And from watching the robot shapes and gathering data, Life and his collaborators developed a bunch of mathematical equations and published those findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Well, all body shapes can hula hoop, but some do have an easier time, you know, keeping that hula hoop up and spinning. And the one that appeared to work the best was the hourglass shape.

David Hu, an applied mathematician who did not work on this project, loves how this study teaches people to hula hoop better and thinks it would be an awesome opportunity to combine P.E. and math courses for kids.

We have our colleague Shondelise Duster to thank, who gathered data on all of the major missions of 2025. And there are a ton of exciting ones.

Both these missions are commercial missions, meaning they're spacecraft that are built by private companies, and they're trying to pull off moon landings. So it'll be exciting to see if they're successful. There's been a lot of recent history of commercial missions to the moon crashing or failing. And I am assuming these are uncrewed missions? Yeah, uncrewed.

If they land, these spacecraft will also collect some scientific data like lunar soil for testing or they'll take photos of the lunar sunset. And the resilience mission, too, is going to contain food production experiments and deep space radiation monitors. Wow.

Well, let's see. There's also a lot of updates we'll probably get from ongoing missions, like the PROBA-3 mission, which launched in December. It's trying to observe the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere. And the first results will probably be available in a few months.
