Mike Kline (notkalvin)(NEW YORK) Federal officials continue to investigate the spread of avian flu, also known as bird flu, in livestock across the country and are now testing the U.S. beef supply to look for the genetic presence of the H5N1 virus.The virus has been found in at least 34 cattle herds across nine states, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The federal agency said it remains confident that the nation s meat supply is safe."There have been no cases of any human being contracting bird flu or H5N1 from meat or milk. So it s completely safe," Dr. Scott Haskell, a professor of food safety at the Institute for Food Laws and Regulations at Michigan State University, told ABC News. "It s not a disease that spreads through eating or drinking."A spokesperson from the USDA said in a statement: "USDA has a rigorous meat inspection process, where USDA s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) veterinarians are present at all federal livestock

NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute(NEW YORK) In the race to understand the potential habitability of Saturn s icy and active moon, Enceladus, scientists could have a newfound understanding of the moon s defining stripes and eruptions.Enceladus harbors a global, subsurface ocean more than 30 miles deep, that periodically erupts jets of ice crystals and plumes of gas above its South Pole, which were first recognized by NASA s Cassini spacecraft in 2005.During the 13-year mission studying Saturn and its 146 moons, the Cassini spacecraft was able to capture material ejected into space by Enceladus jets.Enceladus, named after a giant in Greek mythology, is the sixth-largest of Saturn s many moons and spans approximately 310 miles in diameter, according to NASA.Over nearly 20 years, scientists have explored the chemical makeup in Enceladus jets, and in a June 2023 study, researchers determined that the salt-rich frozen liquid and gas plumes contain the key ingredients needed to sus
