NASA begins fourth Artemis 1 rocket 'wet dress rehearsal' fueling test today
With repairs complete and the rocket in place at its designated launch pad, NASA is ready to once again attempt a critical fueling test of its next-generation Space Launch System. Per Space.com, the Artemis 1 “wet dress rehearsal” will begin at 5PM ET today with a call to stations for ground personnel at Kennedy Space Center.
Over the next 48 hours, technicians will attempt loading the rocket’s first and second stages with cryogenic fuel. Provided there aren’t major setbacks, they will then try to load it with propellant starting Monday morning. If the test is successful, the Artemis 1 mission could get underway as early as July 26th.
For the oft-delayed SLS, this is its second trip to historic Launch Pad 39B. Following an initial attempt at the wet dress rehearsal on April 1st, NASA tried to complete a modified version of the fueling test on April 14th, but that was cut short after the agency discovered a hydrogen leak in the rocket’s mobile launch tower. NASA eventually decided to move the SLS back to the Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs and to give a critical nitrogen supplier time to complete capacity upgrades.
Once the wet dress rehearsal is complete, NASA can finally move forward with Artemis 1. The mission will send an unmanned Orion capsule on a flight around the Moon. The next two Artemis missions would feature human astronauts, with an eye toward a lunar landing sometime in 2025 or 2026.

Weird water dynamics fuel deep earthquakes and fist-sized diamonds
Earthquakes are no laughing matter, unless of course they’re the premise of a skit involving a 4.3 magnitude shakeup and a surprising concentration of hilariously named citizens who are all, thankfully, safe and well. While earthquakes can be a source of comedy and adventure in TV and movies, some of them have presented something of a mystery in the real world. Earthquakes are typically surface level events, resulting from the interactions between tectonic plates where they meet at fault lines.

Reuters VideosJohnson: Britain must resist 'Ukraine fatigue'
STORY: Johnson arrived at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, southern England on Saturday (June 18) following a surprise visit to meet with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in Kyiv.He also offered a major training operation he believes could ‘change the equation’ against the Russian invasion.“It would be a catastrophe if Putin won, it would be a catastrophe if he was able to secure the land bridge, the cities in the south that he has, to hold the Donbas, that's what he wants,” Johnson said.Some members of his Conservative Party had criticized him for making the trip instead of attending a conference in northern England, where some Conservatives won traditionally opposition Labour-supporting parliamentary seats for the first time in 2019.The trip also came a day after the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Romania travelled to Kyiv and endorsed Ukraine's candidate status to join the European Union.Johnson, who faces political pressure at home, has grown in popularity in Ukraine as Britain has poured in military and political support into Kyiv during the Russian invasion.The new military training program would train Ukrainian forces outside of the country, Johnson's office said. Each soldier would spend three weeks learning battle skills for the front line, as well as basic medical training, cyber-security and counter explosive tactics.

F1 puts brakes on porpoising as it bounces back into Canada
Lewis Hamilton joked that he felt shorter from the abuse to his spine last week as the seven-time Formula One champion bounced around the street circuit in Azerbaijan. It took all week for his body to recover because his new Mercedes is suffering from the “porpoising” effect plaguing several teams after F1 cleared the way for different techniques for downforce aerodynamics this season. The FIA stepped in ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix with technical directives designed to counter the bouncing of the cars that's been a byproduct of ground effect changes, a move welcomed by Hamilton for his own health.

What was needed, the assembled group of astronomers, engineers and biologists concluded, was Cyclops, a vast array of radio telescopes with as many as 1,000 100-meter-diameter antennas.

New research reveals Central Asia, rather than China, as origin of the Black Death
A study by a team of international researchers has traced the origins of the Black Death to a site in Central Asia, countering previous theories that the bubonic plague emerged in China. The plague, considered the deadliest pandemic ever known to humankind, caused the death of around a third of Europe’s population in the 14th century, and up to 200 million people worldwide. Published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, the study drew on the previous work of Russian historian Phil Slavin, who linked the disease’s origins to a spike of deaths in a town in Central Asia from 1338 to 1339.

From dry to deluge, how heavy snow, rain flooded Yellowstone
Just three months ago, the Yellowstone region like most of the West was dragging through an extended drought with little snow in the mountains and wildfire scars in Red Lodge from a year ago when the area was hit by 105-degree Fahrenheit (40.5 Celsius) heat and fire. Mostly natural fleeting forces with some connections to long-term climate change combined to trigger the switch from drought to deluge, scientists said. It was a textbook case of “weather weirding,” said Red Lodge resident and National Snow and Ice Data Center deputy lead scientist Twila Moon.
