🐭🚀Mice from #OuterSpace: New preprint by Kiffer et al. applies #SLEAP pose tracking and #DeepEthogram behavioral segmentation to archival mouse videos from #NASA’s Rodent Research-1 mission aboard the #ISS 🛰️

Turns out: In #microgravity, mice reorganize behavior fast. They cluster for rest, launch themselves across the cage, and develop acrobatic looping movements as they adapt to orbital life 💫

New #Bacteria Have Been Discovered on a #Chinese Space Station

It is microscopic and rod-shaped, can create #spores, and may have evolved to #survive hundreds of miles above our planet’s surface.

This #bacterium, never before seen on Earth, was detected on #China's #Tiangong #space station. It has been named Niallia tiangongensis, and it inhabited the cockpit controls on the station, living in #microgravity conditions.

Ice Without Gravity

Astronaut Don Pettit is back in space, and that means lots of awesome microgravity experiments. Here, he grew thin wafers of ice in microgravity in a -95 degree Celsius freezer. Then he took the ice wafers and photographed them between crossed polarizers, creating this colorful image. The colors highlight different crystal orientations within the ice and give us a hint about how the freezing front formed and expanded. I can’t wait to see more examples! (Image credit: D. Pettit/NASA; via Ars Technica; submitted by J. Shoer)

🇨🇳 Each lab ⚗️ hosts a number of simulators that recreate different sets of conditions, including #microgravity, solar radiation ☢️, #space dust and extremely low temperatures ❄️.

The lunar 🌙 dust simulation chamber can be used to study the dust’s formation and its effect on #spacecraft, #spacesuits and #astronauts 👨‍🚀. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3253623/worlds-largest-space-environment-simulator-launched-northeast-china

• When you’re in #microgravity, all those systems still work to push fluids to the upper body, unopposed by gravity, so you get this #swelling of tissues in the head 🤯
• In some crew members, in addition to mild visual changes, there have been findings such as optic nerve swelling, retinal changes, changes in the shape of the eye 👁️ and a suggestion that there might be an increase in intracranial pressure
• Up to a third of muscle 💪 from particular muscle groups being lost 〽️ within seven to 10 days of flight. This also includes deterioration of heart ❤️ muscle
• Lack of gravity also has the effect of causing bone 🦴 to, almost literally, dissolve away
• With a new dawn 🌅 every 90 minutes, #astronauts struggle to adapt to artificial night times 😴
• There is growing evidence that #spaceflight has a detrimental effect on the immune system ⚕️.
• Astronauts often report “seeing” bright flashes ⚡ of light, which are caused by cosmic rays passing through their brains 🧠
