If stars had trophy cases, Vega’s would be packed. The leading light of Lyra was the first star other than the Sun to have its picture taken, the first to have its spectrum taken, and the first with a published measurement of its distance. Vega is impressive in many ways. It’s more than twice the size and mass of the Sun, and about 50 times the Sun’s brightness. It’s encircled by a wide belt of dust, produced by collisions between big chunks of ice and rock. In about 12,000 years, it’ll serve as the Pole Star. And in about 200,000 years it’ll become the brightest star in the night sky. Vega first had its picture taken in 1850. In 1872, an astronomer took a picture of its spectrum, spreading its light into its individual wavelengths. A spectrum reveals a star’s composition, motion, and much more. In 1838, Russian astronomer Friedrich von Struve published Vega’s parallax – the first publication for any star. He plotted its position when Earth was on opposite sides of the Sun. That revealed a tiny shift against the background of more-distant objects. That shift revealed a distance of about 26 light-years – just one light-year off the modern measurement. Vega is low in the east-northeast at nightfall and climbs high overhead during the night. It’s the fifth-brightest star in the night sky, so you can’t miss it – a beautiful star with a case full of trophies. Script by Damond Benningfield

Spies In My Blood: A Polish Family's Secret Fight Against Nazis & Communists (Polestar-Media, 2025) is the true story of two brothers raised in New York by WWII exiles and their journey to Poland. Each takes a different path to infiltrate the Communist secret police on a mission to uncover the truth about their family of soldiers, spies, and assassins. Which brother would go into the family business?Alex Storozynski was the first in his family born in the United States, a new leaf on the family tree. When he set out to find his roots in Poland during the Cold War, his Mama stitched secret pockets into boxer shorts where he could hide his cash, passport, and important documents. Before he left to go behind the Iron Curtain, his mother warned him: “Be careful of your brother's friends.” His big brother George, a banker, told him, “Mama doesn't want you to go into the family business.”As an aspiring journalist, Storozynski interviewed Polish rock stars, filmmakers, and artists fighting censorship. He navigated the black market and learned to thrive in the surreal and repressive system. He persuaded the Communist government to give him a scholarship to write a doctoral dissertation about the most hated man in Poland, the military regime's press spokesman, Jerzy Urban. But he asked too many questions.Storozynski attended Urban's press conferences with American journalists and met underground Solidarity activists trying to overthrow the government. He translated interviews with opposition leaders like Lech Wałesa for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Boston Globe.There's a Polish saying, “You can't fool your genes; it's in your blood.” The Communist secret police (SB) stole Storozynski's visa and interrogated him. When Senator Ted Kennedy arrived in Warsaw to give The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award to Adam Michnik and the parents of martyred opposition priest Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, Storozynski spent time with the Kennedy clan and taught them to sing Sto Lat (May He Live 100 Years) to the opposition.The SB had enough. After investigating Alex Storozynski, they wrote: “The findings in the case show that he is familiar with the working methods of special services.” Storozynski was declared an “enemy of the state” and banned from Communist Poland.This is the true story of Alex Storozynski's quest to uncover the nitty-gritty of three generations of spies in his blood.Winston Churchill's words serve as a stark warning: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” With the Russian Army again trying to move the border between East and Western Europe, the dormant Cold War has reignited a hot war. Russia's invasion of sovereign nations and killing of Ukrainians is a grim reminder of the need to avoid repeating history. Motorized terror squads are once again murdering Jews, and civilian bombing deaths are written off as collateral damage. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Alex Storozynski is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, award-winning author, filmmaker, songwriter, and President Emeritus & Chairman of the Board of The Kosciuszko Foundation.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

Nu sker der noget i elbilernes lavprisklasse – og det sker med et brag. Citroën og Opel har netop lanceret to nye elbiler, der ikke bare fås fra 200.000 kr., men som samtidig byder på overraskende meget plads. Hvor man tidligere måtte nøjes med små og kompakte elbiler til den pris, kommer der nu modeller med rummelig kabine, hæderligt bagagerum og komfort – som gør dem egnede til familielivet. De to biler – Citroën ë-C3 og Opel Frontera Electric – deler teknik, men adskiller sig på design og detaljer. I denne uges Bilradio tager Christian Schacht og Jan Lang temperaturen på de nye elbiler og vurderer, om det endelig er lykkedes at kombinere lav pris med ægte anvendelighed. Du får også alt det nyeste fra bilverdenen: Jeep Compass EV præsenteret: Tre versioner, op til 650 km rækkevidde og ægte terrænprofil Mercedes bekræfter elektrisk GLC – vises i München, dansk lancering ved årsskiftet Kritikpunkt ved ny Mercedes CLA: Kan ikke lade på 400V-hurtigladere – teknologisk satsning med bagside Polestar runder 10.000 biler i Danmark – eksplosiv vækst og nye modeller på vej Årets Brugtbil gennem 20 år – hvilke vindere husker vi, og hvilke holder stadig i dag?

"To reach these simple, remarkable ideas is sometimes also a bit of luck. In the process, you find something you can't really imagine." - Bjorn KussofskyIn this episode, Radim Malinic interviews Bjorn Kussofsky, founder of Stockholm Design Lab. Bjorn shares his journey from aspiring pop star to renowned designer, including the pivotal moment when Andy Warhol designed a record sleeve for his band. This experience influenced his decision to pursue design instead of music. Established in 1998, Stockholm Design Lab was founded with the vision of creating a multidisciplinary design company that could handle holistic branding. The studio now employs about 25 people and works with international clients on design and branding projects. Throughout the conversation, Bjorn emphasizes their philosophy of creating "simple, remarkable ideas" by reducing clutter and focusing on context. He discusses how they strive to create designs that stand the test of time, acknowledging that reaching simplicity requires both process and luck. Bjorn reflects on Scandinavian simplicity, noting that when it's truly effective, it goes beyond style to reveal the essence of something, often born from necessity and resource constraints. Despite growing his company, Bjorn remains deeply involved in the creative work rather than focusing on business aspects. The conversation explores notable projects including Polestar and the recent Sigma rebrand, showcasing how Stockholm Design Lab's approach to simplicity creates distinctive brand identities that resonate in cluttered marketplaces.Key takeaways:Staying relevant is crucial for design companies - creating impactful work in the present rather than relying on past achievementsThe philosophy of "simple, remarkable ideas" drives Stockholm Design Lab's approach to designFinding uniqueness in design is challenging - often it's the context that makes something feel newGreat design comes from a combination of strategic process and serendipitous discoveryEffective Scandinavian simplicity goes beyond aesthetics to truth - stripping away clutter to reveal essenceBjorn values finding and employing talented people as one of the most rewarding aspects of running a studioLogos should never be judged in isolation - they must be evaluated as part of a comprehensive brand systemPhysical artifacts like books serve as important time capsules for preserving design legacyLongevity is a measure of success in design - creating work that remains relevant for decadesThe Polestar project demonstrates how simplicity can create powerful differentiation in a cluttered marketplace Mindful Creative: How to understand and deal with the highs and lows of creative life, career and business Paperback and Kindle > https://amzn.to/4biTwFcFree audiobook (with Audible trial) > https://geni.us/free-audiobookSigned books https://novemberuniverse.co.ukLux Coffee Co. https://luxcoffee.co.uk/ (Use: PODCAST for 15% off)November Universe https://novemberuniverse.co.uk (Use: PODCAST for 10% off)
In this episode, Eric sits down with Åsa Borg, the Chief Marketing & Commercial Operations Officer at Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand that's challenging the automotive industry. Since launching in 2017, Polestar has rapidly expanded to 27 markets globally with their lineup of electric vehicles. Åsa brings her wealth of experience from 20 years at Volvo Cars to this challenger brand, offering unique insights on the difference between marketing for an established brand versus building one from scratch.One of the key takeaways from this conversation is how Polestar approached sustainability—making it core to their brand identity rather than just a marketing message. Åsa shares that transparency is a fundamental value for Polestar, especially in an industry that has historically hidden its environmental impact. We also dive into their decision to bring creative and media capabilities in-house, which has allowed for greater consistency, speed, and control over their brand expression across all 27 markets. Another fascinating aspect of our discussion explores how AI is being integrated into their marketing operations, from improving translation to maintaining brand tonality across markets. If you're interested in automotive marketing, sustainability branding, or building in-house creative capabilities, this episode is packed with valuable insights!Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/fSEW2Vl2Sf8

The stars Kochab and Pherkad serve several roles. They’re part of the body of Ursa Minor, the little bear. They form the outer edge of the bowl of the Little Dipper. And they’re “guardians of the pole” – they circle around Polaris, the star that marks the north celestial pole. Both stars are giants – they’ve puffed up at the end of the prime phase of life. Kochab is about 50 times the Sun’s diameter, and 450 times its brightness. Pherkad looks fainter than Kochab, but only because it’s almost four times farther. In reality, it’s more than twice as bright. The stars are so big and bright because they’ve exhausted their original supply of nuclear fuel. That’s triggered changes in the cores of the stars that have caused them to puff up. In ages past, both stars were much closer to the pole than they are today. In fact, Kochab was the closest bright star to the pole for a millennium. It was the best pole star about 3100 years ago. But it wasn’t nearly as good a marker as Polaris – it never got closer than about seven degrees, which is almost the width of a fist held at arm’s length. Thanks to an effect called precession, it’s moved away from the pole. So Kochab and Pherkad serve as guardians of the pole. The stars stand to the right of Polaris at nightfall, and wheel high above the Pole Star later on. Kochab is the second-brightest star of the little bear, shining just a touch fainter than Polaris.

Esse ser inte bara dubbelt, det är 4 av allt nu - iallafall elbilar! World car of the year har presenterats och det finns elbilsnyheter i detta som duon tar upp. Subaru är på gång igen.. typ och vad är det mitt öga ser? En kombi? En icke-kombi-fast-ändå-kombi-tydligen är nya Zeekr 7GT som nu kommer till Europa. Esse börjar tröttna på mellansuvar men vad ska vi åka istället? EQE SUV kanske som han kört en tid eller Polestar 3 som han kör nu? Kanske EX90 som Gullin kört.. Man kan nästan tro att elbilar för miljonen växer på träd, tur då att Hyundai Inster finns.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1017: Today we talk Polestar's bold Tesla takedown with a $20K lease play, Jeff Bezos' stealthy new EV startup with big aspirations, and GM's pause on BrightDrop van production despite rock-bottom pricing.Show Notes with links:A secretive EV startup based in Michigan is gaining attention fast. Funded by Jeff Bezos and stocked with talent from Ford, GM, Harley-Davidson, and Stellantis, Slate Auto is taking a bold swing at building a $25,000 electric pickup.Founded in 2022 via Re:Build Manufacturing, Slate has already raised over $100 million and closed a Series B round.The company is targeting late 2026 production near Indianapolis, building a minimalist two-seat pickup truck.Slate's strategy flips the usual EV script—start affordable and scale with accessories, not luxury trims.Its product roadmap includes personalization, merchandise, and “Slate University” for customer-led upgrades.“We built it. You make it,” is the company's trademarked mission to empower buyers with customization.Polestar is going big to lure Tesla owners, offering a jaw-dropping $20,000 incentive for drivers to lease the new Polestar 3 luxury EV crossover—an offer good through the end of March.The deal includes a $15,000 “Clean Vehicle Incentive” plus a $5,000 “Conquest Bonus” for current Tesla owners.The offer applies only to leased 2025 Polestar 3s; delivery must be taken from existing inventory before March 31.The Polestar 3 is sleek, spacious, and built in South Carolina with top-tier tech and sustainable materials.Performance specs include up to 517 hp, a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds, and up to 350 miles of range.The Polestar offer says: “The Polestar 3 offers more comfort, tech, and style than the aging Model Y,”GM is hitting the brakes on production of its all-electric BrightDrop van at its Ontario facility due to soft demand—despite deep discounts and compelling incentives that still make it a standout EV deal.Production at CAMI Assembly will pause April 14 and remain idle until October 2025 for retooling.The move affects nearly 500 workers and drops the plant to a single shift post-relaunch.Only 274 BrightDrop vans were sold in Q1 2025—a modest 7% increase year-over-year.The announcement follows market jitters caused by Trump's tariff threats and broader EV hesitations.“It's a crushing blow to hundreds of working families in Ingersoll,” said Unifor President Lana Payne.Join hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona and the 2025 Polestar 3 Launch Edition are two of the quickest vehicles we've ever road-tested. Their sizzling 0-60-mile-per-hour times might also set your hair on fire. Yet, as quick as those two battery-electrics and as technologically savvy as they are, they are very different. That's what co-host Matt DeLorenzo and host Jack Nerad discovered as they tested the two vehicles this week. The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona is a bold, all-electric muscle car featuring a sleek, aerodynamic design and cutting-edge technology. Built on Dodge's new STLA Large platform, it delivers up to 670 horsepower in its top performance trim, which allows the Daytona to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just about 3 seconds. That heart-stopping go-power places it among the quickest modern performance cars. Its most controversial feature is the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust that delivers ersatz muscle car sounds, which thrilled one of our hosts and turned off the other. The 2025 Polestar 3 Launch Edition aims to redefine the luxury electric SUV with its minimalist Scandinavian styling, 489 horsepower, 620 lb-ft of torque, and all-wheel drive. Despite weighing over 5,000 pounds, it manages a brisk 0–60 mph time of about 4.5 seconds, helped by active air suspension and torque vectoring. Inside, it offers premium touches like ventilated Nappa leather seats, a panoramic glass roof, a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and a slick Android Automotive OS with Google built-in. But is its reliance on the large 14.5-inch touchscreen for most functions distracting? Is its $88,100 price with options just too high? And will it be the victim of Chinese tariffs? Matt and Jack will have the answers. We have two great guests for you this week. Danielle Livingston is a marketing expert, and Jake Robin is a product expert on the brand-new Toyota 4Runner. Jack Nerad had a chance to chat with them recently about that very cool new SUV, so we're sure you'll enjoy what they have to say. We have an EV expert with us this week, so it's appropriate that we look at the current state of EVs in the United States and where the market might be headed. J.D. Power's E-Vision report is the source of our conversation starters. Of course, tariffs in the auto industry continue to grab headlines. Again this week, with veteran industry reporter Matt DeLorenzo aboard, we'll tell you what is real and what is hype and give you thoughts on how you should proceed if you're planning to buy a car. So we have tons of show for you this week. Jack Nerad's newest book Jack is now offering his newest crime novel, Only One Thing Stays the Same, at a pre-publication price of just $4.99.

On today's tariff-tastic episode of Quick Charge, we've got tariffs! Big ones, small ones, crazy ones, and fake ones – but whether or not you agree with the Trump tariffs coming into effect tomorrow, one thing is absolutely certain: they are going to change the price you pay for your next car ... and that price won't be going down! Everyone's got questions about what these tariffs are going to mean for their next car buying experience, but this is a bigger question, since nearly every industry in the US uses cars and trucks to move their people and products – and when their costs go up, so do yours. Source Links Trump imposes tariffs on all car imports: here's where all EVs available in the US come from Tesla gets more than 20% of its parts from Mexico, yes it will be affected by tariffs Report: Trump's tariffs on imports could cripple Stellantis' annual earnings by 75% Elon Musk: Tesla (TSLA) is ‘not unscathed', tariff impact is ‘significant' Hyundai reveals multi-billion-dollar bet to dodge Trump's tariffs and boost EVs in the US Tesla complains about being target of retaliatory tariffs, and it was right: it's starting Get this $20,000 Tesla conquest deal on Polestar 3 (before the tariffs hit) BUY IT NOW: these EV deals will be hardest hit by Trump's tariffs after April 2nd Prefer listening to your podcasts?

In a strong divergence from their sane content, Zach and Searnold have dedicated this portion of their lives to the discussion of every cover of Amazing Spider-Man. Listen along as they talk about things you can't see for 2 hours, as they go through 300 more issues. From McFarlane to Straczynski, the Clone Saga to Civil War, Maximum Carnage through One More Day, enjoy this discussion of such unmemorable Spider-Man villains as Styx and Stone, Joystick and Polestar, Shadrac and Freak.
Jill and Tom open the show covering a few news stories. First, Toyota is claiming it will have a solid-state EV battery in a production vehicle around 2030. Could be big news in regard to EV price and range. Listen in for details. The hosts went on to discuss Mercedes-Benz's new turquoise marker- and tail lights. Why are they doing this? Listen in. Still in the first segment, Jill shared details of a story she wrote about how the similar-size Toyota 4Runner and Land Cruiser crossovers differ. Clue: One is more family friendly than the other. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions to the show. Sam walked the hosts through the headwinds faced by the auto industry as a result of the current administration's tariff plans. Sam also discussed Tesla's plant capacity situation, which may be most acute in Europe, where the company recently opened a new manufacturing facility. In the last segment, Jill is tormented by Tom's “Pontiac or Oldsmobile?” quiz, and the hosts talk a little about Polestar, a new EV brand with Volvo roots.
Nokian Tyres is making a splash in the North American UHP tire market with the release of the Surpass AS01 ultra-high-performance all-season tire. Tire Review had the opportunity to test the tire at the legendary Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We tested the tires on four vehicles: Lexus RX500h, Polestar 2, Toyota Supra, and Mercedes C300. We evaluated the tire's wet grip, dry handling, and overall stability. This Nokian Surpass AS01 review highlights the tire's performance in these conditions.Nokian Surpass AS01 Review: Performance and DurabilityThe Surpass AS01 combines Nokian's Silica Sense tread compound for improved traction and longevity with durability features. These features include Pothole Protection and a Driving Safety Indicator. Nokian leadership emphasizes the company's focus on premium performance, versatile fitment for ICE and EV vehicles, and a competitive price point. These factors position the Surpass AS01 as a standout in the all-season UHP category.Fitment and Range of Sizes The Surpass AS01 comes in 65 sizes, ranging from 16-21 inches. These sizes cover many popular vehicles, making it a solid option for both everyday drivers and performance enthusiasts. Tire Review Editor David Sickels takes the tire to the track and provides a comprehensive review of its capabilities on one of the most challenging (and fun) tracks in North America.Tire Review: www.tirereview.comHunter Engineering: www.hunterengineering.com

A man is in police custody after a series of vandalism attacks on electric vehicles took place in Auckland. Cars including Teslas and a Polestar electric vehicle were reportedly spray-painted - making them unsafe to drive. Auckland City Electric Vehicles director Greg Larsen says the Tesla brand has become a 'political football' as a result of CEO Elon Musk's recent actions. "It's quite interesting that a motor vehicle brand has become a political football - and violence and vigilante kinds of activities are happening because of a vehicle brand."

While new circumstances might spell difficulties for the makers of electric vehicles, Hyundai is charging ahead with new variants of its popular Ioniq 5. Accompanying a 2025 model-year refresh, the newest of the variants is the Ioniq 5 XRT, an off-road take on the platform. It includes standard all-wheel-drive, increased ride height, all-terrain tires and tow hooks. To describe it for us we have Mike Evanoff, a senior product planner and expert on the vehicle. Host Jack Nerad just caught up with him at a Hyundai-sponsored event in and around Palm Springs, California, and we have that interview for you. This week our road tests include thorough evaluations of the 2025 Polestar 3 battery-electric crossover and the 2025 Toyota Corolla FX. Guest Co-Host Matt DeLorenzo, author of How To Buy an Affordable Electric Car: A Tightwad's Guide to EV ownership, applied his special expertise to a review of the Polestar 3. Also in this episode, Host Jack Nerad describes his experiences during a week at the wheel of the new Corolla FX trim. In the news this week, Chevrolet has unveiled a startlingly new ultra-high performance prototype based loosely on a production EV. It might end up being a racecar in a series that would feature several similar EVs. We'll have the details. There's more tariff talk this week as the Trump Administration signals that it is looking at “reciprocal tariffs” on automobiles and other products. We can give some clarity on what has become an emotional issue. In light of changing regulations — and changing market conditions — Ford has decided to delay the launch of its next-generation F-150 pickup. And a troubled electric vehicle maker has entered into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We'll tell you which one and what its future might hold coming up.
