Airborne Microplastics May Be Warming the Planet

🚨Special Lecture! 🚨 Origin and Evolution of Early Solar System Organic Materials! Dr. John Eiler, Caltech.
Monday, April 27, 5:45 p.m. Central time. Zoom option available!
In honor of mass spectrometry giant, A.O. Nier, who taught and researched at U #Minnesota for decades.

2026 A.O.C. Nier lecture
Dr. John Eiler, Robert P. Sharp Professor of Geology and Geochemistry, and Ted and Ginger Jenkins Leadership Chair of Geological and Planetary Sciences, CaltechExploring the organic chemistry of the early solar system using molecular isotopic structureAbstractOrganic chemistry is ubiquitous across all extraterrestrial environments — stellar envelopes, nebulae and protoplanetary disks, the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) — and dominates the processing and delivery of volatiles to planetary…

In *Leviathan and the Air Pump*, S Shapin recounts the 1600s controversy between Hobbes, who held that true knowledge always originates in pure solipsistic reasoning (“ratiocination”) and Boyle, who argued that knowledge required external confirmation via physical evidence. We’re still at it.
Privileged psyches in particular hate giving up on the idea that what they conclude on their own, without checking it by the world, is true.

In lecture at Brown, Yann LeCun discusses a new approach to AI
No stranger to controversy, AI pioneer Yann LeCun told a capacity crowd that large language models are not the future of AI and that a new approach is needed if machines are to achieve human-like intelligence.

Species Slowdown: Is Nature’s Ability to Self-Repair Stalling?
When scientists recently analyzed hundreds of studies of ecosystems, they were surprised to see a marked slowing in the rate of species turnover. If new species don’t replace old ones, they say, ecosystems may have less flexibility to respond to habitat loss and climate change.

"For instance, the technology’s fast charging, high output and robust endurance suggest a good fit for storing excess electricity generated at solar farms during the daytime, to power the grid at night. It may also be useful for backup power at data centers.
“Because this technology could extend the lifetime of batteries to decades upon decades, it might be ideal for storing renewable energy or quickly taking over when power is lost,” El-Kady said. “This would remove worries about the changing cost of infrastructure.”

A nearly pristine #star from the Large Magellanic Cloud: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.21643 -> A class of undergraduate students at University of Chicago has used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to discover one of the oldest stars in the universe, a star that formed in a companion galaxy and migrated to the Milky Way: https://www.sdss.org/ancient-immigrant/ and https://carnegiescience.edu/found-most-pristine-star-universe

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."

A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View
Scientists have uncovered a "blind spot" in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.

As reported in http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005664.txt the main belt #asteroid (44) #Nysa is showing "an unusual, highly concave, possibly bilobate, shape" in #LBT images - and https://groups.io/g/mpml/message/41424 now adds that the observer describes the object on the so far unpublished pictures as a "freaky little space guy" ...

The #ArtemisII mission has quite an impact on ... the operation of the James Webb Space Telescope as #JWST operations plan currently assumes roughly a quarter of the usual #DeepSpaceNetwork (DSN) access will be available, which has a direct impact on the number of science visits that can be executed and the volume of data that can be downlinked."
