A special kind of kimchi has been cleared for a space mission this year.
The bacteria-free kimchi will blast off along with Korea's first astronaut. Top Korean scientists developed the kimchi. It was approved by Russian space authorities.
Instant noodles and cinnamon tea have also been approved for the mission due in April. The foods were all developed by the state-run food research body.

Kimchi usually contains bacteria which is healthy. But the bacteria becomes stronger in space and can be dangerous.
The state food research body is also developing other Korean foods for space crews.
The South Korean government has selected Ko San as the country's first astronaut. Ko is a 30-year-old computer science engineer. He'll travel into space on a Russian-made Soyuz rocket on April 8.
Ko will fly to the International Space Station. He'll stay there for up to eight days.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)
一種特製的泡菜確定今年將可隨太空任務升空。
這種無菌的泡菜將跟著韓國第一位太空人升空，這種泡菜由韓國頂尖的科學家研發而成，並經俄國太空總署核准。
泡麵和肉桂茶也通過核准，將一同在四月的任務中登上太空，這些食物都是由南韓食品研究所製造。
泡菜中通常含有益菌，但是細菌的毒性在外太空會增強並可能造成危害。
南韓食品研究所也為太空組員研發了其它韓國食品。
南韓政府選了高山（音譯）成為該國首位太空人，高今年三十歲，是一位電腦工程師，他將在四月八日搭乘俄國製「Soyuz號」太空船升空。
高將先搭機飛往國際太空站，最多在那裡待上八天。

Photographer Franziska Stuenkel likes to take spontaneous urban shots, so she needs a nimble camera that is ready to go when inspiration strikes: her German-made Leica M11. “I have to be very quick and discreet,” said the Berlin-based artist who captures reflections of people walking past windows, their contours merging with the shapes behind the glass. Stuenkel’s compact Leica is the perfect camera for the job, the 51-year-old told AFP. Famous for its pocket-sized and retro-style devices, the Leica brand is celebrating a milestone as it marks 100 years since its first commercial camera was presented to the public. The
Picture a 45-foot-long animal with a 5-foot-long skull and 3-foot-long arms. It may not seem strange until you realize that a human with those proportions would be 6 feet tall with 5-inch arms. Although the Tyrannosaurus rex went extinct 65 million years ago, the mystery of its unusual body __1__ has fascinated scientists for over a century. Barnum Brown, the paleontologist who first discovered T. rex fossils, initially found it hard to believe that the tiny arms belonged to such a __2__ creature. One of his colleagues speculated that the short forelimbs might have been used to hold the
As global travel rebounds following the COVID-19 pa ndemic, the longstanding issue of overtourism has returned stronger than ever. Throughout 2024, numerous popular destinations worldwide struggled with tourist numbers that far exceeded their infrastructural and environmental capacities. Not only does this surge congest streets and pollute landscapes, but it also endangers cultural sites and disrupts the daily lives of residents. In response to the growing problem of “overtourism,” various nations have adopted diverse strategies, some of which have sparked controversy. Venice, Italy, has not hesitated to take bold action; since 2024, the city has implemented one of the
Dogs’ noses are incredibly keen. They can even detect changes in cortisol levels in human sweat and breath. Known as the “stress hormone,” cortisol increases when humans are under pressure. Recent research indicates that the smell of human stress can influence a dog’s behavior and emotions. In the study, human volunteers were exposed to the stressful tasks of preparing and delivering a speech on the spot and then solving math problems. __1__ Researchers collected sweat and breath samples from the volunteers on pieces of cloth during both their stressful and restful states. Meanwhile, other researchers worked with 18
