A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?
Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

Faktencheck: María Corina Machado – Nobelpreis & Rechtsaußen?
María Corina Machado erhielt den Friedensnobelpreis – doch ihre Nähe zu ultrarechten Netzwerken, marktradikalen Plänen und einem früheren Staatsstreich sorgt für heftige Kritik.

Es ist Vollmond
Der Comic zeigt eine dunkle Nachtszene mit einem leuchtenden Vollmond am Himmel und einer gezeichneten Strichfigur, die von unten nach oben schaut. Die Figur spricht mit dem Mond. Links oben steht der Text der Figur: „Lieber, guter Vollmond. Würdest du die Nacht bitte etwas weniger leuchten? Ich kann sonst kaum schlafen…“ Der Mond schaut wütend und antwortet: „Nix da!! Ich werde die Nacht zum Tag machen!“ Darunter sagt die Figur: „Du doofer Kackmond.“ Unten links steht die Signatur „islieb“.

Shut down but not silenced: Federal workers find their voice
After months of layoffs and funding cuts by the Trump administration, the government shutdown has given some federal employees hope that their voices are finally being heard.

One of the cartoons in my new book 'Physics for Cats' which is out now in the UK, USA, Canada, France and Germany. Order from your local bookshops or online: www.tomgauld.com/
Two beetles on a stick. One beetle says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform" Zoom out to reveal that they are in a glass case with two scientists studying them. One scientist says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform" Zoom out into space. Abouard a spaceship, two aliens watch the scientists on a screen. One alien says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform" The aliens turn to look out at the reader. Text below the cartoon reads: From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld. Preorder it at www.tomgauld.

Am 18. Oktober ist wieder eine „No Kings“-Demo gegen Trumps autoritäre Politik. Ich war bei der letzten dabei. Das waren ganz normale Leute, auch viele Rentner, mit fantasievollen Plakaten, null Gewalt. Die Republikaner wollen friedlichen Protest kriminalisieren - die National Guard steht bereit.

Maria Corina #Machado wurde also der #Friedensnobelpreis verliehen. Und viele jubeln jetzt: Ein "Zeichen gegen Trump" sei das, eine Hoffnung für die Welt. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Bitte informiert Euch. Als Nachkomme chilenischer Faschismusopfer ist mir das wirklich wichtig. Ein Thread: (1)

On the left is how the White House reacted to the Nobel Peace Prize announcement.

On the right is what President Trump posted about Maria Corina Machado back in January, just two weeks before nominations closed for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Steven Cheung * B @StevenCheung47 X.com President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will. The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado and President-elect Gonzalez are peacefully expressing the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating against the regime. The great Venezuelan American community in the United States overwhelmingly support a free Venezuela, and strongly supported me. These freedom fighters should not be harmed, and MUST stay SAFE and ALIVE! MODA 6.14k ReTruths 23.9k Likes 1/9/25, 2:14 PM

Magnetic “Switchback” Detected near Earth for First Time - Eos
Until recently, this type of zigzag shape—formed by energetic rearrangement of magnetic field lines—had been seen only near the Sun.

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭

Trump’s Gaza deal may bring a welcome pause to years of bloodshed — but let’s be clear: one ceasefire doesn’t make him a peacemaker.
While he chases a Nobel Prize abroad, he’s been stoking violence at home.
Peace isn’t a brand. It’s a character test.

The "Peacemaker" Who Thrives on Chaos
Trump’s Gaza deal may earn him applause — but his record of stoking violence at home shows he’s no champion of peace.

400 years later, astronomers finally understand Saturn’s rings

Saturn's rings have been a mystery for a long time.

We now know they're under 200 million years old, and an idea from 2022 just might explain their origin, and a whole lot more.

Ha! It looks like Avi Loeb silently edited his Medium post about the Perseverance Navcam images, after being called out for his wrong interpretation.
While he previously claimed the image was of 3I/Atlas, he now says the claim came from "social media". 🔭
A paragraph about the Navcam image that claimed the image is of 3I/Atlas was edited to say "This was claimed on social media to be an image" of the comet A paragraph that previously only mentioned the object creating the source could be much closer to the camera than Atlas was extended with a speculation that it could be one of the Martian moons.
