China’s Shenzhou 20 debris crisis: a catalyst for space war – or peace?
A tiny piece of debris triggered the most serious mishap at China’s Tiangong space station since it became operational three years ago. Earlier this month, a crack discovered on the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft’s window forced three Chinese astronauts to remain on board Tiangong for nine extra days and eventually borrow their newly arrived colleagues’ ship to return to Earth. The event underscores the growing threat posed by Earth’s ever-expanding cloud of orbital junk – a scare that could push China,… Source link
NASA Stennis Engineer Huy Nguyen Follows Family Footsteps into NASA’s Artemis Era
Huy Nguyen grew up hearing about rocket engines and space flight around the family table. His parents worked for NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, and those early conversations eventually started his path to NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. “They both created a household that allowed me to be curious and to be a problem solver,” Nguyen said. The dinner conversations have come full circle as the New Orleans native finds himself applying that same curiosity and problem-solving mindset at NASA Stennis. Nguyen is currently the electrical controls engineer for propulsion testing support areas,…
Massive hidden structures deep inside Earth may explain how life began
Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside Earth—hidden formations that have puzzled researchers for decades. New modeling suggests that slow leakage of elements from Earth’s core into the mantle prevented the planet from developing strong chemical layers after its primordial magma-ocean era. Source link
Chomsky had deeper ties with Epstein than previously known, documents reveal
The philosopher and the sex trafficker were in contact long after Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, documents reveal The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November this month by US lawmakers. Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges –…
Apple Watch SE 3 review: the bargain smartwatch for iPhone
Cut-price watch offers most of what makes the Series 11 great, including an always-on screen, watchOS 26 and wrist-flick gesture Apple’s entry level Watch SE has been updated with almost everything from its excellent mid-range Series 11 but costs about 40% less, making it the bargain of iPhone smartwatches. The new Watch SE 3 costs from £219 (€269/$249/A$399), making it one of the cheapest brand-new fully fledged smartwatches available for the iPhone and undercutting the £369 Series 11 and the top-of-the-line £749 Apple Watch Ultra 3.

Bad season of bird flu in UK hits supply of Christmas turkeys
Availability of chickens and ducks also expected to be tight, with 5% of the seasonal flock culled so far UK poultry producers are battling a “bad season” of bird flu, with cases much worse than at this point last year, putting a squeeze on supplies of Christmas birds including turkeys, chickens and ducks. Two industry insiders said they expected supplies of all poultry to be tight ahead of the festive season, especially for organic and free-range birds, which are seen as the most vulnerable to infection.

Scientists warn heatwaves will intensify for 1,000 years even after net zero
New climate modeling shows that heatwaves will keep getting hotter, longer, and more frequent for centuries—even after the world hits net-zero emissions. Delays of just a few years dramatically increase the likelihood of extreme, once-rare heat disasters, especially for countries near the equator. The research reveals that even reaching net zero by mid-century won’t reverse the trend, and some regions will continue to see worsening heatwaves for a thousand years. Source link
Cop30 live: ‘Clown show’ talks run into overtime with no clarity on climate deal
Negotiations ran late last night, and as delegates begin to leave the outcome of the summit remains unclear The US – by its absence not presence – has had a major impact on what appears likely to be a disappointing deal at the Cop30 climate summit. This is because the US is the only country with the power to influence Saudi Arabia, observers say. The oil-rich kingdom has a decades-long history of obstructing the climate talks to protect its lucrative industry and has been widely blamed here in Belém for leading efforts to block any mention of fossil fuels.…

‘It’s wrong’: the Labour MP speaking out against the party’s asylum policy
As a well-informed MP on the frontline of the debate, Tony Vaughan’s views are particularly unwelcome to government Before Monday morning, Folkestone and Hythe’s backbench Labour MP Tony Vaughan was best known for his slick, pro-government Instagram reels. In one, he dives into the brown sea off the Kent coast, ignoring a no swimming sign, to show constituents that Labour has made progress tackling water pollution; a few minutes later, he emerges in his trunks, as the 007 theme tune plays. In another, he is filmed by a drone striding along the shingle, wearing Ray-Ban aviators and a crisp…

Ignorance is bliss: rightwing media largely keeps quiet on Trump-Epstein saga
Fox News and other conservative networks have mostly avoided covering the president’s ties to the sex trafficker When House Democrats released emails which showed Jeffrey Epstein claiming Donald Trump “knew about the girls”, rightwing news channels in the US reacted the same way: with silence. Viewers of Fox News and other conservative networks would have had no idea that the president allegedly spent hours at Epstein’s home with one of his victims. Rightwing media largely kept quiet on all of it, apart from a notable slip when a progressive guest on Sean Hannity’s show repeatedly told his audience: “Trump’s…
