Moonlight on the heart? Dim night light linked to heart changes, study suggests

A large study of over 11,000 people without heart disease tracked nighttime light exposure for seven days and followed up with cardiac MRIs three years later, finding that exposure to light levels above 3 lux during sleep was associated with changes in heart muscle shape and function compared with those with no light exposure; 3 lux is roughly moonlight. The study, published in the European Heart Journal, notes limitations in testing duration and sensor methods and calls for further research.

NASA backs 18 radical spaceflight ideas, from a fleet of femtosats to lunar cave explorers

NASA's NIAC program selected 18 Phase I feasibility studies, each funded up to $175,000 for nine months, to explore transformative space technologies for future missions. Concepts include the Lunar Underground eXplorer drones mapping lunar lava tubes, a plan to deploy 10,000 tiny femtosats to Saturn's rings, and a dynamic hierarchical nulling interferometer to image exoplanet surfaces; these are seed ideas, not missions, intended to mature technologies for Artemis-era exploration.

Marathon’s Makeover: Bungie Tweaks Monetisation and Difficulty After Launch Slump

Marathon’s Steam launch drew a peak around 88k players but has since drifted down into the low‑70k range. To shore up momentum, Bungie is rebasing in‑game currency LUX so a $10 purchase now yields enough for a skin (1,120 LUX), with refunds for affected bundles. An upcoming update will also ease the game’s difficulty by increasing navigation waypoint distance from 10m to 20m, boosting Perimeter loot spawns (Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates), and raising starting ammo for certain free kits, aiming to balance value with challenge and attract a broader audience.

Bungie pledges patch for Marathon and boosts Lux value after microtransaction feedback

Bungie says Marathon will receive its first patch next week, and it will raise the Lux you get from the $10 bundle from 1100 to 1120 while crediting 20 Lux to players who bought the bundle before the change. The studio is also reviewing feedback to improve value, previews QoL fixes (including more nav points and ammo spawns) and will make Deluxe Edition items available to all. Server Slam rewards have been resent and Twitch Drops continue as Bungie investigates ongoing issues like Weasel error codes.
