Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

Amazing: Comet ATLAS formed some 8 billion years ago. It made about 3 dozen circuits around our galaxy. It entered our our solar system & just passed 30 million kilometers from Mars...

...where ESA's ExoMars orbiter captured these images of the interstellar comet! 🧪🔭

All eyes on comet #3I/ATLAS ☄️

Hubble & Webb have already observed this comet coming from outside our Solar System.

Next up, our Mars Express, ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and Juice missions will turn their eyes towards it.

Learn more 👉 esa.int/3IATLAS 🔭🧪
At the center of the image is a comet that appears as a teardrop-shaped bluish cocoon of dust coming off the comet’s solid, icy nucleus and seen against a black background. The comet appears to be heading to the bottom left corner of the image. About a dozen short, light blue diagonal streaks are seen scattered across the image, which are from background stars that appeared to move during the exposure because the telescope was tracking the moving comet.

Presenting the greatest physics discovery of the last year: phase change research on cacio e pepe. Italian physicists solved the best tasting and hardest-to-make pasta sauce!!

I am telling you, this is a big deal - it just won an Ig Nobel prize 🏆

physics.aps.org/articles/v18...
The response has been very positive. Some people have complained but when you deal with traditional Italian cuisine, it’s impossible to make everyone happy.

A thought I keep returning to — and that’s underscored by today’s news — is that a legacy publication or a deep-pocketed investor could hire an astonishing array of talent right now and make the best newspaper in America overnight.

The comet displays a broad coma—a cloud of gas and dust that forms around the comet’s icy nucleus as it gets closer to the Sun. These features are more significant than they appeared in earlier images, showing that 3I/ATLAS has become more active as it travels through the Solar System. 🔭 🧪
