Em seu segundo encontro com um asteroide, a sonda espacial Lucy da NASA observou de perto um fragmento de formato único de um asteroide que se formou há cerca de 150 milhões de anos. A sonda começou a enviar imagens coletadas enquanto voava a aproximadamente 960 km do asteroide Donaldjohanson em 20 de abril de 2025.O asteroide já havia sido observado apresentando grandes variações de brilho ao longo de um período de 10 dias, então algumas das expectativas da equipe de Lucy foram confirmadas quando as primeiras imagens mostraram o que parecia ser um binário de contato alongado (um objeto formado pela colisão de dois corpos menores). No entanto, a equipe ficou surpresa com o formato peculiar do pescoço estreito que conecta os dois lóbulos, que se assemelha a duas casquinhas de sorvete aninhadas.“O asteroide Donaldjohanson tem uma geologia extremamente complexa”, afirma Hal Levison, pesquisador principal de Lucy no Southwest Research Institute, em Boulder, Colorado. “À medida que estudamos as estruturas complexas em detalhes, elas revelarão informações importantes sobre os blocos de construção e os processos de colisão que formaram os planetas do nosso Sistema Solar.”A partir de uma análise preliminar das primeiras imagens disponíveis coletadas pelo gerador de imagens L'LORRI da sonda espacial, o asteroide parece ser maior do que o estimado originalmente, com cerca de 8 km de comprimento e 3,5 km de largura em seu ponto mais largo. Neste primeiro conjunto de imagens de alta resolução enviadas pela sonda espacial, o asteroide completo não é visível, pois é maior do que o campo de visão do gerador de imagens. A equipe levará até uma semana para baixar o restante dos dados do encontro da sonda espacial; esse conjunto de dados fornecerá uma imagem mais completa da forma geral do asteroide.Assim como Dinkinesh, o primeiro alvo de sobrevoo do asteroide Lucy, Donaldjohanson não é um alvo científico primário da missão Lucy. Conforme planejado, o sobrevoo de Dinkinesh foi um teste de sistema para a missão, enquanto este encontro foi um ensaio geral completo, no qual a equipe conduziu uma série de observações densas para maximizar a coleta de dados. Os dados coletados pelos outros instrumentos científicos do Lucy, o gerador de imagens coloridas e o espectrômetro infravermelho L'Ralph e o espectrômetro infravermelho térmico L'TES, serão recuperados e analisados ​​nas próximas semanas.A sonda Lucy passará a maior parte do restante de 2025 viajando pelo cinturão principal de asteroides. Lucy encontrará o primeiro alvo principal da missão, o asteroide troiano de Júpiter, Eurybates, em agosto de 2027.“Estas primeiras imagens de Donaldjohanson demonstram mais uma vez a tremenda capacidade da sonda Lucy como motor de descoberta”, disse Tom Statler, cientista do programa da missão Lucy na sede da NASA em Washington. “O potencial para realmente abrir uma nova janela para a história do nosso sistema solar quando Lucy chegar aos asteroides troianos é imenso.”

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 72, where we uncover the latest cosmic discoveries and scientific advancements.First, astronomers have discovered that a tiny moonlet orbiting the main belt asteroid Dinkinesh is actually two little moons melded together. Known as contact binaries, these moonlets could provide fresh insights into the complex processes behind planetary formation and evolution. We delve into the details of this fascinating discovery made by NASA's Lucy spacecraft.Next, we discuss the possibility of an underground ocean on Saturn's moon Mimas. Scientists speculate that as Mimas's orbital eccentricity decreased, its icy shell may have melted and thinned, leading to the formation of a subsurface ocean. This finding could have significant implications for our understanding of the Saturnian system.Finally, we highlight NASA's launch of its second pre-fire satellite into orbit aboard Rocket Lab's Electron rocket. These satellites are designed to study how much heat the Arctic and Antarctic are radiating out into space and how that's influencing global climates. We explore the mission's objectives and potential impact on climate science.Follow our cosmic conversations on X @stuartgary, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft visited a little asteroid called Dinkinesh last November. The visit, scientists say, unlocks a surprisingly interesting history of the asteroid along with its companion, Selam.NASA的露西号航天器去年十一月拜访了一个名为Dinkinesh的小行星。科学家们表示，这次拜访揭示了该小行星及其伴侣Selam的一个令人惊讶的有趣历史。Asteroids are ancient objects from the beginning of the solar system. They offer clues about how Earth and other planets formed about 4.5 billion years ago.小行星是太阳系形成初期的古老天体。它们提供了关于地球和其他行星在大约45亿年前如何形成的线索。The U.S. space agency launched Lucy in 2021 on a 12-year mission to study asteroids. The mission is especially interested in Jupiter's Trojan asteroids, two groups of space rocks that lead and follow the giant planet as it orbits the sun.美国航天局在2021年发射了露西号，执行一个为期12年的小行星研究任务。该任务特别关注木星的特洛伊小行星，这两组空间岩石在木星绕太阳运行时分别位于其前后。On the way, Lucy flew past Dinkinesh and Selam in the inner edge of the main asteroid belt. The spacecraft observed ridges, trough structures and other features on Dinkinesh.在途中，露西号飞过了主小行星带内缘的Dinkinesh和Selam。航天器观察到了Dinkinesh上的山脊、槽状结构和其他特征。Dinkinesh has a diameter of nearly 720 meters. Selam is made up of two similarly sized lobes, one about 230 meters wide and the other about 210 meters. Selam orbits Dinkinesh once about every 53 hours at a distance of about 3.1 kilometers.Dinkinesh的直径接近720米。Selam由两个大小相似的叶状体组成，一个约230米宽，另一个约210米宽。Selam以大约每53小时绕Dinkinesh一圈，距离约3.1公里。It appears, the researchers said, that a big piece of rock broke free sometime in the past from Dinkinesh. The rock was about a quarter its total size, creating a trough on its surface and sending debris into space. Some of this debris, they said, fell back onto Dinkinesh's surface to form a ridge structure.研究人员表示，过去某个时候，一大块岩石从Dinkinesh上脱落下来。该岩石约占其总大小的四分之一，形成了一个槽，并将碎片送入太空。他们说，其中一些碎片重新落回Dinkinesh的表面，形成了一个山脊结构。Other materials came together to form Selam, becoming what is called a contact-binary moonlet.其他材料聚集在一起形成了Selam，成为了所谓的接触双星小卫星。Katherine Kretke, from the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado, is a co-writer of the study published in Nature. She said that “a contact-binary is when it appears that a single body is composed of two objects that collided gently enough not to become disrupted.”来自科罗拉多州西南研究所的Katherine Kretke是发表在《自然》杂志上的这项研究的共同作者。她说，“接触双星是指看起来由两个相互碰撞且碰撞力度足够轻不会破碎的天体组成的单一天体。”Kretke said they are common in the solar system, but Selam was “the first time a contact-binary has been observed orbiting another asteroid.”Kretke表示，它们在太阳系中很常见，但Selam是“第一次观测到的绕着另一颗小行星运行的接触双星。”Simone Marchi is another co-writer of the study. He said, "A planet like Earth formed by the accumulation of countless small bodies. Understanding the properties of small asteroids such as Dinkinesh and Selam helps us to have a better picture of the earliest phases of planet formation.”Simone Marchi是该研究的另一位共同作者。他说：“像地球这样的行星是由无数小天体聚集形成的。了解像Dinkinesh和Selam这样的小行星的性质，有助于我们更好地了解行星形成的最初阶段。”NASA's spacecraft was named for the Ethiopian fossil of the extinct human relative Australopithecus called “Lucy.” That fossil has provided information about early human beings, much like asteroids provide knowledge of planetary formation.NASA的航天器以埃塞俄比亚发现的已灭绝人类亲属——南方古猿的化石“露西”命名。那块化石提供了关于早期人类的信息，正如小行星提供了行星形成的知识。Dinkinesh is the Ethiopian name for the Lucy fossil, meaning "you are marvelous" in the Amharic language. Selam, the Ethiopian name for another Australopithecus fossil, means "peace" in Amharic.Dinkinesh是露西化石的埃塞俄比亚名称，在阿姆哈拉语中意为“你真了不起”。Selam是另一个南方古猿化石的埃塞俄比亚名称，在阿姆哈拉语中意为“和平”。Lucy will next visit the asteroid Donaldjohanson in 2025 in the main asteroid belt. The spacecraft is expected to visit 11 asteroids in total.露西号下一次将在2025年拜访主小行星带中的小行星Donaldjohanson。预计该航天器将总共拜访11颗小行星。

Dinkinesh est un petit astéroïde en orbite autour du Soleil près du bord intérieur de la ceinture principale d'astéroïdes à une distance du Soleil de 2,19 UA. A partir des observations de la sonde Lucy à moins de 450 km de l'astéroïde, une équipe d'astrophysiciens révéle que Dinkinesh, qui a un diamètre effectif de seulement 720 m, est d'une complexité inattendue. Ils confirment la découverte d'un satellite binaire de contact (le premier du genre) autour de Dinkinesh. Il est maintenant nommé (152830) Dinkinesh I Selam. L'étude est parue dans Nature. sourceA contact binary satellite of the asteroid (152830) DinkineshH. Levison et al.Nature 629 (30 May 2024).https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07378-0

NASA's Lucy mission discovered a surprising moon of the small asteroid Dinkinesh on its way to the orbit of Jupiter. New studies of that moon, a contact binary, suggest it may have a surprisingly young age. Meanwhile, cosmologists continue to wrestle with various seemingly contradictory measurements. One model suggests a modification to that old Physics 1 standby, the gravitational constant (or is it?) G. Join us for all the astronomical news near and far, including space news updates and trivia.

How can college students who would like to work in the space industry and at NASA get their foot in the door? And what is the purpose of the Lucy mission to the Trojan Asteroids? To get the answers to both of these questions, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Freya Holloway, a NASA L'SPACE Lab Tech at ASU. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the latest, most accurate coloration of Neptune. It turns out, the rich, deep blue Neptune we've come to know and love was placed by scientists to increase contrast which are no longer necessary. And Neptune is now a much lighter tone of blue, more in line with the current, turquoise coloration of Uranus. And with that, we turn to the Lucy mission to investigate the “Trojan Asteroids” which share Jupiter's orbit around our sun. Lucy recently did a flyby of the asteroid Dinkinesh and its moon Selam, discovering that it actually not one asteroid but three distinct bodies. Freya Holloway is an ambassador for Lucy, and she explains the purpose of the flyby and brings us up to speed on where the mission is at. In December this year, Lucy will be making her second Earth gravity assist flyby to build up momentum to slingshot her towards Jupiter. And in April 2025, Lucy will encounter her second main belt asteroid, Donald Johanson. That asteroid is named for the paleontologist involved in the discovery of the Lucy fossil (the mission's namesake) in Ethiopia in the 1970s, and who has actually been involved in the current Lucy mission. Freya explains why the mission is aptly named. Trojan asteroids are fossils, astronomically speaking, and they may be able to teach us something about the birth and evolution of our solar system the same way that Lucy has taught us about early hominids and our own evolution. You'll learn all about this unique population of asteroids, which are far less familiar to most people than either the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. One group precedes Jupiter in its orbit around the sun and the other orbits behind, and both groups are relatively pristine and date back to the origins of our solar system. In this episode, we have a special set of questions for Freya that all come from students who attend Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island. First up, Isabella wants to know who Freya's favorite scientist is, and also, does she have a favorite song to listen to while studying. Freya tells us about Dr. Eugene Parker, the heliophysicist who predicted the existence of the solar wind and after whom the Parker Solar Probe and the “The Parker Instability” is named. For the second part, Freya listens to David Bowie's “Let's Dance” as a pick me up for long study sessions. For the first time in the history of The LIUniverse, Charles then brings up a second joyfully cool cosmic thing: the recent meteor (a bolide) that broke up over Germany whose pieces have been collected, many by students! It turns out that Freya collects meteorites, although none which she found on her own. Her favorite is the lunar meteorite she keeps on display at home. The next question from Notre Dame Academy comes from Caitlin Sweeney, who asks Freya, “What's the coolest thing about labs in college?” Freya describes how, compared to high school, labs in college are her favorite part of college and are much more interactive. Another Notre Dame Academy students asks, “What was the biggest challenge you overcame and how did you learn from it?” For Freya, that was finding her place in the academic and professional world. She tells the story of how in 2015, she was a single mom with two young children, one of whom was 8 and just diagnosed with leukemia who lost her job she loved in finance at the Columbus Ohio Zoo. She made the decision to show her children that no matter what life throws at us, we can still be who we want to be, and she enrolled in college and embarked on an entirely new direction. As a student, Freya applied for and went through the NASA L'SPACE Program (Lucy Student Pipeline Accelerator and Competency Enabler), a workforce development program that consists of two academies. In one, the Mission Concept Academy, students work as a team to complete a mission task. In the other academy, students will work as a team to introduce new technology ideas to NASA. NASA chooses a winner each semester and gives them a $10,000 seed fund to develop the idea. After completing the Academies, Freya became an intern on the Lucy mission. She began as a Lucy ambassador, and then came back to serve as an outreach mentor and a student success advisor. If you're a student of at least 18 years of age and enrolled in a US college or university and you'd like to learn more about NASA's L'SPACE Program, visit their website at lspace.asu.edu. You can follow them on Instagram @l_spaceprogram, where Freya helps manage the account, or at NASA L'SPACE Program on LinkedIn and Facebook.

When humanity heads out for the stars, what will be powering our spacecraft? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome father and daughter team Franklin Chang-Diaz, NASA astronaut and founder of the Ad Astra Rocket Company™, and Miranda Chang, Ad Astra's Global Communications Director for Part 1 of this two-part episode. (We'll be posting Part 2 next Saturday!) As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing. Lucy, the robotic NASA mission to the asteroid belt, just passed by its first asteroid Dinkinesh (which has been given the Ethiopian (Amharic) name for the human-ancestor fossil known as Lucy and means “You are marvelous”!). As it did so, it discovered Dinkinesh is actually a double asteroid, in that it has its own orbiting moon, Selam, but that's not all: Selam is a contact binary, meaning it's actually two distinct bodies touching each other but not connected. Next, we turn from discovering asteroids to visiting them, and that's where Franklin and Miranda come in. Franklin spent 25 years at NASA. He was one of the ninth group of astronauts, the class of 1980, and flew 7 missions in space, the most spaceflights anyone has taken to date. An astronautic jack-of-all-trades engineer, physicist and more who describes himself as a “glorified plumber/electrician”), Franklin flew on each of the Space Shuttles except the Challenger, visited the Soviet space station Mir, took 3 spacewalks and even helped build the International Space Station. Miranda tells us about Ad Astra's flagship program, the VX-200 VASIMIR engine (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket), a new type of high-power, electric in-space propulsion. They're vastly more powerful (compare a hair dryer to a diesel engine) and more efficient than existing ion propulsion systems. We jump right into audience questions with one from Mohammed, who asks, “Engineering is problem solving. What happens when you can't solve the problem?” According to Franklin, “In space, you work the problem until you find a solution and you never stop...eventually, you have to find something.” Miranda adds, “The whole idea of engineers is that there is never “no solution”...The are always working to find a solution...every time I think we're don, there is no solution for that, they have like three...” Franklin also takes on the NASA mantra, “Failure is not an option.” In his experiences, “Failure is how you learn.... giving up is not an option.” You'll also hear about Miranda's role and how creative storytelling is a critical aspect of helping people understand the complex technical realities of space exploration and the advanced propulsion systems and orbital mechanics Ad Astra deals with. Miranda explains how Franklin got into the science of propulsion, and how he had started working on the VASOMIR engine even before he joined NASA. He was an engineer who spent a lot of time in the physics laboratory, and he came from Costa Rica specifically to become an astronaut during the burgeoning interest in space exploration during the period of the Apollo program. That's it for Part 1. Please tune in next Saturday for the conclusion. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

In Folge 91 schauen wir zuerst auf Doppelasteroiden und die ersten Bilder von Euclid. Danach erzählt Ruth von neuen Erkenntnissen über die “Geistergalaxie”, die voller dunkler Materie ist, bei der es sich aber um “flauschige Materie” handeln könnte. Und in der Hauptgeschichte geht es um die Beobachtungen des James-Webb-Teleskops, die angeblich zeigen, dass der Urknall nicht so stattgefunden haben kann, wie wir dachten. Ist aber nicht so. Neue Untersuchungen zeigen klar: Der Urknall war kein Fehler! Evi erzählt vom Film “Moon”, von Bergbau auf dem Mond und der Kernfusion auf der Erde. Außerdem: Wir zünden Jupiter an, klettern auf den Olymps Mons und haben keine Ahnung von Jugendwörtern.

La nave espacial Lucy pasó cerca del pequeño asteroide Dinkinesh, ubicado en el cinturón de asteroides principal de nuestro sistema solar, entre las órbitas de Marte y Júpiter. Pero lo que los astrónomos pensaban que era un asteroide es en realidad un par binario de rocas espaciales. Hal Levison, investigador principal de Lucy en el Southwest Research Institute, dijo que Dinkinesh, que significa "maravilloso" en el idioma amárico de Etiopía, "realmente hizo honor a su nombre". "Esto es maravilloso", dijo Levison en un comunicado. “Cuando Lucy fue seleccionada originalmente para volar, planeamos volar sobre siete asteroides. Con la incorporación de Dinkinesh, dos lunas troyanas y ahora este satélite, lo hemos elevado a 11”.

Die NASA-Sonde "Lucy" flog erfolgreich am Asteroiden "Dinkinesh" vorbei. Was sich das an der Mission beteiligte Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt davon verspricht, erklärt Asteroiden-Spezialist Stefano Mottola im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Stefan Eich.

Die NASA-Sonde Lucy ist auf einer spektakulären Mission: Bis 2033 soll sie die Jupiter-Trojaner untersuchen – Asteroiden, die auf derselben Bahn wie Jupiter die Sonne umkreisen. Auf dem Weg dahin hat Lucy jetzt ihren ersten Test-Asteroiden besucht: Dinkinesh. Ralf Caspary im Gespräch mit Ute Spangenberger, SWR-Wissenschaftsredaktion

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 2 at 6:40 a.m. CT: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — President Joe Biden says he thinks there should be a humanitarian “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war. Biden was talking to a roomful of supporters gathered in Minneapolis for a reelection fundraiser when he was interrupted by a protester calling for a cease-fire. The call for a pause was a subtle departure for Biden and top White House aides. Throughout the Mideast crisis they have been steadfast in stating they would not dictate how the Israelis carry out their military operations in response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants. NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. has testified that he never worked on his father's business financial statements. He was questioned Wednesday in court about the documents that now are at the heart of the civil fraud trial that threatens former President Donald Trump's real estate empire. The lawsuit filed by New York state's attorney general centers on whether the former president and his business misled banks and insurers by inflating his net worth on the financial statements. The Trumps deny wrongdoing. PARIS (AP) — Winds up to 180 kilometers per hour (108 mph) have slammed the French Atlantic coast as Storm Ciaran lashes western Europe. The storm blew out windows overnight and left 1.2 million French households without electricity on Thursday. A truck driver was killed when a tree hit his vehicle in northern France. Strong winds and rain also battered southern England and the Channel Islands, where gusts of more than 160 kph (100 mph) were reported. Hundreds of schools stayed closed in the coastal communities of Cornwall and Devon. Dutch airline KLM scrapped all flights in and out of the Netherlands from the early afternoon until the end of the day, RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva says armed forces will boost security at some of the country's most important airports, ports and along its international borders to tackle organized crime. The decision comes days after members of a criminal gang set fire to dozens of buses in Rio de Janeiro, apparently in retaliation for the police killing their leader's nephew. The deployment is part of a broader plan that includes increasing the number of federal police forces in Rio, improving cooperation between law enforcement entities and boosting investment in technology for intelligence gathering. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA's Lucy spacecraft has encountered the first of 10 asteroids on its long journey out to Jupiter. The spacecraft on Wednesday zoomed past the pint-sized Dinkinesh in the main asteroid belt beyond Mars. Lucy came within 270 miles of the asteroid, testing its instruments in a dry run for the bigger and more alluring asteroids ahead. The asteroid is just a half-mile across, quite possibly the smallest of the space rocks on Lucy's tour. Wednesday's flyby caps what NASA is calling Asteroid Autumn. NASA returned its first asteroid samples in September. Then in October, it launched a spacecraft to a metal-rich asteroid named Psyche. WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. George Santos has easily survived a vote to expel him from the House as most Republicans opted to withhold punishment as both his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed. The effort to kick Santos out of the House was led by his fellow New York Republicans, who are anxious to distance themselves from a colleague infamous for fabricating his life story and accused of stealing from donors, lying to Congress and receiving unemployment benefits he did not deserve. But the vast majority of Republicans and more than 30 Democrats have voted against expelling Santos. The final vote was 179 for expulsion and 213 against. The Major League Baseball season comes to an end as the Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamonds in five games. Legendary college basketball coach Bobby Knight died. There was also a lot of NBA action and a couple of rookie quarterbacks will start in the NFL's Week 9. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The death of American hockey player Adam Johnson from a skate blade to the neck has led officials in the NHL and other leagues to continue discussions about cut-resistant protection. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Players' Association executive director Marty Walsh have already touched base. More talks are planned between the league and union on the topic of skate blade safety. The American Hockey League and ECHL last summer mandated cut-resistant wrist and foot and ankle protection. At least one minor league team is mandating neck guards immediately in response to Johnson's death. On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve kept its key short-term interest rate unchanged for a second straight time but left the door open to further rate hikes if inflation pressures should accelerate in the months ahead. The Fed said in a statement after its latest meeting that it would keep its benchmark rate at about 5.4%, its highest level in 22 years. Since launching the most aggressive series of rate hikes in four decades in March 2022 to fight inflation, the Fed has pulled back and has now raised rates only once since May. The statement noted that recent tumult in the financial markets has sent longer-term interest rates up to near 16-year highs and contributed to higher borrowing rates across the economy. RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — After more than three weeks of siege, the first Palestinians were allowed to leave Gaza. They were hundreds of dual passport holders and dozens of seriously injured people. Israeli airstrikes pounded a densely populated area for the second day in a row. And Jordan, a key U.S. ally, recalled its ambassador from Israel. Jordan also told Israel's ambassador to remain out of its country in protest over the “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. has taken the witness stand at the civil fraud trial over whether his father overstated his wealth to banks and insurers. The former president's eldest son began testifying Wednesday. His testimony is kicking off a blockbuster stretch as the trial in New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit enters its second month. She says Donald Trump, his company and top executives, including Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric, overstated his wealth to banks and insurers. The Trumps deny wrongdoing and are fighting to keep their Trump Organization intact. WASHINGTON (AP) — The mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York are pressing to meet with President Joe Biden about the migrants arriving in their cities. The Democratic leader want to discuss getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving with little to no coordination, support or resources from the president's administration. The Democratic leaders say in a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday that while they appreciate Biden's efforts so far, much more needs to be done to ease the burden on their cities. Biden is increasingly under fire on this issue from members of his own party. And Republicans claim he's soft on border security. Prosecutors have dropped charges against a Louisiana state trooper accused of withholding graphic body-camera footage that shows another officer dragging Black motorist Ronald Greene by his ankle shackles during his deadly 2019 arrest. A district attorney said this week that Lt. John Clary has agreed to take the stand in the trial of Master Trooper Kory York, a former colleague charged with negligent homicide in the case. York is accused of forcing the heavyset Greene to lie facedown and handcuffed for more than nine minutes. Use-of-force experts said that likely restricted Greene's breathing. AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A murder trial in Texas is underway in the fatal shooting of pro cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson. Kaitlin Armstrong faces up to 99 years in prison in the May 2022 slaying. Prosecutors told jurors Wednesday that the last thing Wilson did was “scream in terror.” Armstrong has pleaded not guilty. In a short opening statement, defense attorney Geoffrey Puryear said Armstrong was caught in a “web of circumstantial evidence.” Police have said Wilson previously dated Armstrong's boyfriend, Colin Strickland, and had gone swimming with him that day. Strickland and Wilson were both competitive gravel racers. Wilson was a 25-year-old Vermont native who was also a mountain bike racer. Former President Donald Trump is fighting to stay on the 2024 ballot in Colorado and Michigan. Section Three of the 14th Amendment bars anyone who “engaged in insurrection” against the Constitution from holding higher office. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has signaled that it would rule against a man who wants to trademark the suggestive phrase “Trump too small.” The dispute is over the government's decision to deny a trademark to Steve Elster, a California man seeking exclusive use of the phrase on T-shirts and potentially other merchandise. It is the latest case relating to former President Donald Trump to reach the Supreme Court, following arguments Tuesday in social media cases with echoes of Trump. The justices repeatedly invoked the phrase Wednesday as they questioned whether the government was justified in denying the trademark. Elster's lawyers argue that the decision violated his free speech rights, and a federal appeals court agreed. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden's administration is privately developing a national strategy to combat Islamophobia. That word comes from three people familiar with the matter. But the effort is being met with skepticism from many Muslim Americans because of the administration's staunch support of Israel's military assault in Gaza. The White House originally was expected to announce its plans to develop the strategy when Biden met last week with Muslim leaders. The people familiar with the matter said the delay was due partly to concerns from Muslim Americans that the administration lacked credibility on the issue given its robust backing of Israel's military. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the White House plans. NEW YORK (AP) — An 80-foot-tall (24-meter) Norway spruce from the Binghamton area has been selected as this year's Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and will be cut down and trucked to New York City next week. Rockefeller Center officials say the tree will be cut on Nov. 9 in Vestal, New York, and will arrive at Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan on Nov. 11. After it's wrapped in more than 50,000 lights and crowned with a star, the tree will be lighted during a live television broadcast on Nov. 29. It will be on display until Jan. 13, 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El primer asteroide visitado por la misión Lucy de la NASA ya tiene nombre. La Unión Astronómica Internacional aprobó el nombre (152830) Dinkinesh para el pequeño asteroide del cinturón principal que la nave espacial Lucy encontrará el 1 de noviembre de 2023. "Dinkinesh", o ድንቅነሽ en amárico, es el nombre etíope para el fósil del ancestro humano, también conocida como Lucy, que fue encontrada en ese país y actualmente curada allí. Dinkinesh significa "eres maravilloso" en amárico.

Apparently, the mission was named after Lucy, AL 288-1, a collection of several hundred pieces of fossilized bone representing 40 percent of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus afarensis. In Ethiopia, the assembly is also known as Dinkinesh, which means "you are marvelous" in the Amharic language. Lucy was discovered in 1974 in Africa, at Hadar, a site in the Awash Valley of the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia, by the paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History Lucy's solar panels not nominal.  Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/update-on-lucy-panels-generating-more-than-90-of-expected-power/
