Some regions on the Sun stay active for months... and they may produce far more solar flares than expected. Using data from this citizen science project, researchers found these long-lived regions are 3–6× more likely to produce the Sun’s most powerful flares:

The International Space Station’s life support system is a recycling machine! ♻️ Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) uses waste products to generate oxygen, recover water, and clean air on the International Space Station. Without ECLSS, long duration missions would not be possible.
