🔬 Humans Are Orbiting the Moon Again — Plus Zombie Cells, Warrior Wheat & an Inside-Out Solar System

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

NASA's Artemis II mission has just launched four astronauts on the first crewed lunar journey in over fifty years, marking a historic leap toward returning humans to the Moon's surface. Astronomers have also discovered a planetary system arranged in the opposite order of our own solar system, throwing current formation theories into question and forcing a major rethink of how worlds are born. In biology, scientists have identified a metabolic weakness in so-called zombie cells — senescent cells that accumulate and drive aging — potentially unlocking new treatments for age-related disease. Ancient farmers unknowingly bred 'warrior wheat' through unintentional evolutionary pressure, a discovery that could reshape modern crop design. And a new study found that even occasional binge drinking may triple the risk of liver damage, challenging the common assumption that moderation throughout the week cancels out the occasional excess.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
