Scientists used soil samples taken during moon missions between 1969 and 1972 to grow a type of cabbage.
For the first six days, the moon soil-grown plants looked indistinguishable from earth soil-grown ones.
After that, the lunar plants started to wilt, but it’s still a great result for an experiment almost everyone involved in expected to fail.
The image of Sagittarius A* is the first direct observation confirming the presence of the black hole.
Lester Kiewit interviewed Dr Tana Joseph, an astronomer at AstroComms about this.
