#Reuters 📆 June 8, 2023 #Astronauts 👩‍🚀 who traveled on the #ISS or #NASA #SpaceShuttles on missions lasting at least six months experienced significant #expansion of the cerebral ventricles - spaces 🕳️ in the middle of the brain containing cerebrospinal fluid. It took three years ⏳ for the ventricles to fully recover after such journeys https://www.reuters.com/science/scientists-document-how-space-travel-messes-with-human-brain-2023-06-08/

Gene expression was at about one third the normal levels while in #space, the study found. This occurred within the first few days in space, but then remained at a stable level.
Other documented effects of #SpaceTravel include #bone 🦴 and #muscle 💪 atrophy, #cardiovascular changes, issues with the balance system in the inner ear and a syndrome involving the #eyes 👁️. Cancer risk from greater #radiation exposure is another concern. https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/study-reveals-how-immune-system-astronauts-breaks-down-2023-06-22/

Meet Kalijon the Bornean Orangutan originally photographed at the Kansas City Zoo. I love his sweet eyes peering out at me, I just couldn't resist capturing this precious creature.

This male was decked out in all of his most beautiful colors of the season. Busy guy was exhausted, sleeping on the rail of a boardwalk over the wetlands in Florida. So tired he could barely open his eyes as I walked by just a couple feet away. But, those eyes, gorgeous!
