(NASA) Earth orbit is busier right now than it's ever been. Three people launched toward the International Space Station (ISS) yesterday (Sept. 11) aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, pushing the total number of people in Earth orbit to a new high-water mark. "With the trio now in orbit, there is a record of 19 people currently in orbit," NASA commentator Anna Schneider said during the agency's webcast of the Soyuz liftoff. The old record was 17, set last year.

​ (ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/W. Vlemmings et al.) Astronomers have gotten the first-ever detailed views of turbulent activity in a star other than our own sun. A time-lapse video released Wednesday (Sept. 11) shows enormous gas bubbles roiling on a nearby star called R Doradus, a red giant about 300 times bigger than our sun that lies roughly 180 light-years away, in the southern constellation Dorado. Like a boiling soup on a stovetop, the star's scorching material erupts on its surface in bubbles, which astronomers estimate swell to a whopping 75 times our sun's size. Full Story: Space(9/12)

Making matters worse, Voyager 1 is so old that sudden changes could damage the spacecraft. Full Story: Space(9/11)

Motor preparation is the brain’s way of making calculations about how to complete a movement — similar to lining up an arrow on a target before unleashing it. Under pressure, motor preparation activity in the brain drops (with apologies to the Sacramento Kings' Isaiah Thomas, shown here after a painful loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder).
