Colorado State University-led research explored the nuanced dynamics of identifying a romantic partner as a best friend and its implications for well-being. Only 14.4% of partnered U.S. adults call their romantic partner a best friend, according to the study, a choice linked with more companionship yet less perceived social support than keeping a separate best friend.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 is a rocket used for both human and nonhuman space missions, and since 2010, the rocket has been launched over 400 times. Motivated by noise concerns from residents in Ventura County, a team of researchers from BYU and California State University, Bakersfield collected 132 measurements from sonic booms over an area of 200 square miles during the summer of 2024. By collecting data on multiple qualities of the Falcon 9 sonic booms, researchers can help discern how different launch-day variables affect a boom's impact.

New images captured by NASA's Perseverance Rover with its Mastcam-Z instrument show green auroras in visible light. When humans finally walk on Mars and look to the skies, they could possibly see faint auroras there, too.

The moon's nearside (that is, the side facing Earth) is dark-colored and dominated by ancient lava flows, whereas the farside is more rugged—and NASA researchers now suggest it's due to a wonky lunar interior. Using data from twin spacecraft named Ebb and Flow, they found a 2–3% difference in the moon mantle's ability to deform on each side. They say this data could be explained by the nearest hemisphere's insides being up to 170°C hotter than the farside.
