NASA confirms Florida house hit by a piece of ISS battery pack: Who needs aircon when you have NASA to punch holes through your home?
theregister.com/2024/04/16/nasa_debris_florida_house/
Quick Glance: Fragment of ISS Battery Hits Florida Residence
- A confirmed piece of space debris hit a Florida home in March, originating from a discarded ISS battery pallet.
- The fragment that entered the house of Alejandro Otero in Naples, Florida, pierced through the roof and crossed 2 floors.
- Following thorough examination, the US space agency confirmed that the fragment was indeed part of the cargo pallet used to secure the batteries.
- NASA intends to update its predictive models for object decay during re-entry and the ISS team will investigate the disposal of the cargo pallet to enhance understanding of the debris's survival.

Peter Higgs, physicist who theorised Higgs boson, dies aged 94: The renowned scientist won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013.
bbc.com/news/science-environment-68774195
Quick Glance: Physicist Peter Higgs Passes Away at 94
- Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science, has died at 94, according to the University of Edinburgh.
- The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN research center was a significant advancement in understanding the cosmos, steering physics towards once-fantastical ideas.
- Higgs, initially 'incompetent' in the physics lab, later specialized in theoretical physics, inspired by quantum physicist Paul Dirac from his school.
- The Higgs boson's completion of the Standard Model opened doors to explore unexplained aspects of the universe and abstract concepts like parallel universes, despite Higgs disliking the 'God particle' nickname.

Quick Glance: Cause of Dubai Flooding: Cloud Seeding or Natural Phenomenon?
- Dubai grapples with the aftermath of heavy rainfall. Speculations on the role of cloud seeding are being discussed.
- Clouds consist of tiny water droplets that coalesce around particles to form rain. Cloud seeding manipulates this process.
- The effectiveness of cloud seeding is scientifically debated, with limited evidence of its efficacy.
