The Harvard graduating students denied their degrees over Palestine protest
The decision by Harvard University to delay degrees for 13 students for one year has caused outrage.

Medical Schools Around the World Are Expanding Their ‘Climate Change Curriculums’ - Inside Climate News
Three years ago, a group of eco-conscious students at Harvard Medical School conducted a poll with their fellow classmates and found that there was strong interest in ramping up climate health education in their courses.  With support from faculty, the Students for Environmental Awareness in Medicine (SEAM) forged a path toward a full “climate change […]

The Black Hole Explorer: Preliminary Antenna Design
We present the basic design of a large, light weight, spaceborne antenna for the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) space Very Long Baseline Interferometry (space-VLBI) mission, achieving high efficiency operation at mm/sub-mm wavelengths. An introductory overview of the mission and its science background are provided. The BHEX mission targets fundamental black hole physics enabled by the detection of the finely structured image feature around black holes known as the photon ring, theoretically expecte…

In which the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams of the IAU dampens expectations for #comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS): http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005400/CBET005404.txt - the peak is now predicted to be 2.2 mag. at best, perhaps with some forward-scatter enhancement but OTOH when the elongation is small. Even another NEOWISE-style show later in October looks pretty doubtful now ... but then again comets are nearly always good for surprises, and positive ones, too. Like NEOWISE delivered in 2020, so stay tuned.

The Black Hole Explorer: Instrument System Overview
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a space very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission concept that is currently under development. BHEX will study supermassive black holes at unprecedented resolution, isolating the signature of the "photon ring" - light that has orbited the black hole before escaping - to probe physics at the edge of the observable universe. It will also measure black hole spins, study the energy extraction and acceleration mechanisms for black hole jets, and characterize …
