In today's episode, we explore NASA and SpaceX's collaboration on the SPHEREx and PUNCH missions, set to launch in 2025, and how these missions aim to expand our understanding of the universe. We also discuss a new study revealing that sea turtles are laying eggs earlier due to climate change, highlighting both the adaptability and challenges these creatures face. Additionally, learn about NASA's innovative use of virtual reality to prepare astronauts for future Moon missions. Join us for these stories and more on Simply News.
