In this episode of Science Quickly, we dive into NASA’s latest
headaches as the Artemis II moon mission hits delays. We also take
a look at a massive solar flare that lit up the skies—and disrupted
some tech—along with fresh concerns that PFAS “forever chemicals,”
used to replace ozone‑depleting substances, are accumulating far
more than expected. And new research shows that babies are actually
born with a sense of rhythm. Recommended Reading: NASA document
