Participants record scents, their strength, duration, emotional impact, and personal associations.McLean-MacKenzie turns this data into visual maps and cultural narratives. Since 2011, she has mapped smells in 40 locations worldwide.These include Glasgow, Paris, Kyiv, Kolkata, and Amsterdam. The maps capture fleeting moments rather than…

Researchers say parts of the Moon will be designated as spacecraft graveyards for defunct satellites.Lunar orbit is expected to become increasingly crowded as missions, bases, and satellite networks expand. Unlike Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to safely burn up old spacecraft.As a result, many satellites will need to be deliberately crashed into the surface. Scientists warn uncontrolled impacts could damage historic sites and sensitive instruments.Designated impact zones would limit debris and protect areas of scientific importance. More than 400 lunar missions are planned, including projects led by NASA and the European Space Agency.Space agencies are now working on international…
