It's time for action on the climate crisis. Physics can't be bargained with.

Hello to the SLIM moon mission and the Aditya solar mission.
OSIRIS-REx delivered its asteroid sample and has been re-tasked as OSIRIS-APEx to study the asteroid Apophis.

Just now: "There are no countries in Africa that start with the letter "K".
The closest is Kenya, which starts with a "K" sound."

If successful, India will be the fourth country to land on the Moon besides the US, the USSR, and China.
(China has had rovers on the Moon since 2013)

It shows galaxies we have observed that cluster together. The James Webb Space Telescope has seen even farther galaxies, but I haven't found a bigger map that includes them.

Computer simulation provides 4,000 scenarios for a climate turnaround (phys.org)

Using an extensive computer simulation of the climate, the global economy and the global energy system, researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have been analyzing different ways of mitigating climate change, together with colleagues from the US, China, Ireland, Finland and Sweden.

"It could be a close shave, because 70% of our scenarios predict that the world will exceed the 1.5°C mark in the next five years."

New study claims Betelgeuse could go supernova within decades (www.youtube.com)

Saio et al. created a model that simulated Betelgeuse’s pulsations and say it provides unique insight into the star’s internal status. The only way for Betelgeuse to pulsate in this way is if it is at the very end of its carbon burning period. That means the collapse of this star’s core and the accompanying supernova is...

Astronomers have a relatively easier path for discovering things than other scientists:
the Universe is BIG and it shines in many different wavelengths, so any time there is a more powerful telescope, or a new region of the EM spectrum to explore, it’s a good chance to discover new objects and give new nicknames.

What's the largest map of the local Universe? Here's the biggest I could find (1 billion light years), which includes the South Pole Wall.
