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.

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.

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…

41.7 kWh generation today, tied for March 31st as my highest output to date.

Got sent this email from the elderly convenor of a political group I sometimes sit with. Thank goodness I was alert and suspicious enough - his account had been hacked and this was an email spam that could have cost a lot of money. There was no "Dear Lilly", but they had signed off with his name at the end.

Countries heavily dependent on Middle Eastern energy—particularly in Asia—have been most affected.
India sources around 55 percent of its energy imports from the region,

South Korea 67 percent,
and Singapore 70 percent,
according to Ladekjær.
Around 1,000 ships remain in the Gulf,
including hundreds of tankers awaiting passage.
As of this writing, more than 800 cargo ships and tankers are stuck i…
