The night sky in van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night may have been inspired by celestial arrangement visible before dawn on 22 July 1889. Findings suggest artwork portrays an artistic observation of waning crescent Moon, Venus, & the Hyades star cluster: https://t.co/wz21KJMlpE
@SciReports The authors suggest that helmet use, e-scooter design, urban infrastructure, and rider behaviour could influence injury risk, and recommend mandatory helmets, stricter speed limits, and improved scooter design.

E-scooter riders may face a higher risk of serious brain and internal organ injuries than motorcyclists and cyclists, according to research published in @SciReports.
@SciReports Adult e-scooter riders had a higher risk of brain, internal organ, and blood vessel injuries than the other groups, although their risk of fractures was lower. Helmet use was documented in just 5.9% of e-scooter riders.

Salt marshes can survive extreme wave events with modest erosion but are likely to offer the best flood protection to coastlines that experience moderate storms, according to the results of experiments in a massive wave flume reported in @Nature: https://t.co/nRnPwwyjlS
An enzyme in the brain might help to preserve cognitive resilience with advancing age, partly by clearing the organ of lipid droplets.

Improvements in cancer treatment in the past half century have made many forms of the condition less deadly, while outcomes for other forms continue to lag. These are the top cancer success stories of the past 50 years, by the numbers: https://t.co/sTSSiSoMcr
Good news can seem in short supply. But it is there if you go looking. In Nature’s latest collection of stories selected to bring readers joy, learn about a country that has reversed its rates of diabetes, umbrellas that keep corals cool and more: https://t.co/OkGayfaFlU
Around 44% of reef-building coral species are estimated to face an increased relative risk of extinction. Analysis published in Nature suggests that projected heat stress associated with climate change is the primary driver of population declines: https://t.co/9kprEIROZi
