Hi everyone,
I’m very happy to announce that Aya (@…) will be joining our little team of volunteers at Gaza Verified¹ to help us carry out verification calls.
Aya is in Gaza herself with her family (she’s @…’s daugher) and s…

Help Aya go to university & help her family survive genocide in Gaza
my name is kat & i live in scotland. i've started this campaign for my friend, aya rizq, who lives with her mum & siblings in the rubble of a destroyed gaza. 

curtis sliwa has a new substack where he talks abt how listening to the chainsmokers healed his soul from the stress of campaigning against mamdani and cuomo, and ofc brings up the one cab story again for the millionth time

The new #Kreutz #comet discovered unusually early has been named C/2026 A1 (MAPS): #photosphere on 4 April and becoming a bright comet.

The new #Kreutz #comet is now C/2026 A1 (MAPS): http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005658.txt and #perihelion is highly uncertain but there is hope as https://www.facebook.com/groups/227002358661288/posts/1670699484291561 and https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/117373975#msg34667 explain. And if MAPS makes it to perihelion and is (very) bright then coronagraphs on the ground might be able to catch it against the inner corona as the following table - calculated with https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/ - shows.

Local non-governmental organizations who organize and help survivors on the worst day of their lives are the backbone of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery in California.
By joining together and creating a "Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters" ( #VOAD ) group,
they start to take steps to communicating, cooperating, collaborating and coordinating future response and rec…

So the new #Kreutz #comet #MAPS is *still* following the constant rapid rise in brightness it has shown since discovery: a dumb extrapolation - https://cobs.si/analysis/?comet=2688&from_date=2026-01-15 00:00&to_date=2026-04-30 00:00&observation_type=V&observation_type=C&plot_x_value=1&plot_y_value=1&fit_option=1&exclude_faint=on&exclude_issue=on&observer=&association=&country=&compare_values=compare - has it get 10,000-times brighter than the Sun at its extremely close perihelion which makes so sense at all, of course, physically.
"It must therefore be assumed that this increase in activity will level off significantly in the near future," writes https://fg-kometen.vdsastro.de/koj_2026/c2026a1/26a1eaus.htm: "More likely are parameters m m0=12.0 mag / n=4 (or even lower), which would still result in a (very short-term) maximum brightness of about –9 mag (but this would probably still be significantly too bright) – always assuming that the comet survives its perihelion passage unscathed."
For other views see http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005663.txt and https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17626 and https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10236580364221799 and https://cometografia.es/cometa-kreutz-2026-a1-maps-analisis/ - and the actual brightness is tracked at https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2688 where it has reached ~11.5 mag. now.
