It's time for miSci's innovator of the week! This week we're highlighting Yvonne Brill, rocket scientist!

Brill developed thrusters that could keep satellites in orbit and turn spaceships. Her engines heated up gas before sending it into rocket nozzles, giving them much more 'push' for less weight. Today our satellites run orbit for years in the places we need them to, thanks in part to her clever work.

For miSci's 90th anniversary we are highlighting an innovator every week and inviting people to spread their stories!

For #ThrowbackThursday, Cloud Seeding content is continued from our Tuesday post! Taken in 1947, the first photo shows Irving Langmuir, Bernard Vonnegut, and Vincent Schaefer of the GE Research Lab peering into a modified GE freezer of snow made by Schaefer. Taken the following year, the second photo shows Vonnegut creating precipitation using heated silver iodide.

Heads up! Or… not so much. ☄️ At the Catali

Heads up! Or… not so much. ☄️

At the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, they managed to discover a 1 meter asteroid today, 8 hours before it hits the Earth’s atmosphere. The asteroid, called CAQTDL2 for now, is harmless. After it enters Earth’s atmosphere above the Philippines around 12:46 PM EST it is expected to burn up, giving those with a view in the Philippines a dramatic fireball up above.

What’s really exciting? This is only the 9th time we’ve been able to discover an asteroid before impact. Finding this one is a huge step for the scientists working to improve planetary defense systems, and a sign of all the improvements thus far.
