Surprising Science from Cassini’s Grand Finale - You'd think scientists would have Saturn all figured out after watching it up close for 13 years. They don't. Cassini took this image of Saturn's rings on Sept. 13, 2017, at a distance of 1.1 million km (684,000 miles) from the planet. It is among the last images Cassini sent back to Earth. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute</em When NASA's Cassini spacecraft eased into orbit around Saturn in July 2004, its "to-do" list spanned ever...

Did Kaepernick take a knee for "sentencing reform?"
The National Football League has agreed to endorse sentencing reform, but the owners are also mulling over a rule that would mandate that players stand for the national anthem.
Sure, sentencing reform is important, but I'm pretty sure Black Lives Matter is concerned about more than that. What about racial profiling, harassment and the black lives lost in the process of an arrest?

ScienceCasts 、Lettuce Orbit Earth 、A New Form of Life Takes Root on the ISS 、。。
By science@nasa 、。。
A New life form .. is taking root on the International Space Station, and its name is "Outregeous." .. The space-faring lettuce was delivered to the space station by a SpaceX Dragon capsule on April 20th 1014 、。。
It's spring, and all around the northern hemisphere gardeners are planting seeds, tilling soil, and watering crops .. Imagine a gardener's surprise, however, if water from the hose, instead of hitting the soil and sinking in, floated up to the sky .. Or if the soil itself rose up from the ground and fled the garden 、。。
That's exactly the kind of dilemma astronauts aboard the International Space Station have faced for years. Without gravity, how do you make your garden grow?
The situation is even more confusing for plants. In a weightless environment, up and down has no meaning, so roots grow in odd, chaotic directions. Shoots that emerge from the soil in search of the sun find, instead, a cold metallic lamp that never rises or sets. And needless to say, it never rains inside the space station 、。。
On April 18th, SpaceX's Falcon rocket, carrying the Dragon cargo spacecraft blasted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida with a possible solution to these problems ..
"We call it 'Veggie'," says Gioia Massa of NASA's Kennedy Space Center .. "It's a plant growth chamber designed to make gardens thrive in weightlessness." 、。。
Massa, who leads the Veggie science team, has been working on the project for years. Veggie's heritage traces back decades to experiments with plants on board the Russian space station Mir and NASA's space shuttles .. In all that time, NASA astronauts have never tasted home-grown food in space .. but that could soon change.
"Our first crop will be a variety of lettuce called 'Outredgeous,'" says Massa .. "It is delicious." 、。。
Veggie solves the problems of weightlessness using 'plant pillows.'
"Basically, these are bags of quote, 'space dirt' and slow-release fertilizer," explains Trent Smith, the Veggie project manager at Kennedy .. "Wicks inserted into the bags draw water into the soil where it cannot float away." 、。。
In addition to guiding water, the wicks act as a kind of gardening stake 、。。
"The wicks are where we glue the seeds," continues Massa. "We have to be very careful to orient the seeds so that roots grow 'down' into the soil and shoots pop out of the bag." 、。。
When the shoots emerge, they find an array of LEDs shining overhead, providing light for photosynthesis and a sense of direction to keep the shoots moving "up." .. The bellows-like walls of the chamber allow it to expand to make room for the growing crop 、。。
Pictures of Veggie often show the chamber flooded with a mixture of red and blue light. That's the color of light plants use most for photosynthesis 、。。
"We're just giving them what they want," says Smith 、。。
Under a purplish light, plants appear gray and unappetizing. "Who wants to look at that?" asks Massa 、。。
Astronaut gardeners can switch on green LEDs as well. Adding that color to the red-blue mix produces white light and displays the garden to better effect .. The appearance of the garden is important because, as Massa points out, gardening has psychological as well as nutritional benefits. Compared to Earth, spaceships are a relatively lifeless environment, cold, metallic and sterile 、。。
"Plants allow astronauts to form a connection to living things," she says. "There could be a huge psychological benefit." ..
Chalking up another success for commercial space flight, the Dragon capsule delivered Veggie to the space station on Sunday, April 20th 、。。
