NASA has selected a crew of four volunteers to participate in a simulated journey to Mars inside a habitat at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Sea turtles all over the Space Coast are sick, and many of them are covered in tumors which is why the Brevard Zoo is testing a new therapy to help with healing.
Since the opening of the Sea Turtle Healing Center, the medical staff have dealt with several cases of the viral disease fibropapillomatosis, or FP, in sea turtle patients. This now-common illness can become debilitating for sea turtles as it produces both internal and external tumors that can grow large enough to impact their ability to swim, their vision, and their ability to evade predators.
