Astronomy ’s Environmental Toll Is Surprisingly High. But There Are Ways to Clean it Up
It’s hard not to love the Kepler Space Telescope. Launched in 2009, the venerable spacecraft discovered nearly 5,000 suspected or confirmed exoplanets—or worlds orbiting other stars—during its 11-year lifetime. Built and launched at a relative bargain price of $600 million, it generated 4,306 scientific papers written by 9,606 authors. So all good, right? Well, not entirely.
In that same 11 years, the telescope that discovered so many other worlds did no favors for our own, generating an annual total of 4,784 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, or a hefty 52,620 tons over its lifetime, mostly as a result of...

Chernobyl Experts Say Russia Could Set Off a Nuclear Disaster

This conversation has been condensed and edited for leng...

A New Report Shows the True COVID-19 Death Toll May Be Three Times Higher Than We Thought
More than 6 million people have died from COVID-19 worldwide, according to official counts. But the more comprehensive toll, tallying deaths directly or indirectly attributable to COVID-19, may be three times higher, according to a new study published in the Lancet.
“We can confidently say that the pandemic has killed an extra 18.2 million people,” says Dr. Chris Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics at the University of Washington and a co-author of the paper.
Those 18.2 million people represent what epidemiologists refer to as “excess deaths,” or the additional number of people who...
