The rocket's upper stage dramatically broke up and disintegrated over the Caribbean after launching from Texas on Thursday, forcing airline flights to alter course to avoid falling debris.

Recent scientific advances and challenges include SpaceX's Starship explosion, Blue Origin's New Glenn launch, a scent to help find human remains, Australopithecus dietary findings, and a lavish bath uncovered in Pompeii.
