Scientists finally solve the 70-year mystery of jet noise

For more than 70 years, scientists and engineers have been baffled by the thunderous roar of jet engines — a problem that has hindered quieter, more community‑friendly aviation and made supersonic flight over land nearly impossible. But now, a team of Florida researchers may have finally cracked the code, uncovering the elusive physics behind jet […] Read the original article here: Scientists finally solve the 70-year mystery of jet noise

A 3-limbed Kemp's ridley sea turtle is now being tracked at sea by satellite

The veterinary staff at a Florida sea turtle hospital is getting help from space to monitor the animals they have rehabilitated. Using satellite tracking devices in a collaboration between the Loggerhead Marinelife Center and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, scientists are learning how well sea turtles can survive in the wild after losing a limb. Amelie, a Kemp's ridley sea turtle who lost her right forelimb to a predator — most likely a shark, the center said — was taken to the beach on Wednesday for her highly anticipated release.

Earth’s magnetic field may be more powerful than we thought

Barreling through the universe with incredible power and speed, galactic cosmic rays are a major source of radiation in space. This field may be doing much more: new data collected by China’s Chang’e 4 lunar lander shows that our magnetic field’s influence is so powerful that it extends farther into space than previously believed—stretching even beyond the moon. In a study published on Wednesday in Science Advances, researchers describe a “cavity” in space between Earth and the moon where cosmic rays are deflected by Earth’s magnetic field.
