Like a cosmic butterfly, a cluster of young stars is just emerging from its cocoon – a cloud of gas and dust. The cocoon `spans about 45 light-years. But some of the beautiful butterfly is already in view. Parts of the gas cloud are lit up by the brightest of the infant stars taking shape there. That creates a glowing patch of red and blue. The whole complex is known as the Cocoon Nebula. It’s about 4,000 light-years away, in Cygnus. Hundreds of stars are being born inside it. The most impressive of those stars is about 14 times as massive as the Sun, and tens of thousands of times brighter. It’s especially bright in the ultraviolet – wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye. The U-V zaps atoms of hydrogen in the nebula, splitting them apart. When the atoms re-combine, they emit red light – the main color of the nebula. The hot star also illuminates dust grains in the nebula. It doesn’t set them aglow; instead, the light simply reflects off the grains. That colors the blue parts of the nebula. Less-massive stars – stars like the Sun or even smaller – are still coming together. They won’t shine as fully formed stars for millions of years. The Cocoon Nebula is low in the northeast at nightfall. It’s to the lower left of the bright star Deneb, which marks the tail of the swan. The nebula is too faint to see with the eye alone.

How much of the life you are living was actually chosen by you? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, we explore authentic living: the practice of examining the scripts inherited from parents, culture, school, and social media, and deciding for the first time which ones are genuinely yours.Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. This episode invites you to look honestly at the voices shaping your choices, not to blame them, but to see them clearly and to begin living from your own values rather than someone else's story.Most of us were handed a script before we could read it. Family wrote the early lines. School added more. Culture and religion filled in the gaps. And now social media rewrites it daily: feeding you someone else's version of success, happiness, and what a good life looks like. The Stoics called the faculty of conscious choice prohairesis, the one thing that has always been yours. Most people spend their entire lives using it to fulfil someone else's vision without ever noticing.This episode of the Via Stoica Podcast asks one of the most important questions in Stoic philosophy and in life: who wrote your script and why are you still listening to them? If you have ever felt that the life you are living belongs to someone else, this conversation is for you.Support the showviastoica.comYouTube: @viastoicaProduced by: Badmic.com

The Sun’s closest planet is making a pretty good appearance in the early evening. As seen from Earth, it’s just about as far from the Sun as it ever gets. It looks like a bright star low in the west-northwest beginning shortly after sunset. Mercury is getting ready to cross between Earth and the Sun – a point known as inferior conjunction. In the meantime, it’ll drop closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth. It’ll vanish in the twilight in a couple of weeks. Mercury’s orbit is carrying the planet closer to Earth. Tonight, it’s about 78 million miles away. At conjunction, it’ll close to just 53 million miles. On average, Mercury returns to conjunction every 116 days. But the gap varies by more than 10 days in either direction. That’s because Mercury’s orbit is more lopsided than that of any other planet. When Mercury is closer to the Sun it moves faster; when it’s farther it moves more slowly. So the gap between conjunctions varies depending on where Mercury is in its orbit when it passes Earth. For the next few nights, look for Mercury as evening twilight fades. Although the planet is bright, it’s so low that you need a clear horizon to spot it. It lines up to the lower right of the much brighter planets Venus and Jupiter. And the crescent Moon will join the lineup on Tuesday, helping point the way to the little planet.

This week we're sliding into the DMs with Russell T Davies, the TV icon behind Queer as Folk, It's a Sin, Doctor Who and now Tip Toe. He reveals the hardest scene he has ever had to write and what he said to a TV exec who told him to give a character a tick because they were boring. He also shares the news that It's a Sin is coming to the stage as a nationwide ballet tour, and gets candid about when he first felt seen on screen as a young gay man and how that moment changed everything.

A relic from the early universe is racing through Libra. It’s moving across the constellation at 800,000 miles per hour. That’s far faster than most of the stars around us. So it’ll move out of Libra in the blink of a cosmic eye. The star is HD 140283. But it also has a nickname – the Methuselah Star. That’s because it’s probably about 13 billion to 14 billion years old. Since the universe itself is only 13.8 billion years old, that makes the star one of the oldest anywhere. Astronomers have pieced together several bits of evidence to arrive at that age. The key bit is the star’s composition. It has very low levels of elements that are heavier than hydrogen and helium, the simplest elements. Heavier elements were created in the hearts of stars, then spewed into space when the stars died. Some of these elements then were incorporated into later generations of stars. HD 140283 has less than half a percent as much iron as the Sun, with slightly higher levels of oxygen and a few other elements. Those abundances tell astronomers the star must have been born when the universe was brand new. As night falls, the star is to the lower left of Zubeneschamali, Libra’s leading light. It’s too faint to see with the eye alone, but it is visible through binoculars. Script by Damond Benningfield

I am good. I protest. I save people. I must save the world - now.  If this even slightly feels like something you've told yourself, then this episode is for you. Author and campaigner Anthea Lawson's brilliant new book is called How Not To Save The World. It's about the 'script' that activists - including her - tell ourselves, often without realising it. From this script, which can come from deep cultural and psychological places, comes many things that aren't much help - like burnout, the excusing of bad behaviour, and pushing people away rather than persuading them.  Instead Anthea's got a new recipe for change-making which is better for the activists, and better for the world. I loved Anthea's book and, as will become abundantly clear, it spoke to me good and proper. If you've ever wrestled with how to be a good activist, I commend it, and this chat, to you in the highest terms. Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com.

Every star in the night sky is moving – orbiting the center of the galaxy. Some are moving toward us, while others are moving away. We can’t see that motion because the stars are so remote. But we can measure it with special instruments – one of the most important techniques in astronomy. The instruments break the light of a star or other object into its individual wavelengths or colors. Each chemical element imprints its own “barcode” in that array of wavelengths. A star’s motion toward or away from us causes the barcodes to shift position. If it’s moving away from us, the shift is toward longer, redder wavelengths: a redshift. And if it’s moving toward us, the shift is toward shorter, bluer wavelengths: a blueshift. The size of the shift reveals the speed. The technique also can reveal how fast a star is spinning; the side that’s rotating toward us is blueshifted, while the opposite side is redshifted. And it can reveal orbiting companions; their gravity pushes and pulls the star, slightly changing its motion. Two bright stars with well-measured shifts are in view as the sky darkens this evening. Regulus is in the west, well to the upper left of the brilliant planets Venus and Jupiter. Its light is redshifted; it’s moving away from us at about 9300 miles per hour. Antares, quite low in the southeast, is sliding toward us at about 8600 miles per hour – giving its light a definite blueshift. Script by Damond Benningfield

Most Christian entrepreneurs say they hate cold calling. They say it feels awkward. Pushy. Maybe even a little manipulative.So they avoid it.But what if the real issue isn't cold calling at all? What if the discomfort is revealing something deeper about how many faith-driven entrepreneurs see their role in the marketplace?In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore a question that may challenge the way you think about outreach, sales, and even calling.Somewhere along the way, many believers began assuming that being authentic means waiting to be discovered. But what if that assumption is costing more than we realize? What if the conversations we avoid are connected to the very people we're called to serve?This episode opens a deeper conversation about initiative, stewardship, and the tension many Christian founders feel when faith and business growth collide. This perspective will shift the way you see sales, service, and your assignment in the marketplace.Because sometimes the thing we resist the most… is the doorway to the people we're meant to reach.If you're a CEO, consultant, or founder who wants to grow your business without compromising your faith, integrity, or calling, this episode will challenge the way you think about sales—and the role you play in the marketplace! The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned. Whether it's your structure, your clarity, or your capacity, this show helps you identify what's off and what to focus on next.Hosted by Edna Harding, author of "The Ugly Side of Sales 2.0" and founder of Favor & Wealth, a business growth strategy firm that helps leaders scale with clarity, structure, and biblical alignment.

For skywatchers in the United States, a grouping in the western evening sky right now is a case of the haves and the have-mores. The group is visible across the entire country. But the view gets better as you move farther south. The group features the planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, and the stars Pollux and Castor – the “twins” of Gemini. Venus is the brightest member, with the twins to its right, and Jupiter and Mercury to its lower right. All five members of the group are near the ecliptic – the Sun’s path across the sky. And the angle of the ecliptic varies by latitude. As seen from the equator, the ecliptic stands almost straight up from the horizon at sunset. The Sun drops straight down below the horizon, so the sky darkens quickly. At the same time, Venus and the others stand fairly high above the horizon. They’re still well up as twilight fades. As you go farther north, the ecliptic tilts toward the south. The farther north you are, the greater that angle. So when the Sun sets, it doesn’t drop straight down – it also slides across the horizon. As a result, the sky remains bright for much longer than it does at the equator. Venus and the others are lower in the sky at sunset, so they’re more likely to be blocked by trees or mountains. And they’re immersed in the twilight longer. That leaves less time to enjoy this beautiful group of planets and stars in the evening sky. Script by Damond Benningfield

A quadruple star system in Cygnus takes the concept of a close-knit family to extremes. It consists of three big, heavy stars packed into a region smaller than the orbit of Mercury, the Sun’s closest planet. A fourth star is looking on from a wider separation – about the distance between the Sun and Jupiter, the fifth planet. The system was discovered by a planet-hunting space telescope. Over several years, it revealed two of the stars, then three, and now, four. Astronomers say the stars probably formed together, from the same cloud of gas and dust. That means the four stars are siblings. All three of the central stars are bigger, brighter, and hotter than the Sun. Two of them form a binary – they orbit each other once every three days. The more massive of those stars is already nearing the end of its life. It’s beginning to puff up. It should get so big that it will engulf its close companion. That will begin a complicated process in which all three stars should merge. Within about 300 million years, all that will be left of them is a single, heavy “corpse” known as a white dwarf. The fourth star will remain on its own. It’s about the same size and mass as the Sun. It’ll continue to shine for billions of years. Then it, too, will expire, forming another white dwarf. So this brilliant quartet will be reduced to a faint duo – two dead stars cooling and fading across the eons. Script by Damond Benningfield

Saturn has more moons than any other planet in the solar system – 274 as of this spring. All of the bigger ones are interesting worlds in their own right. Some of them are balls of ice mixed with rock. And they offer some especially eye-catching features. Mimas has a huge impact crater that makes it look like a Star Wars death star. It’s a third as wide as Mimas itself, with walls three miles high and a floor 10 miles deep. It was created by an impact that almost ripped the moon apart. Shockwaves raced all the way around Mimas, creating a jumbled landscape on the opposite side. Iapetus has a couple of giant craters. But it stands out for two other reasons. One is its coloring. One hemisphere is covered with ice, so it’s as white as snow. The other is covered with dust that’s as dark as charcoal. The other thing that makes it stand out is its shape – it resembles a walnut. A mountain range circles its equator. It’s a dozen miles wide, and averages about nine miles high. A region of Dione is marked by cliffs that form bright slashes. The cliffs are up to a thousand feet high, and they stretch across hundreds of miles. They probably formed as Dione shrank, wrinkling its crust – sculpting an intriguing feature on one of Saturn’s moons. Saturn is near our moon at dawn tomorrow. It looks like a bright star to the lower right of the Moon. But you need a telescope to see any of the giant planet’s ice-ball moons. Script by Damond Benningfield

The Pirates were supposed to be built around pitching, but through early June, it has been the offense carrying them. On today's OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down how Pittsburgh's lineup has become one of the better units in baseball, why Ryan O'Hearn, Brandon Lowe, Spencer Horwitz, Endy Rodriguez, Nick Gonzales, Oneil Cruz, and Konnor Griffin have helped change the identity of this team, and why the pitching staff has not taken the step forward many expected. After a rough series against Atlanta, the question is no longer whether the Pirates can score enough. It's whether Mitch Keller, Bubba Chandler, Paul Skenes, Dennis Santana, and the rest of the pitching staff can get back to being the strength this team was built around.

In this episode, Dr. OiYan Poon talks with Drs. Courtney Luedke and Erick Montenegro about why higher education needs a cultural shift in how it understands student success. Instead of locating problems within students, the conversation highlights how everyday routines, policies, and decision‑making structures often create hidden barriers that limit students' ability to reach their academic goals. Together, they call on institutional leaders, policymakers, and educators to redirect their problem‑solving energy toward examining—and redesigning—the systems that shape student pathways and determine whether students are positioned to thrive.

Genesis 1:26–31

If you look toward the west the next couple of evenings and feel like you’re having double vision – well, you are. But it’s nothing to worry about. It’s a conjunction between the two brightest points of light in the night sky – the planets Venus and Jupiter. They’re separated by less than two degrees – the width of your finger held at arm’s length. Venus is the brighter point – the brilliant “evening star.” Jupiter is only about one-seventh as bright, but it still outshines all the other planets and stars. Jupiter is the largest and heaviest planet in the solar system. It’s a ball of gas with a dense, oozy center. Its atmosphere is topped by bands of clouds painted tan, yellow, red, and ivory. The clouds reflect most of the sunlight that strikes them, making the planet bright. Venus is only the sixth-largest and -heaviest planet – right behind Earth. It’s also covered by clouds. But they don’t form colorful stripes. To the eye alone, in fact, they look featureless – a smooth blanket of white. But they’re more reflective than Jupiter’s clouds. Venus is also much closer to both Earth and the Sun than Jupiter is. That combination makes it the brightest pinpoint in the night sky. Venus and Jupiter will be closest together tonight and tomorrow night. Then Venus will pull away, increasing the gap by about one degree per night – slowly ending the “double vision” in the evening sky. Script by Damond Benningfield

Recorded live at PSConfEU 2026, Andrew sits down with returning guest Miriam Wiesner, Senior Security Researcher at Microsoft, for a wide-ranging conversation on PowerShell security, cookie-based attacks, and the evolving threat landscape. Miriam walks through her two conference talks — one on Microsoft Teams session cookie hijacking (a follow-up to her 2025 Entra ID cookie talk, complete with Cookie Monster branding and actual handcuffs), and a joint session with Stéphane van Gulick on using Microsoft Defender's Live Response feature for incident investigation. The conversation also covers the current state of PowerShell security, why sophisticated attackers are moving away from PowerShell, and why defenders who haven't enabled script block logging and AMSI are leaving easy wins on the table. On top of the technical deep dive, Miriam and Andrew get into the human side of the conference community — nerves before presenting, imposter syndrome, and why showing up is already half the battle. Key Takeaways: Cookie-based identity attacks are an active and growing threat. Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive share session cookies, meaning a single cookie theft can give an attacker broad access across your organization's collaboration tools — no re-authentication required. Sophisticated threat actors are moving away from PowerShell specifically because its security features work. Script block logging, AMSI, and Constrained Language Mode make PowerShell activity highly visible and detectable. If your org hasn't enabled these, you're handing attackers an easy path. Visibility beats prevention. You can't prevent what you can't see. Detection through proper logging is not a consolation prize — it's a core security strategy, and Microsoft Defender's Live Response feature gives teams a powerful way to investigate isolated endpoints without needing RDP or PowerShell remoting enabled. Guest Bio: Miriam Wiesner is a Senior Security Research Program Manager at Microsoft with over 15 years of experience in IT security, penetration testing, and security automation. She works on research behind Microsoft Defender and Sentinel and is the creator of widely used open source PowerShell security tools EventList and JEAnalyzer. Miriam is a sought-after speaker at major security and PowerShell conferences including Black Hat, PSConfEU, and MITRE ATT&CK Workshops. She's also the author of "PowerShell Automation and Scripting for Cybersecurity," published by Packt. Her conference speaker career started at PSConfEU 2018 and she's been a fixture of the community ever since.

In this episode, I explore the strange social vertigo that can follow life in a high-control group, why authentic connection often feels riskier than performance, and how we can shift from to less theater, more improv. Along the way, I share a few stories from my own attempts to navigate life without a script—some insightful, some awkward, and at least one involving psychedelics and questionable decision-making. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing relationships correctly, this episode is for you.    

Any residents of a galaxy in the constellation Serpens have a big problem: They’re being blasted by a death ray from a black hole. The galaxy is a companion to a bigger galaxy, known as 3C321. They’re more than a billion light-years away. A supermassive black hole inhabits the heart of the larger galaxy. It’s surrounded by a giant disk of gas that’s heated to millions of degrees. Powerful magnetic fields funnel charged particles from the disk into jets. They squirt away from the poles of the black hole at almost the speed of light. One of those jets is firing toward the companion galaxy, which is just 20,000 light-years away. Observations by telescopes on the ground and in space show that the jet is hitting the edge of the companion, creating a hotspot. The encounter deflects the beam off its original course, but the beam continues for hundreds of thousands of light-years. The particles and radiation in the beam could destroy the ozone layer of any planet the beam hits. That would leave the planet exposed to radiation from the beam itself, and from other cosmic sources. So anything living on the planet would be in danger. And the situation is getting even worse. The smaller galaxy appears to be just entering the black-hole jet. Over time, more of the galaxy will pass through the jet – possibly exposing even more planets to this “death ray” from another galaxy. Script by Damond Benningfield

The sky is divided into 88 official constellations. In fact, though, it’s more like 88 and a half. That’s because the constellation Serpens consists of two disconnected parts – a head and a tail. They wrap “behind” the body of Ophiuchus the serpent bearer. Serpens is in full view in the east and southeast by a couple of hours after sunset. The half that represents the head is highest, above Ophiuchus, with the tail below the serpent bearer. The front of the snake, Serpens Caput, is the more prominent half. It has several stars that are fairly easy to see. The brightest is Alpha Serpentis, also known as Unukalhai – “the serpent’s neck.” It’s a red giant – an old, bloated star that’s much bigger and brighter than the Sun. Its surface is much cooler than the Sun’s, so the star looks yellow-orange. The back half of the snake, Serpens Cauda, is tougher to spot. Its brightest star, Eta Serpentis, is the second-brightest star in the whole constellation. It’s about half as bright as Alpha. But the two stars are quite similar. Eta is also a giant – a puffed-up star that’s nearing the end of its life. It’s a little farther along than Alpha, so it’s a little bigger and brighter. It looks fainter because it’s farther away. The two stars will end their lives in the same way. Each will cast its outer layers into space, leaving behind a hot but tiny corpse known as a white dwarf. More about Serpens tomorrow.

Every buyer says they are waiting right now. Waiting for rates. Waiting for prices. Waiting for the market to make the decision for them. In this episode of Tim & Julie Harris, Tim and Julie break down the buyer objection agents are hearing everywhere in the 2026 real estate market: “I'm waiting for rates to come down.” The problem is that most agents do not know how to handle that conversation, so they lose the buyer, lose the commission, and lose control of the deal. You will learn why the real issue is usually payment, not interest rate, and how seller-paid rate buydowns can help buyers understand their options more clearly. Tim and Julie also explain why agents should put their best daily energy into listings, not uncertain buyers, and why listings create more leverage, more lead generation, and more career stability. You will also learn why sellers require higher-level skills, why buyers can always change their minds, how builders use payment-based marketing to compete, and how creative financing strategy can help you win both buyers and listings in a more balanced 2026 market. This is exactly the kind of tactical training serious agents need if they want a real business, stronger listing skills, and a better career path through eXp Realty and Libertas.

Venus and Jupiter are staging one of the top skywatching events of the year – an especially close encounter of the two brightest points of light in the night sky. It plays out in the west over the next few evenings. Venus is the beautiful “evening star” – the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon. Jupiter is the next-brightest. Even so, right now it’s only about one-seventh as bright as Venus, so it’s easy to tell them apart. The two planets can pass especially close because both of them stay near the ecliptic – the Sun’s path across the sky. They pass by each other every year or so. But both worlds wander a little bit to either side of the ecliptic, so they usually just miss each other. And even when they are close, they’re sometimes so near the Sun that we can’t see them. At times, though, Venus can pass in front of Jupiter, blocking it from view That last happened in 1818. It’ll happen again in 2065. But that’s one of those times when they’ll be too close to the Sun to see. Tonight, Jupiter is close to the upper left of Venus. But over the coming evenings, Venus will overtake it. They’ll stand side by side on Sunday, and be especially close on Monday and Tuesday – separated by about the width of your finger held at arm’s length. They don’t drop from view until about 10:30 or 11, so there’s plenty of time to watch this impressive planetary encounter. Script by Damond Benningfield
