Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

_historic-manchester-warehouse-up-for-sale.webp "At the height of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, there were around 1,800 warehouses in Manchester. There were so many, in fact, that the city was nicknamed “Warehouse City.”<br/><br/>Today, many of them have been demolished or repurposed, but there is one in the Gay Village, possibly even the last of its kind, that is in desperate need of a new owner otherwise it could be lost forever.<br/><br/>The small textile warehouse at 51-53 Richmond Street was constructed in 1860 and until recently had stayed in the same family for decades. It has just gone on the market for the first time and property auctioneers Landwood Group have valued the historic building at more than £2million.")
