Breaking News -- ScienceDaily

• Astronauts on the private Fram2 Crew Dragon mission successfully performed the first-ever medical X-rays in orbit in 2025. • The mission utilized a new portable X-ray device capable of diagnosing medical issues like broken bones, as well as identifying damage to satellites and spacesuits.

• Scientists have developed a new theoretical framework that expands the application of thermodynamics to dynamic, ever-changing black holes. • Previously, these laws were primarily applicable to perfectly stable black holes, limiting the scope of astrophysical models.

• The Trump administration has appointed Matthew M. Wielicki to oversee the National Climate Assessment, a major federal report on global warming. • Dr. Wielicki has previously criticized the scientific consensus on climate change, labeling current perspectives as "alarmist."

• The Eärendil-1 space mirror has been cleared for launch, marking the first step toward a massive proposed constellation of 50,000 satellites. • The system is designed to reflect sunlight, though the project has sparked significant concerns regarding increased light pollution and its impact on astronomy.

• Astronomers have detected erythrulose, a natural sugar typically found in raspberries, within interstellar clouds of dust and gas near the center of the Milky Way. • This marks the first time this specific sugar has been identified in interstellar space, providing new evidence of complex organic molecules existing outside our solar system.

• Astronomers have detected sugar molecules floating in deep space for the first time, marking a significant discovery in astrochemistry. • These sweet molecules are believed to be precursors to the complex organic compounds necessary for the development of life.

• Scientists have identified the cause of Earth's greatest mass extinction, explaining why modern beaches are dominated by clams and snails rather than brachiopods. • The study reveals that warming oceans and plummeting oxygen levels eliminated species unable to adapt their body plans and metabolisms to the harsh conditions.

• Astronomers detected erythrulose, a four-carbon sugar, in interstellar space for the first time using radio telescopes in Spain. • The discovery was made in the molecular cloud G+0.693−0.027, located near the center of the Milky Way, analyzing spectral data.

• The website "Watts Up With That?" has published a critique claiming that research measuring climate change consensus is "the worst, most invalid research ever published." • The author argues that the methodology—using keyword searches and abstract reviews by political activists—is scientifically unsound and lacks epistemic standing.

• Astronomers have discovered sugar in gaseous form within a large gas cloud located near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. • The discovery was made using two dish-shaped radio telescopes in Spain, which identified the substance by comparing cosmic signals with laboratory samples.

• Astronomers have detected glycolaldehyde, a simple sugar molecule also found in raspberries, within the interstellar clouds of gas and dust between stars. • The discovery was made using specialized telescopes to analyze the chemical composition of space, identifying the sugar's unique spectral signature.
