Joining Whitson were astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary, each representing their country's debut ISS mission. The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, carrying the four-member team, parachuted into the calm waters off the Southern California coast. This marked the culmination of a fiery reentry and a 22-hour descent from orbit that ended around 2:30 a.m. PDT. In another significant development, Tel Aviv University researchers have revealed that plants may communicate acoustically with insects. Their study found that dehydrated tomato plants emit ultrasonic signals that female moths can detect, influencing their egg-laying decisions. ON:
