Eclipse Mapping with Ariel: Future Prospects for a Population-Level Mapping Survey
Eclipse mapping is a powerful tool for measuring 3D profiles of exoplanet atmospheres. To date, only JWST has been capable of widely applying this technique, but as a general observatory, it is too time-limited to conduct population-level mapping studies. Ariel, on the other hand, is a dedicated exoplanet mission set to observe 1000 transiting exoplanets, making it a natural candidate for this. To assess Ariel's mapping potential, we quantitatively benchmark its abilities against those of JWST …

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made it clear that he’d prefer we all quit the term "AI Slop".
“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,”
Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the
“new equilibrium” of human nature.
Going on, Nadella said that we now know enough about
“riding the exponentials of model capabilities”
as well as managing AI’s
“‘jagged’ …

Microsoft CEO Begs Users to Stop Calling It “Slop”
In a year-end writeup on the state of AI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made it clear he'd really like us to stop saying "slop."

This photo raised some eyebrows (and some warnings) just before a total solar eclipse...
(I had real solar protection glasses underneath.)
My explanation was that the 3-D glasses let me see the back side of the moon.

On the existence of fibered three-dimensional perfect fluid equilibria without continuous Euclidean symmetry
Following Lortz, we construct a family of smooth steady states of the ideal, incompressible Euler equation in three dimensions that possess no continuous Euclidean symmetry. As in Lortz, they do possess a planar reflection symmetry and, as such, all the orbits of the velocity are closed. Different from Lortz, our construction has a discrete m-fold symmetry and is foliated by invariant cylindrical level sets of a non-degenerate Bernoulli pressure. Such examples narrow the scope of validity of Gr…

The Equilibrium Response of Atmospheric Machine-Learning Models to Uniform Sea Surface Temperature Warming
Machine learning models for the global atmosphere that are capable of producing stable, multi-year simulations of Earth's climate have recently been developed. However, the ability of these ML models to generalize beyond the training distribution remains an open question. In this study, we evaluate the climate response of several state-of-the-art ML models (ACE2-ERA5, NeuralGCM, and cBottle) to a uniform sea surface temperature warming, a widely used benchmark for evaluating climate change. We …

Eclipse preview for 2026.
Two lunar eclipses are on the way, along with a partial solar eclipse for much of Europe & North America.
And if you really like solar eclipses, you might want to relocate to Spain for the next couple years. 🧪🔭
Read about eclipses and more coming up in 2026 in Universe Today: www.universetoday.com

I was just 'on TV' at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnu0qr-Zous talking (in German) about the space year 2026 for an hour, first about the eclipses and planetary events, with many special graphics, then about the many more or less certain events in spaceflight.
