A defunct upper portion of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, approximately the size of a five-story building, is projected to collide with the Moon near the Einstein Crater on Wednesday at over 5,000 mph. Scientists anticipate the impact could create a 17-meter crater, offering a rare opportunity for observation and surface study by NASA's LRO.

New Research Uncovers Evidence of Unknown Ancient Human Ancestor

New research by a Berkeley-based team using advanced genomic analysis techniques has found evidence of a previously unknown 'ghost lineage' of ancient humans that interbred with modern humans before the out-of-Africa expansion, contributing 0.5-1.1% of DNA to current human genomes. The study also confirms a 'super archaic' lineage in Denisovan DNA.
