The James #Webb Space Telescope would probably not be your first choice for observing the large open #StarCluster of the #Pleiades but the authors of the paper "JWST imaging of the Pleiades: anisotropy of turbulence in the cold neutral medium" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.03672 - did it anyway, to study the turbulent energy cascade in the CNM the cluster happens to move through right now. Here is what they saw, with the NIRCam and the F335M filter - for the four cuts from the JWST pictures at the bottom in detail see fig. 2 of the paper.

Is diesel behind the US takeover of Venezuela?
Diesel is the main fuel used in road transport, mining and quarrying, and agriculture. Fuel oil is used in shipping but with the regulations of 2020 on sulphur emissions, it is closer to diesel in character and this in turn impacts on the scarcity of diesel.
The US has to import the crude oil to make diesel. Its own crude is too light
Venezuela's oil is very heavy.

in a raid that has further inflamed fears of federal interference in the upcoming midterm elections.

This is the second military operation of the Trump administration where he alluded to allegations concerning the 2020 election. He made similar comments on social media in January, days after Trump ordered the Delta Force “rendition” of Venezuela’s president Nicolšs Maduro. Trump reposted links that repeated discredited conspiracy allegations that Venezuela interfered in the 2020 election by controlling voting machines.
