protect it – is a subtheme that runs through all four packs, covering early, primary, secondary and community years groups, which aim to encourage children and young people to think about how the environment relates…

The target landing site was on the slopes near Xiuli Crater, which is located just south of the Moon's equator.As the Japanese Aerospace Agency said: “Operations have resumed!”After the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) reestablished contact with the lunar lander on Sunday evening, the rover began studying its surroundings in detail and sending new images back to Earth.The lander is performing analyzes that could inform future, much longer missions to the Moon.”Now we're really seeing the science,” one lunar scientist told BBC News.The vehicle is at a very critical angle. The photo taken by the tiny, baseball-sized robot called Sora-Q…
