Psyche was only the 16th “asteroid” ever discovered: inhabitants of the Solar System that were neither the familiar planets nor the occasional visitors known as comets.

Key Points: 
  • Psyche was only the 16th “asteroid” ever discovered: inhabitants of the Solar System that were neither the familiar planets nor the occasional visitors known as comets.
  • With an average diameter of around 226km, the potato-shaped planetoid is the largest “M-type” asteroid, made largely of iron and nickel, much like Earth’s core.
  • Natural laboratories
    M-type asteroids like Psyche are thought to be the remnants of planets destroyed in the early years of the Solar System.
  • In these asteroids, heavier elements (like metals) sank toward the centre and lighter elements floated up to the outer layers.

The initial trial data demonstrated consistent decreases in PPIX, significant increases in reported sunlight tolerance and improvements in measures of patient quality of life.

Key Points: 
  • The initial trial data demonstrated consistent decreases in PPIX, significant increases in reported sunlight tolerance and improvements in measures of patient quality of life.
  • “We’re delighted to share these initial, positive data from BEACON, which provide the first clinical evidence supporting our therapeutic hypothesis of bitopertin in EPP.
  • Due to batch processing of samples, the data cutoff for PPIX data was April 7, 2023.
  • Management will host a call to review the presented data on Friday, June 9th at 7:30 am ET.

Is there life in the sea that hasn’t been discovered?

Key Points: 
  • Is there life in the sea that hasn’t been discovered?
  • – Haven W., age 12, McKinney, Texas
    Is there life in the sea that hasn’t been discovered?
  • Every ocean life form has to find a way to gather nourishment, reproduce and contribute to an ecological community.
  • The ocean is thousands of feet deep in many areas and offers millions of opportunities for life to thrive.

Black and white smokers

    • Then they found them, at spots called hydrothermal vents – first with underwater cameras and thermometers, next by sending humans down in Alvin, an underwater vehicle.
    • The researchers found spots where hot water jetted upward through cracks in the seafloor, like geysers on land.
    • I was working at the Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution, which designed and built Alvin, when black smokers were discovered.
    • In fact, Alvin has been updated many times; scientists are still using it to explore deep reaches of the ocean.

Fluffy crabs and glowing worms

    • Just in the past two years, researchers have found dozens of new species in the oceans.
    • For example, there’s the “fluffy” sponge crab (Lamarckdromia beagle), which decorates its shell with sponges, probably as camouflage from predators.
    • Three of the most intriguing new species are bioluminescent sea worms that emit a bluish-violet light.
    • The researchers who found the worms in shallow waters near Japan named one Polycirrus Ikeguchi, after a notable Japanese marine biologist named Shinichiro Ikeguchi.

The study utilized rhenium-osmium age dating (Re-Os), a form of radiometric dating, of molybdenite from an outcrop sample.

Key Points: 
  • The study utilized rhenium-osmium age dating (Re-Os), a form of radiometric dating, of molybdenite from an outcrop sample.
  • Attendant potassic alteration (Kspar/biotite) and quartz, magnetite, epidote, and native copper mineralogy (Afton, Kwanika) are also key components.
  • The Re-Os date of (202.8 +/-0.8Ma) from molybdenite on the Gail rock sample is within the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic porphyry Cu-Au (-Mo) age of mineralization cluster of 215-205Ma observed within porphyries located throughout British Columbia.
  • The dating procedure involved sampling areas with visible molybdenite followed by metal-free crushing, followed by gravity and magnetic concentration methods to obtain a molybdenite mineral separate.
