The drought in southern Australia is not over—it just looks that way
How often do you mow your lawn in winter? That may seem like an odd way to start a conversation about drought. But the answer helps explain why our current drought has not broken, despite recent rain—and why spring lamb may be more expensive this year.

BP backs out of 26 GW green hydrogen plan in Australia
Global oil giant BP has quit the proposed Australian Renewable Energy Hub that would include the installation of up to 26 GW of solar and wind generation, much of which would have been used to produce green hydrogen and ammonia.

My summer camp for rising 4th and 5th graders this week, “Coding in Minecraft - Mars Outpost Mission” is going great!

Apache Point Observatory follow-up of ACcelerating Candidate ExopLanet host Stars (APO ACCELS): Ages for 166 Accelerating Stars in the Northern Hemisphere
Directly imaged substellar companions with well-constrained ages and masses serve as vital empirical benchmarks for planet formation and evolution models. Potential benchmark companions can be identified from astrometric accelerations of their host stars. We use Gaia DR3 and Hipparcos astrometry to identify 166 northern hemisphere stars with astrometric accelerations consistent with a substellar companion between 0.5'' and 1''. For this accelerating sample we identify young stars using APO/ARCE…
