Скачать или смотреть Science News on Feb 20, 2026: NASA's Moon Rocket, Superbug Cure, & Ancient DNA Secrets

Today’s science news update for Feb 20, 2026, takes us from the launchpad of NASA's mega-rocket to a massive breakthrough in the fight against antibiotic resistance! 🚀🧬

We cover the successful wet dress rehearsal for NASA's Artemis II mission, paving the way for a lunar flyby. Plus, researchers use CRISPR to actively reverse antibiotic resistance in superbugs, and ancient DNA from a 5,500-year-old tomb reveals that Stone Age family structures were much more complex than we thought.
