Closed newspapers in Wyoming and South Dakota are saved as buyers swoop in
A dozen newspapers in Wyoming and South Dakota are set to publish again after buyers stepped in to keep the communities from becoming news deserts where little or no local media remains. This quick action is notable in an industry where, according to a 2024 report from the Medill School of Journalism, more than two newspapers close each week. Illinois-based News Media Corporation had announced the closure of 31 outlets in five states. Within two weeks, new buyers in Wyoming and North Carolina p…

At least 500 , maybe as many as 1,500 #NoKings protesters in Jackson Wyoming (I’m bad at estimating crowds).
Collette and I spent an hour while on vacation to let our voices be heard.
I didn’t have permission to post photos, but I was thrilled to see at least 5 protesters with American flags! It’s our flag too!

The firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics chief Erika McEntarfer, has alarmed members of Trump’s own party.
“If the president is firing the statistician because he doesn’t like the numbers but they are accurate, then that’s a problem,”
said Wyoming Republican senator Cynthia Lummis.
“It’s not the statistician’s fault if the numbers are accurate and that they’re not what the president had hoped for.”
Kentucky senator Rand Paul, another Republican, questioned whether Mc…

Isn't it time that the Palestinians are given a safe place to live, to escape potential annihilation? A country to call their own? There are some practically empty areas in the USA – think Wyoming, for instance. Wouldn't that be an idea?

Quantification of The Age Dependence of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
We combine James Webb Space Telescope images of the nearby galaxy NGC 5194 in the hydrogen recombination line Pa-alpha (lambda=1.8756 micron) from the Cycle 1 program JWST-FEAST with 21 micron dust continuum images from the Cycle 2 Treasury program JWGT to quantify the difference in the calibration of mid-infrared star formation rates (SFR) between HII regions and galaxies. We use the archival HST H-alpha image to correct the Pa-alpha emission for the effects of dust attenuation. Our data confi…

Solar storm has reached Earth, could bring auroras to U.S. South
A severe” solar storm
— rated a level 4 out of 5
— arrived on Earth earlier than NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center had forecast on Saturday.
Northern lights were visible as far south as New Mexico, and vivid displays were photographed in Wyoming, Utah and Washington state.

Before dawn, the aurora could even be detected in the Mid-Atlantic with a camera
— which is more sensitive to ligh…

Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph$-$Distant Quasar Survey: the Chandra View
We present Chandra observations of 63 sources from the Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph$-$Distant Quasar Survey (GNIRS-DQS) of which 54 were targeted by snapshot observations in Cycle 24. A total of 55 sources are clearly detected in at least one X-ray band, and we set stringent upper limits on the X-ray fluxes of the remaining eight sources. In combination with rest-frame ultraviolet-optical spectroscopic data for these sources, we assess whether X-rays can provide a robust accretion-rate ind…
