An asteroid that NASA used for target practice a few years ago
was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun,
findings that could help divert a future incoming killer space rock, scientists reported Friday.
It’s the first time that a celestial body’s orbit around the sun was deliberately changed.
The asteroid that NASA’s #Dart spacecraft slammed into was never a threat to Ea…

Spacecraft's impact changed asteroid's orbit around the sun in a save-the-Earth test, study finds
A new study has found that an asteroid NASA used for target practice a few years ago was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun. It's the first time that a celestial body's solar orbit was deliberately changed. Scientists reported Friday that the 2022 impact by the Dart spacecraft not only trimmed the asteroid's orbit around its bigger space rock companion, but also around the sun. Researchers say their findings could help divert an incoming killer space rock given enough advance…

"Like many, I never really lost the inner nine-year-old who rejoices at the sight of armed soldiers marching in lockstep"...maaaate, don't admit that on page 25!
Yes, you had the grace to admit you've never experienced war, but how the f*** do you expect readers to react?
Is this what comes of being published by a military history/games publisher (Osprey)? Insufficiently critical editing?
Is this a common sentiment? It's 100% not mine
I'm reading Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine by Mark Galeotti
I realise it was published in 2022 as Russia was invading Ukraine, but that sentence is even more distasteful now, in 2026

Penguins are breeding much earlier in a warming Antarctic, study finds
Penguins are dramatically shifting their breeding season as the Antarctic peninsula warms, a recent study finds. From 2012 to 2022, researchers used remote cameras to examine the timing of breeding for three penguin species across 37 colonies on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands. They tracked their ‘settlement date’: when the penguins began continuously occupying […]

After the Republican midterm disappointments of 2022,
Peter Thiel called for a party that could unite “the priest, the general, and the millionaire”
— a formula that reads, with hindsight, as a precise blueprint for Trump’s second administration:
Christian nationalism, military force deployed at home and abroad, and a financial oligarchy powerful enough to steer the state.
By the election of 2024, the gospel of nostalgia and the gospel of progress had concluded a shor…

The Rise of the Digital Oligarchy
AI has pushed society into a period of tumult and confusion. What comes next will determine if humanity remains the author of its own story.

Certaines dépenses, connues et récurrentes, n’avaient pas été budgétisées. Jusqu’en 2022, Pascal Broulis, avait l’habitude de ne pas inscrire dans le budget certains coûts, pourtant effectifs, mais de les placer dans des annexes associées aux risques, tenues secrètes aux yeux de la majorité des élus du Grand Conseil alors qu’ils auraient dû en être informés pour pouvoir voter le budget en toute connaissance de cause.
