The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects. The target object, Dimorphos, is a 160-meter-long (525-foot) minor-planet moon of the asteroid Didymos. DART was launched on 24November 2021 and successfully collided with Dimorphos on 26September 2022 while about 11million kilometers (6.8million miles) from Earth. The collision shortened Dimorphos's orbit by 32 minutes and was mostly achieved by the momentum transfer associated with the recoil of the ejected debris, which was larger than the impact. This video is a timelapse of DART's final five and a half minutes before impacting Dimorphos, and was compiled from photographs captured by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO), the spacecraft's 20-centimeter-aperture (7.9-inch) camera, and transmitted to Earth in real time. The replay is ten times faster than reality, except for the last six images, which are shown at the same rate at which the spacecraft returned them. Both Didymos and Dimorphos are visible at the start of the video, and the final frame shows a patch of Dimorphos's surface 16 meters (51 feet) across. DART's impact occurred during transmission of the final image, resulting in a partial frame.Video credit: NASA /Johns Hopkins APLRecently featured: Finding in the TempleWait for Me, DaddyRed-lored whistlerArchiveMore featured pictures

Freddie Mercury of Queen, 1982 Tour at the Various Locations in Oakland, California Photo by Steve Jennings / WireImage via Getty ImagesAs midnight reached West London and Friday night passed into the first minutes of Saturday, November 23, 1991, rock band Queens press officer released a statement on behalf of frontman Freddie Mercury.Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, Mercury announced, I wish to confirm that I have been tested HIV-positive and have AIDS.Even as he lay isolated in Garden Lodge, his Kensington home, he could see paparazzis cigarette smoke over his garden wall. I felt it correct to keep this information private to date in order to protect the privacy of those around me, he continued. However, the time has now come for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth, and I hope that everyone will join with me, my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease.Mercury closed his letter with a final plea for privacy, a commodity that had proved elusive in recent years: My privacy has always been very special to me, and I am famous for my lack of interviews. Please understand this policy will continue.Failing health had kept him out of the limelight since his last concert with Queen in 1986, and Mercury and Queens press team publicly denied that he had HIV/AIDS even after his 1987 diagnosis. That didnt stop British tabloids from hounding him about his sexuality and health: In 1990, for instance, the Sun ran a special storycalled The Sad Face of Freddie Mercury with a picture of him leaving a doctors office looking haggard and gaunt.After recording new music with his bandmates in Montreux, Switzerland, Mercury had returned home to London for the last time. He languished in bed as doctors and visitors like Elton John, his bandmates, former fiance and longtime friend Mary Austin, and his partner Jim Hutton kept him company during his shaky last days.

Exploratorium efimeros via Wikimedia Commons under CC BY 4.0 On the day his groundbreaking statement was released, Mercurys condition was severe. By now Freddie had lost his sight, could barely move his muscles, had given up all solids and was surviving on the bare minimum of liquids, biographers Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne wrote in Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury. He was drifting in and out of consciousness.It was clear that death was near. By releasing a statement, Mercury and his inner circle hoped to end the aggressive media speculation that had plagued the singer as much as his illnessto provide relief in his last moments and encourage openness about the still-stigmatized disease.He only lasted a day longer. Mercury was pronounced dead at 6:48 p.m. on November 24. The official cause of death was bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.Writing in Rolling Stone, journalist Jeffrey Ressner noted that Mercurythe man born as Farrokh Bulsara to a Parsi Indian immigrant family in Zanzibarwas the first major rock star to die of AIDS.We have lost the greatest and most beloved member of our family, the band later wrotein a statement. We feel overwhelming grief that he has gone, sadness that he should be cut down at the height of his creativity, but above all great pride in the courageous way he lived and died.Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.Filed Under: AIDS, Death, LGBTQI History, Music, Musicians, On This Day in History, Rock and Roll, Rock Musicians

Gus, the Young Emperor Penguin Who Made a Surprise Appearance in Australia, Is Now Heading HomeWildlife caretakers released the bird into the Southern Ocean after hed put on some weight and regained his strength Gus did not hesitate to belly flop into the ocean. DBCA / Miles BrothersonThe emperor penguin that made global headlines after waddling ashore on a beach in Australia has been released back into the wild.Surfers spotted the out-of-place bird on Ocean Beach in Denmark, Western Australia, on November 1. Somehow, the juvenile male had ended up more than 2,100 miles from his home in Antarctica.Carol Biddulph, a registered wildlife caretaker, took the black-and-white bird to her home, where she has a dedicated penguin enclosure. The three-foot-tall penguin was malnourished and weighed just 47 pounds, which is well below the average weight of around 88 pounds for the species.Emperor penguin released at sea 20 days after waddling onto Australian beachWatch on For the last three weeks, Biddulph and her husband, Graham, have been carefully nursing the bird back to health, according to a statement from Australias Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).At first, Biddulph didnt know what to call the penguinor whether to name him at all.I really didnt know whether he was going to make it to begin with because he was so undernourished, she says in a video shared with media outletsby the DBCA.But once it seemed like the juvenile would recover, Biddulph started brainstorming. She thought about historical emperorsand her brain landed on Roman emperor Augustus for some crazy reason, she adds.[The] shortened version of Gus just seemed to suit him. So thats what it is, she says in the video. By the end of his recovery, Gus was eatingroughly 20 pilchard fish three times each day. DBCA / Miles BrothersonBiddulph helped Gus regain weight through a gentle process of refeeding him, not too fast, not too slow, just right, she says. She and her husband started by giving him fluids, then moved on to a slurry. Eventually, they began feeding him whole fish.Once hed made a full recovery, Gus was eating roughly 20 pilchard fish, also known as mulies, three times each day. Before his release, he weighed about 55 pounds and was in a much chunkier shape, Biddulph says.As he was regaining his strength, Gus enjoyed standing next to the big mirror in his enclosure. Since penguins are social birds, he might have thought his reflection was a fellow emperor penguin.I find for other species of penguin that I have in care, the mirror is a must-have, especially when Ive only got one in at a time, says Biddulph in the video. When theres two or three [penguins], its great, they can bounce off each other, but when youve just got one, they just need that comfort of knowing theyve got a buddy. The emperor penguin liked to stand next to a big mirror in his enclosure. DBCA / Miles BrothersonOn the day of Gus release, he was placed into a ventilated pet carrier with an ice pack and loaded onto a small DBCA vessel. With Biddulph, her husband, a veterinarian and a wildlife officer on board, the boat sailed out of King George Sound in Albany, Western Australia.Once they reached an undisclosed location in the open Southern Ocean, the caretakers placed the carrier on the edge of the boat and opened one side. Without hesitating, Gus belly flopped into the water below with a splash, took a drink and began swimming.Magnificent. He just knew where he was supposed to be, didnt give a backward glance and just disappeared, says Biddulph in DBCA footage captured on the boat. Its just amazing. He was ready for it. After jumping into the water, Gus took a drink and swam off without looking back. DBCA / Miles BrothersonFor her part, Biddulph says she enjoyed taking care of Gus and will miss him. But at the end of the day, shes thrilled to see him back where he belongs.I got into wildlife care not to make these birds my pets, she says. I want birds to be free, and every one that we care for that goes back to its natural environment means that weve done our job well.Its still a mystery as to how and why Gus ended up so far from home in the first place. Experts believe he may have been looking for food, then got caught up in a current.To ornithologists, Gus is whats known as a vagrant. Especially during the spring and fall migrations, its fairly common for birds to end up in unusual placesand their appearances are always a treat for birdwatchers.Some vagrants get blown off course by storms, while others have been known to catch rides on boats. Since birds use Earths magnetic field to navigate, its also possible that disruptions to that field due to space weather might cause them to lose their bearings. But vagrancy largely remains a mystery to scientists.If a species showed up all the time, wed just consider that to be part of their range, says Casey Youngflesh, a biologist at Clemson University, to National Geographics Tatyana Woodall. Truthfully, we still dont understand a lot about the marine environment and dont have a good idea where many animals spend their time.Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.Filed Under: Animals, Antarctica, Australia, Biology, Birds, Conservation, Good News, Oceans, Penguins, Sea Birds, Water, wildlife
