Masahisa Sato: Make Japan Acknowledge Nanjing Massacre with Public Apology Before Japan Forgets Entirely
Welcome back to another fine and furry Caturday! We’re celebrating by feasting our eyes on this awesome strawberry that grew into the shape of a kitty cat. The catberry was found, identified, and shared online by Japanese Twitter user @mugi411.
Things got even cute when another Twitter user, @calicohuggg, created and shared this adorable piece of strawberry cat fan art:

Welcome back to Surreal Sunday, when people become real-life Weebles:
This weebly-wobbly gentleman is Monsieur Culbuto, a living toy with a sweet demeanor who’s part human, part giant toy, entirely wonderful.
Part of the French street theatre company Dynamogène, all Monsieur Culbuto wants is to interact with passersby. He extends a hand, sometimes even calling out for help, inviting curious souls of any age to simply take his hand and play.

Hooray, Lucas the Spider is back! The last time we saw Lucas he was playing in the bathroom sink. Then he disappeared down the drain in search of a new adventure. Now, thanks to animator Joshua Slice (and his young nephew Lucas), it appears Lucas the fuzzy jumping spooder has been captured by one of the humans in his house.
But he doesn’t seem terribly concerned about the situation. Should Lucas be worried? Watch and find out!

Behold the frothy creations of Taiwanese barista Chang Kuei Fang, the newest member of the Department of Caffeinated Creativity. Chang Keui Fang owns My Cofi in Taiwan where she prepares custom 3D coffee art that varies from creepy crawly cockroaches, spiders, and other creatures to incredibly kawaii pet portraits, wild animals, and pop culture characters.
The art take up to 15 minutes to create and Fang charges anywhere from $6.50 to $32 for one of her drinks -making them pretty pricey for a cup of coffee. But then again, it’s a small price to pay for a drinkable masterpiece.
Visit The Daily Mail and the My Cofi Facebook page to check out many more examples of Chang Kuei Fang’s caffeinated artwork.

Coffee in Space: Keeping Crew Members Grounded in Flight
Happy National Coffee Day, coffee lovers!
On Earth, a double shot mocha latte with soymilk, low-fat whip and a caramel drizzle is just about as complicated as a cup of coffee gets. Aboard the International Space Station, however, even just a simple cup of black coffee presents obstacles for crew members.
Understanding how fluids behave in microgravity is crucial to bringing the joys of the coffee bean to the orbiting laboratory. Astronaut Don Pettit crafted a DIY space cup using a folded piece of overhead transparency film. Surface tension keeps the scalding liquid inside the cup, and the shape wicks the liquid up the sides of the device into the drinker’s mouth.
The Capillary Beverage investigation explored the process of drinking from specially designed containers that use fluid dynamics to mimic the effect of gravity. While fun, this study could provide information useful to engineers who design fuel tanks for commercial satellites!
The capillary beverage cup allows astronauts to drink much like they would on Earth. Rather than drinking from a shiny bag and straw, the cup allows the crew member to enjoy the aroma of the beverage they’re consuming.
On Earth, liquid is held in the cup by gravity. In microgravity, surface tension keeps the liquid stable in the container.
The ISSpresso machine brought the comforts of freshly-brewed coffees and teas to the space station. European astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti enjoyed the first cup of espresso brewed using the ISSpresso machine during Expedition 43.
Now, during Expedition 53, European astronaut Paolo Nespoli enjoys the same comforts.
Astronaut Kjell Lindgren celebrated National Coffee Day during Expedition 45 by brewing the first cup of hand brewed coffee in space.
We have a latte going on over on our Snapchat account, so give us a follow to stay up to date! Also be sure to follow @ISS_Research on Twitter for your daily dose of space station science.

Today the Department of Miniature Marvels is catching up on the latest tiny dioramas created in vintage jewelry and ring boxes by Canadian-Trinidadian artist Curtis Talwst Santiago (previously featured here) for his Infinity series.
“Each of the small works capture a narrative moment of enormous magnitude, encasing the story in a protected vessel meant to be passed on and displayed.”
Visit Curtis Talwst Santiago’s website to check out more of his miniature creations.

Cassini Mission: What’s Next?
It’s Friday, Sept. 15 and our Cassini mission has officially come to a spectacular end. The final signal from the spacecraft was received here on Earth at 7:55 a.m. EDT after a fateful plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere.
After losing contact with Earth, the spacecraft burned up like a meteor, becoming part of the planet itself.
Although bittersweet, Cassini’s triumphant end is the culmination of a nearly 20-year mission that overflowed with discoveries.
But, what happens now?
Mission Team and Data
Now that the spacecraft is gone, most of the team’s engineers are migrating to other planetary missions, where they will continue to contribute to the work we’re doing to explore our solar system and beyond.
Mission scientists will keep working for the coming years to ensure that we fully understand all of the data acquired during the mission’s Grand Finale. They will carefully calibrate and study all of this data so that it can be entered into the Planetary Data System. From there, it will be accessible to future scientists for years to come.
Even beyond that, the science data will continue to be worked on for decades, possibly more, depending on the research grants that are acquired.
Other team members, some who have spent most of their career working on the Cassini mission, will use this as an opportunity to retire.
Future Missions
In revealing that Enceladus has essentially all the ingredients needed for life, the mission energized a pivot to the exploration of “ocean worlds” that has been sweeping planetary science over the past couple of decades.
Jupiter’s moon Europa has been a prime target for future exploration, and many lessons during Cassini’s mission are being applied in planning our Europa Clipper mission, planned for launch in the 2020s.
The mission will orbit the giant planet, Jupiter, using gravitational assists from large moons to maneuver the spacecraft into repeated close encounters, much as Cassini has used the gravity of Titan to continually shape the spacecraft’s course.
In addition, many engineers and scientists from Cassini are serving on the new Europa Clipper mission and helping to shape its science investigations. For example, several members of the Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer team are developing an extremely sensitive, next-generation version of their instrument for flight on Europa Clipper. What Cassini has learned about flying through the plume of material spraying from Enceladus will be invaluable to Europa Clipper, should plume activity be confirmed on Europa.
In the decades following Cassini, scientists hope to return to the Saturn system to follow up on the mission’s many discoveries. Mission concepts under consideration include robotic explorers to drift on the methane seas of Titan and fly through the Enceladus plume to collect and analyze samples for signs of biology.
Atmospheric probes to all four of the outer planets have long been a priority for the science community, and the most recent recommendations from a group of planetary scientists shows interest in sending such a mission to Saturn. By directly sampling Saturn’s upper atmosphere during its last orbits and final plunge, Cassini is laying the groundwork for an potential Saturn atmospheric probe.
A variety of potential mission concepts are discussed in a recently completed study — including orbiters, flybys and probes that would dive into Uranus’ atmosphere to study its composition. Future missions to the ice giants might explore those worlds using an approach similar to Cassini’s mission.

Goodbye Cassini Sept. 15, 2017
After two decades in space, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has now come to the end of its remarkable journey of exploration. Operators have deliberately plunged Cassini into Saturn’s atmosphere to ensure her moons will remain pristine for future exploration. “Goodbye & thank you for everything you have given to us over the years Cassini”, “we will never forget you”.

Where people lost their lives and their sense of security
We must all rally today with the same mindset of those in the recovery effort: choosing to embrace the light rather than being drawn to the darkness.
It is not a day for people to disregard the efforts of the American people
and spread blatant lies and jokes about the matter.
If you are one of these people, shame on you.
Shame
On
You.
Moreover,
I strongly urge you to visit the memorial site.
Because..
When you get there, you are completely stunned.
Overcome.
By the sheer quietness there.
The desolateness.
All the names of those who lost their lives in innocence.
If you have a human backbone, you will not be cracking jokes then.
And you should not be now.
Stand in solidarity with all the victims: those who have lost their loved ones, those who have aided in the recovery effort and suffered psychologically, those who have died as a result of their aid in the event, and the victims themselves.
They deserve our grace, not our evil.
Never Forget
what it means to care
how we should treat our fellow Americans
and what it means to rally by them.
