Congressman Who Voted To Ban Plastic Bags Says He Shoplifted Because Store Didn’t Have Bags | Not the Bee https://share.google/AjioNiw3JDCphsAM0

terror-affiliated (cyber) groups have strategically planted seeds of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment to not only destabilize the region in the East but Israel’s ally in the West: the United States.

Once that United States falls, taking Israel becomes far easier — and everything you own is just collateral damage.

So before anyone joins the chorus screaming about the “EVIL ZIONIST EMPIRE,” take a moment.

It’s Israel, not the terrorists, that can help America identify and neutralize foreign and domestic threats. Israel has the best of the best, not these guys. Get rid of your influencers and politicians who are most definitely being paid to spread the hate. BLOCK THEM so they never even appear on your timeline.

Wanna hear something stupid? It wasn't just reading about how Eddie VH dealt with people copying him that helped, there was also hearing about someone else recently that helped make things easier: Kevin fuckin' Bacon.

There was a news story that came out fairly recently, may have been early this year but might have been late last year about how if he's at a wedding and he hears Footloose at the reception he inwardly cringes and thinks people are making it about him. I thought to myself when I first heard that, "Motherfucker, I used to be a mobile DJ in college, doing wedding receptions and Christmas parties, and Footloose was a guaranteed play at a wedding reception. How can you think they're trying to make it about you when it's obviously about them and what they want to dance to?" If I didn't play it, someone would always request it, always. Something clicked in that moment and it helped. Always separated the art from the artist with others but never started doing it for myself until I heard his feelings about that song. Not that what I do here can be considered art though IMO.

The Seagull Nebula

An interstellar expanse of glowing gas and obscuring dust presents a bird-like visage to astronomers from planet Earth, suggesting its popular moniker, the Seagull Nebula. This broadband portrait of the cosmic bird covers a 3.5-degree wide swath across the plane of the Milky Way, in the direction of Sirius, alpha star of the constellation of the Big Dog (Canis Major). The bright head of the Seagull Nebula is cataloged as IC 2177, a compact, dusty emission and reflection nebula with embedded massive star HD 53367. The larger emission region, encompassing objects with other catalog designations, is Likely part of an extensive shell structure swept up by successive supernova explosions. The notable bluish arc below and right of center is a bow shock from runaway star FN Canis Majoris. Dominated by the reddish glow of atomic hydrogen, this complex of interstellar gas and dust clouds with other stars of the Canis Majoris OB1 association spans over 200 light-years at the Seagull Nebula's estimated 3,800 light-year distance.

CIA: Intel ‘indicates’ Iran nuke program ‘severely damaged,’ several sites ‘destroyed’

The US Central Intelligence Agency says Iran’s nuclear program “has been severely damaged” by recent strikes carried out by the US and Israel, which “destroyed” several key sites in a manner that will require years to rebuild.

The agency issues a statement attributed to its director,John Ratcliffe, in which it confirms “that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran’s nuclear program has been severely damaged by the recent, targeted strikes.”

“This includes new intelligence from a historically reliable and accurate source/method that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years,” the statement adds.

“CIA continues to collect additional reliably sourced information to keep appropriate decision-makers and oversight bodies fully informed,” it continues.

“When possible, we will also provide updates and information to the American public, given the national importance of this matter and in every attempt to provide transparency.”

Who is Rama Duwaji? Wife of NYC Zohran Mamdani is pro-Palestinian illustrator activist he met on Hinge

Zohran Mamdani might not be the only radical relocating to Gracie Mansion in the fall — his artist wife, whose multimedia career often includes pro-Palestinian works, will be by his side if the Democratic primary winner claims another victory in November.

Mamdani’s wife, 27-year-old Rama Duwaji, shared the stage with her 33-year-old socialist husband after his stunning victory Tuesday night, one of her rare appearances on the campaign trail.

She was largely unseen since Mamdani announced his candidacy in October, but was thrust into the spotlight in May after The Post reported on the couple’s small but lavish Dubai engagement celebration.

Mamdani took a moment to honor his wife after his stunning victory over disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“I must thank my incredible wife,” he said to applause from the watching crowd. “Rama, thank you,” he added, kissing her hand.

“Couldn’t possibly be prouder,” Duwaji wrote on Instagram after the Queens assemblyman’s historic win, which could see him become the youngest Big Apple mayor since 1914.

NASA’s Webb Digs into Structural Origins of Disk Galaxies

Jun 26, 2025

Present-day disk galaxies often contain a thick, star-filled outer disk and an embedded thin disk of stars. For instance, our own Milky Way galaxy’s thick disk is approximately 3,000 light-years in height, and its thin disk is roughly 1,000 light-years thick.

How and why does this dual disk structure form? By analyzing archival data from multiple observational programs by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers is closer to answers, as well as understanding the origins of disk galaxies in general.

The team carefully identified, visually verified, and analyzed a statistical sample of 111 edge-on disk galaxies at various periods — up to 11 billion years ago (or approximately 2.8 billion years after the big bang).

This is the first time scientists have investigated thick- and thin-disk structures spanning such vast distances, bridging the gap between observers probing the early universe and galactic archaeologists seeking to understand our own galaxy’s history.

“This unique measurement of the thickness of the disks at high redshift, or at times in the early universe, is a benchmark for theoretical study that was only possible with Webb,” said Takafumi Tsukui, lead author of the paper and a researcher at the Australian National University in Canberra. “Usually, the older, thick disk stars are faint, and the young, thin disk stars outshine the entire galaxy. But with Webb’s resolution and unique ability to see through dust and highlight faint old stars, we can identify the two-disk structure of galaxies and measure their thickness separately.”

Image: A Sample of Galaxy Disks (NIRCam)

Data Through Thick and Thin

By analyzing these 111 targets over cosmological time, the team was able to study single-disk galaxies and double-disk galaxies. Their results indicate that galaxies form a thick disk first, followed by a thin disk.

The timing of when this takes place is dependent on the galaxy’s mass: high-mass, single-disk galaxies transitioned to two-disk structures around 8 billion years ago.

In contrast, low-mass, single-disk galaxies formed their embedded thin disks later on, about 4 billion years ago.

VA processes more than 2M disability claims in record time

June 24, 2025 9:31 am

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced today that it processed more than 2 million disability benefits claims for Veterans in fiscal year 2025, faster than ever before.

VA achieved this milestone more than a month faster than the all-time record reached in FY 2024. At this pace, VA will surpass the previous record number of completed disability claims by more than 14% this year.

VA has already awarded more than $120 billion in compensation and pension benefits to Veterans and survivors in FY 2025.

Since President Trump took office, VA has reduced the inventory of backlogged disability claims by more than 74,000.

Veterans are also getting their claims processed more quickly — the average wait time for a Veteran’s claim to be processed fell from 141.5 days on Jan. 20, 2025, to 131.8 days on June 21, 2025.

“VA has reduced the claims backlog and has processed these claims faster than ever for a simple reason: we’re focused on getting results for Veterans,” VA Secretary Doug Collins.

“We are just getting started in our mission to help Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors get the care and benefits they’ve earned.”

VA encourages all Veterans to visit VA.gov to learn more and apply for the care and benefits they deserve.

NASA, Australia Team Up for Artemis II Lunar Laser Communications Test

Jun 26, 2025

As NASA prepares for its Artemis II mission, researchers at the agency’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland are collaborating with The Australian National University (ANU) to prove inventive, cost-saving laser communications technologies in the lunar environment.

Communicating in space usually relies on radio waves, but NASA is exploring laser, or optical, communications, which can send data 10 to 100 times faster to the ground.

Instead of radio signals, these systems use infrared light to transmit high-definition video, picture, voice, and science data across vast distances in less time.

NASA has proven laser communications during previous technology demonstrations, but Artemis II will be the first crewed mission to attempt using lasers to transmit data from deep space.

To support this effort, researchers working on the agency’s Real Time Optical Receiver (RealTOR) project have developed a cost-effective laser transceiver using commercial-off-the-shelf parts.

Earlier this year, NASA Glenn engineers built and tested a replica of the system at the center’s Aerospace Communications Facility, and they are now working with ANU to build a system with the same hardware models to prepare for the university’s Artemis II laser communications demo.

“Australia’s upcoming lunar experiment could showcase the capability, affordability, and reproducibility of the deep space receiver engineered by Glenn,” said Jennifer Downey, co-principal investigator for the RealTOR project at NASA Glenn.

“It’s an important step in proving the feasibility of using commercial parts to develop accessible technologies for sustainable exploration beyond Earth.”

During Artemis II, which is scheduled for early 2026, NASA will fly an optical communications system aboard the Orion spacecraft, which will test using lasers to send data across the cosmos.

During the mission, NASA will attempt to transmit recorded 4K ultra-high-definition video, flight procedures, pictures, science data, and voice communications from the Moon to Earth.

Nearly 10,000 miles from Cleveland, ANU researchers working at the Mount Stromlo Observatory ground station hope to receive data during Orion’s journey around the Moon using the Glenn-developed transceiver model.

This ground station will serve as a test location for the new transceiver design and will not be one of the mission’s primary ground stations.

If the test is successful, it will prove that commercial parts can be used to build affordable, scalable space communication systems for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

“Engaging with The Australian National University to expand commercial laser communications offerings across the world will further demonstrate how this advanced satellite communications capability is ready to support the agency’s networks and missions as we set our sights on deep space exploration,” said Marie Piasecki, technology portfolio manager for NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program.

As NASA continues to investigate the feasibility of using commercial parts to engineer ground stations, Glenn researchers will continue to provide critical support in preparation for Australia’s demonstration.

Strong global partnerships advance technology breakthroughs and are instrumental as NASA expands humanity’s reach from the Moon to Mars, while fueling innovations that improve life on Earth.

Through Artemis, NASA will send astronauts to explore the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

The RealTOR project is one aspect of the optical communications portfolio within NASA’s SCaN Program, which includes demonstrations and in-space experiment platforms to test the viability of infrared light for sending data to and from space.

These include the LCOT (Low-Cost Optical Terminal) project, the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration, and more. NASA Glenn manages the project under the direction of agency’s SCaN Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Eric Adams suddenly finds ‘overwhelming support’ from NYC’s desperate business elites

New York City’s business community — stunned by the apparent primary victory of socialist Zohran Mamdani and fearing a leftward shift in America’s biggest city — appears to be abandoning its grudging support for former Governor Andrew Cuomo and organizing more desperately around Mayor Eric Adams in a last ditch effort to block Mamdani in November’s general election.

Some of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s biggest backers hinted in fluid, panicked conversations Wednesday that they’ll put their money behind Adams, who was elected in 2021 as a tough-but-fair ex-cop, and now, after a federal corruption indictment and the removal of his inner circle, is running on his policy successes and frankly fun personality.

Adams’ popularity stood at an all-time low of 20% in a poll last month. The business community was largely neutral on Adams, who they saw as a welcome if occasionally tiring return to moderation after the left-leaning, rich-baiting de Blasio era; they remain nostalgic for Mike Bloomberg’s three terms.

“There is going to be overwhelming support in the business community to rally around Adams,” said Richard Farley, a partner at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP who said he’s organizing a fundraiser for the mayor and has been speaking with some of Cuomo’s biggest donors. “This will be a street fight all the way to November.”

Adams’ path is “narrow,” acknowledged one adviser.

The business community is “struggling to understand the implications of Mamdani’s victory,” Kathy Wylde, CEO of Partnership for New York City, said in an interview. His focus on affordability tapped into “the financial insecurity young people feel and their anger that the established political class has done nothing to fix it. It’s not an endorsement of socialism but rather a rejection of the status quo, which threatens to bring on the kind of political instability that business hates.”

Asked about efforts to rally around Adams, a top political aide to Bloomberg responded with a shrug emoji.

Other executives mused about drafting a new candidate or rebranding one of this week’s also-rans who might look more attractive to centrists when stacked up against Mamdani — perhaps Whitney Tilson, the former money manager whose campaign got little traction but occasionally broke through with criticism of Mamdani, or Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who has repeatedly passed on more obvious opportunities to run.

Voters saw in Cuomo, the preferred candidate of business titans who bankrolled his campaign, an “uninspiring, bullying boomer Dad who couldn’t inspire people to leave a burning building and thought he could run an air campaign,” Farley said. “But they don’t want socialism, either.”

Bill Ackman, the new right’s Wall Street torchbearer, says he’s working on his own Plan B, with details to come.

Jeff Bezos Courts Trump for NASA Contracts Amid Fallout with Musk

Jun 26, 2025, 03:07 AM

Amazon AMZN +1.07% ▲ founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly lobbying U.S. President Donald Trump for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and defense contracts amid the controversial fallout between him and Elon Musk.

The billionaire’s space exploration company, Blue Origin, is vying for contracts against Musk’s SpaceX and is seeking to capitalize on the current rift between the frenemies.

The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.

Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp has also met with Susie Wiles, Trump’s Chief of Staff, to secure more contracts for the company.

Currently, SpaceX holds a larger share of the lucrative government contracts market, having recently signed a $5.9 billion Space force deal for 28 flights, while Blue Origin was awarded $2.4 billion for seven launches.

Blue Origin and SpaceX Compete for Space Contracts

Notably, SpaceX is currently far ahead of Blue Origin in the race. Musk’s space exploration company has successfully launched numerous rockets.

SpaceX was also instrumental in bringing back stranded astronauts, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, safely to Earth.

Additionally, SpaceX’s Dragon rocket regularly transports both astronauts and vital supplies to and from the International Space Station (ISS).

After the public showdown between Musk and Trump, the president decided to withdraw Musk’s nominee for the head of NASA and replaced him with his own choice.

Trump also threatened to cancel billions of dollars’ worth of government contracts with SpaceX to reduce the budget deficit.

In the meantime, Bezos is trying to get into Trump’s good books by inviting him to his star-studded wedding, though Trump is not expected to attend.

However, a bigger challenge awaits Blue Origin: demonstrating the company’s ability to successfully launch multiple rockets to space.

So far, the company has conducted only one mission, in January 2025, where its New Glenn rocket achieved a successful flight to orbit on the first attempt.

The second attempt, originally planned for Spring, did not take place, and Blue Origin is now targeting a mid-August launch.

Meanwhile, SpaceX has committed to 170 launches in 2025, including flights for its Starlink satellite services.

Likely Saturn-Mass Planet Imaged by NASA Webb Is Lightest Ever Seen

Jun 25, 2025

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have captured compelling evidence of a planet with a mass similar to Saturn orbiting the young nearby star TWA 7.

If confirmed, this would represent Webb’s first direct image discovery of a planet, and the lightest planet ever seen with this technique outside the solar system.

The international team detected a faint infrared source in the disk of debris surrounding TWA 7 using Webb’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument).

The distance between the source and TWA 7 is estimated to be about 50 times the distance of Earth from the Sun.

This matches the expected position of a planet that would explain key features seen in the debris disk. The results published Wednesday, June 25 in the journal Nature.

Image: TWA 7 (MIRI + VLT Image)

Using MIRI’s coronagraph, the researchers carefully suppressed the bright glare of the host star to reveal faint nearby objects.

This technique, called high-contrast imaging, enables astronomers to directly detect planets that would otherwise be lost in the overwhelming light from their host star.

After subtracting residual starlight using advanced image processing, a faint infrared source was revealed near TWA 7. The team ruled out an object in our solar system that happened to be in the same part of the sky as the source.

While there is a very small chance that it is a background galaxy, the evidence strongly points to the source being a previously undiscovered planet.

The source is located in a gap in one of three dust rings that were discovered around TWA 7 by previous ground-based observations.

The object’s brightness, color, distance from the star, and position within the ring are consistent with theoretical predictions for a young, cold, Saturn-mass planet that is expected to be sculpting the surrounding debris disk.

"Our observations reveal a strong candidate for a planet shaping the structure of the TWA 7 debris disk, and its position is exactly where we expected to find a planet of this mass," said Anne-Marie Lagrange, CNRS researcher at the Observatoire de Paris-PSL and Université Grenoble Alpes in France, lead author of the paper.

“This observatory enables us to capture images of planets with masses similar to those in the solar system, which represents an exciting step forward in our understanding of planetary systems, including our own,” added co-author Mathilde Malin of Johns Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.

Initial analysis suggests that the object — referred to as TWA 7 b — could be a young, cold planet with a mass around 0.3 times that of Jupiter (about 100 Earth masses, or one Saturn mass) and a temperature near 120 degrees Fahrenheit (47 degrees Celsius).

Its location aligns with a gap in the disk, hinting at a dynamic interaction between the planet and its surroundings.

Debris disks filled with dust and rocky material are found around both young and older stars, although they are more easily detected around younger stars as they are brighter.

They often feature visible rings or gaps, thought to be created by planets that have formed around the star, but such a planet has yet to be directly detected within a debris disk.

If verified, this discovery would mark the first time a planet has been directly associated with sculpting a debris disk, and could offer the first observational hint of a “trojan disk” — a collection of dust trapped in the planet’s orbit.

TWA 7, also known as CE Antilae, is a young (about 6.4 million years old) red dwarf star located about 34 light-years away in the TW Hydrae association. Its nearly face-on disk made it an ideal target for Webb’s high-sensitivity mid-infrared observations.

The findings highlight Webb’s ability to explore previously unseen, low-mass planets around nearby stars. Ongoing and future observations will aim to better constrain the properties of the candidate, verify its planetary status, and deepen our understanding of planet formation and disk evolution in young systems.

These observations were taken as part of the Webb observing program 3662.

Abbas says the Iran ceasefire is an important step toward defusing broader regional tensions.

The PA president thanked Trump for his recent “courageous” calls to end the war in Gaza.

“This constitutes an additional step in [your] important efforts toachieve a just and comprehensive peace between us, the Israelis, and the entire world,” Abbas writes.

The letter states Abbas “reiterated our full readiness to work closely with [Trump] and relevant Arab and international parties to immediately negotiate and implement a comprehensive peace agreement within a clear and binding timeframe that ends the occupation and achieves security and stability for all, a just and lasting peace.”

“With you, we can achieve what seemed impossible: a recognized, free, sovereign and secure Palestine, a recognized and secure Israel, and a region that enjoys peace, prosperity and integration,” Abbas tells Trump.

Abbas has been working for months to curry favor in the eyes of the Trump administration, signing a decree that ended a controversial policy that granted welfare stipends to the families of slain terrorists and Palestinian security prisoners based on the length of their sentence.

Abbas has repeatedly condemned Hamas and demanded the release of the hostages, and earlier this month, he condemned Hamas’s October 7 attack for the first time.

But Washington’s attention has largely been elsewhere, and its contacts with Ramallah have been very limited.US hostage envoy Adam Boehler held unprecedented meetings with Hamas officials earlier this year to try and secure the release of American hostages, while Trump has not spoken to Abbas since a November call in which the PA president congratulated Trump on his election victory.

NASA to grow habitats in space for explorers using bricks made from mycelium

June 26, 2025

Space habitats made of mycelium by NASA

NASA advances its research to grow habitats in space for explorers and researchers using bricks made from mycelium.

Called Mycotecture Off Planet, a team of researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, led by Lynn Rothschild, develops the project, which has recently received funding from NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program to continue their work.

The NASA team’s goal is to create mycelium-made habitats out of Earth that can be grown rather than delivered fully built to save weight and space on rockets and make it easier to set up safe shelters once astronauts arrive on the Moon or Mars.

Instead of launching large buildings, astronauts would take a lightweight, flat-packed structure made with dormant fungal materials, and once they land, they would add water to the structure.

Biomaterial project enters the third and final phase

By adding the liquid, the root-like network of mycelium would ‘wake up,’ and it would begin to grow and shape itself around the structure. Over time, the fungi would fill out the form and harden into a safe, livable shelter.

The whole system would be contained, meaning there’s no risk of the fungi spreading uncontrollably or harming the surrounding environments.

This project has already made a lot of progress in earlier phases of development, with the team having created several types of materials made from fungi, built sample structures, and tested how the materials perform in simulated space environments.

They’ve even added features like radiation shielding to make the habitats safer for humans and have also drawn up detailed plans for what a fungal moon habitat could look like.

Aside from using the mycelium habitats in space, NASA’s project could be useful on Earth since fungi could help clean water through filtration or extract useful minerals from wastewater and support efforts to fight climate change and pollution.

The team has now reached Phase III, which is the final and most advanced phase in the NIAC program, and from here, they expect to focus on improving the material’s strength, durability, and safety.

They also plan to begin preparing the technology for future tests in low Earth orbit, the region just outside Earth’s atmosphere where satellites and the International Space Station orbit, and if all goes well, the fungi-based habitat system could be used on commercial space stations, future Moon bases, and eventually even on Mars.

“Ramaphosa’s MTN ties fuel Starlink backlash”

https://www.pressreader.com/south-africa/the-sunday-independent/20250608/281513642101572

8 Jun 2025

MTN’s Digital Infrastructure Chief Executive Officer, Mazen Mroué, had, on December 14, 2023, while he was still the group’s chief technology and information officer, revealed that there were engagements with SpaceX’s Starlink, with enterprise-grade trials under way in Rwanda and Nigeria.

Former finance deputy minister Jonas was appointed MTN Group chairperson on June 1, 2018, and on April 14, 2025, Ramaphosa appointed him as his special envoy to the US with the responsibility of advancing South Africa's diplomatic, trade, and bilateral priorities.

Ramaphosa led the delegation to Washington to negotiate with Trump on May 21 to save South Africa/US trade agreements and recruit new investors.

The Presidency had listed Jonas as among the delegation, but he did not go due to his business commitments, although he had contributed to the preparation of that meeting.

Before the two leaders held a private meeting at the White House, there was a media brief¬ing in which the issue of genocide and crime was discussed. It was in that brief¬ing that South African billionaire Johann Rupert pleaded with Trump to assist South Africa with modern technology to ght crime and even suggested, in the presence of Musk, that Starlink should come to the country.

The negotiation took place before it was reported that Trump had fired Musk as his senior advisor and Department of Government Efficiency head.

Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Solly Malatsi raised eyebrows when, on May 23, two days after the White House meeting, issued a statement announcing the relaxation of the B-BBEE Act in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector to “allow qualifying multinationals to meet empowerment obligations through alternatives to 30% ownership”. This opened the floodgates of reaction, including from politicians and civil society groups who believed that Malatsi was facilitating the licensing of Starlink by bypassing B-BBEE requirements.

Iп a stυппiпg developmeпt that has rocked the televisioп iпdυstry, the hosts of ABC’s loпg-rυппiпg daytime talk showThe View have beeп hit with a $50 millioп fiпe aпd face the threat of a permaпeпt broadcast baпfollowiпg a lawsυit filed by former Fox News host Jeaпiпe Pirro. The legal actioп stems from aп explosive oп-air iпcideпt where Pirro claims she was pυblicly hυmiliated by the show’s paпel, who also braпded The View “the worst program iп US history.”The coпtroversy has igпited fierce debate aboυt media ethics, free speech, aпd accoυпtability iп daytime televisioп.

The iпcideпt occυrred dυriпg Pirro’s appearaпce oп The View to discυss her пew role as iпterim U.S. Attorпey for Washiпgtoп, D.C., aппoυпced by Presideпt Doпald Trυmp oп May 8, 2025. Accordiпg to soυrces, the coпversatioп qυickly tυrпed coпteпtioυs, with hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, aпdothers allegedly eпgagiпg iп a heated exchaпge that Pirro described as aп “orchestrated attack.”

Pirro, a former jυdge aпd prosecυtor kпowп for her fiery persoпa, claimed thehosts mocked her professioпal credeпtialsaпd made disparagiпg remarks aboυt her teпυre at Fox News, where she co-hosted The Five υпtil her departυre. The segmeпt cυlmiпated iп a пow-iпfamoυs momeпt wheп oпe host reportedly called The View “the worst program iп US history,” a jab Pirro took persoпally.

Pirro’s legal team swiftly filed a defamatioп lawsυit, argυiпg that the hosts’ remarks caυsed sigпificaпt repυtatioпal harm aпd emotioпal distress. The $50 millioп fiпe, a rare peпalty iп broadcastiпg, reflects the severity of the allegatioпs, with Pirro’s attorпeys citiпg the show’s history of seпsatioпalism.

Legal experts пote that the threat of a broadcast baп, while υпprecedeпted, coυld materialize if regυlators fiпd The View violated FCC staпdards of coпdυct.“This case highlights the fiпe liпe betweeп spirited debate aпd persoпal attacks,” said media law professor Jaпe Kirtley. “The coυrts are sigпaliпg that pυblic figυres deserve protectioп from malicioυs misrepreseпtatioп.”

The backlash has beeп swift. Faпs of Pirro, bolstered by posts oп X, have rallied υпder hashtags like #JυsticeForJeaпiпe, demaпdiпg accoυпtability. Oпe viral post read, “The View’s hosts crossed a liпe hυmiliatiпg Jυdge Jeaпiпe. Time for coпseqυeпces!” Meaпwhile, The View’s sυpporters argυe the show’s coпfroпtatioпal style is its hallmark, aпd Pirro, пo straпger to coпtroversy, shoυld have aпticipated toυgh qυestioпiпg.

Critics argυe Pirro’s owп history of provocative rhetoric υпdermiпes her claims, while her sυpporters see the lawsυit as a staпd agaiпst media overreach.

The case has sparked broader coпversatioпs aboυt the state of daytime televisioп,where seпsatioпalism ofteп overshadows sυbstaпce.

As The View пavigates this crisis,advertisers are reportedly recoпsideriпg partпerships, wary of pυblic backlash. The oυtcome coυld reshape how talk shows haпdle coпtroversial gυests, with implicatioпs for media ethics aпd accoυпtability.

For пow, Pirro’s bold move has placed The View υпder a microscope, leaviпg faпs aпd critics alike woпderiпg if the show caп sυrvive this storm or if her words will mark the begiппiпg of its eпd.

NASA’s Chandra Shares a New View of Our Galactic Neighbor

Jun 25, 2025

The Andromeda galaxy, also known as Messier 31 (M31), is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years.

Astronomers use Andromeda to understand the structure and evolution of our own spiral, which is much harder to do since Earth is embedded inside the Milky Way.

The galaxy M31 has played an important role in many aspects of astrophysics, but particularly in the discovery of dark matter.

In the 1960s, astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleagues studied M31 and determined that there was some unseen matter in the galaxy that was affecting how the galaxy and its spiral arms rotated.

This unknown material was named “dark matter.” Its nature remains one of the biggest open questions in astrophysics today, one which NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is designed to help answer.

This new composite image contains data of M31 taken by some of the world’s most powerful telescopes in different kinds of light.

This image includes X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s (European Space Agency’s) XMM-Newton (represented in red, green, and blue); ultraviolet data from NASA’s retired GALEX (blue); optical data from astrophotographers using ground based telescopes (Jakob Sahner and Tarun Kottary); infrared data from NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, the Infrared Astronomy Satellite, COBE, Planck, and Herschel (red, orange, and purple); and radio data from the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (red-orange).

Each type of light reveals new information about this close galactic relative to the Milky Way.

For example, Chandra’s X-rays reveal the high-energy radiation around the supermassive black hole at the center of M31 as well as many other smaller compact and dense objects strewn across the galaxy.

A recent paper about Chandra observations of M31 discusses the amount of X-rays produced by the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy over the last 15 years.

One flare was observed in 2013, which appears to represent an amplification of the typical X-rays seen from the black hole.

These multi-wavelength datasets are also being released as a sonification, which includes the same wavelengths of data in the new composite.

In the sonification, the layer from each telescope has been separated out and rotated so that they stack on top of each other horizontally, beginning with X-rays at the top and then moving through ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and radio at the bottom.

As the scan moves from left to right in the sonification, each type of light is mapped to a different range of notes, from lower-energy radio waves up through the high energy of X-rays.

Meanwhile, the brightness of each source controls volume, and the vertical location dictates the pitch.

This new image of M31 is released in tribute to the groundbreaking legacy of Dr. Vera Rubin, whose observations transformed our understanding of the universe.

Rubin’s meticulous measurements of Andromeda’s rotation curve provided some of the earliest and most convincing evidence that galaxies are embedded in massive halos of invisible material — what we now call dark matter.

Her work challenged long-held assumptions and catalyzed a new era of research into the composition and dynamics of the cosmos.

In recognition of her profound scientific contributions, the United States Mint has recently released a quarter in 2025 featuring Rubin as part of its American Women Quarters Program — making her the first astronomer honored in the series.

John Casani, Former Manager of Multiple NASA Missions, Dies

Jun 25, 2025

During his work on several historic missions, Casani rose through a series of technical and management positions, making an indelible mark on the nation’s space program.

John R. Casani, a visionary engineer who served a central role in many of NASA’s historic deep space missions, died on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at the age of 92.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 39 years, Lynn Casani, in 2008 and is survived by five sons and their families.

Casani started at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California in 1956 and went on to work as an electronics engineer on some of the nation’s earliest spacecraft after NASA’s formation in 1958.

Along with leading the design teams for both the Ranger and Mariner series of spacecraft, he held senior project positions on many of the Mariner missions to Mars and Venus, and was project manager for three trailblazing space missions: Voyager, Galileo, and Cassini.

His work helped advance NASA spacecraft in areas including mechanical technology, system design and integration, software, and deep space communications.

No less demanding were the management challenges of these multifaceted missions, which led to innovations still in use today.

“John had a major influence on the development of spacecraft that visited almost every planet in our solar system, as well as the people who helped build them,” said JPL director Dave Gallagher.

“He played an essential role in America’s first attempts to reach space and then the Moon, and he was just as crucial to the Voyager spacecraft that marked humanity’s first foray into interplanetary — and later, interstellar — space.

That Voyager is still exploring after nearly 50 years is a testament to John’s remarkable engineering talent and his leadership that enabled others to push the boundaries of possibility.”

Born in Philadelphia in 1932, Casani studied electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.

After a short stint at an Air Force research lab, he moved to California in 1956 and was hired to work at JPL, a division of Caltech, on the guidance system for the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency’s Jupiter-C and Sergeant missile programs.

In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first human-made Earth satellite, alarming America and changing the trajectory of both JPL and Casani’s career.

With the 1958 launch of Explorer 1, America’s first satellite, the lab transitioned to concentrating on robotic space explorers, and Casani segued from missiles to spacecraft.

One of his jobs as payload engineer on Pioneer 3 and 4, NASA’s first missions to the Moon, was to carry each of the 20-inch-long (51-cm-long) probes in a suitcase from JPL to the launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida, where he installed them in the rocket’s nose cone.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Scours Mars for Science

Jun 25, 2025

On June 3, NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover ground down a portion of a rock surface, blew away the resulting debris, and then went to work studying its pristine interior with a suite of instruments designed to determine its mineralogic makeup and geologic origin.

“Kenmore,” as nicknamed by the rover science team, is the 30th Martian rock that Perseverance has subjected to such in-depth scrutiny, beginning with drilling a two-inch-wide (5-centimeter-wide) abrasion patch.

“Kenmore was a weird, uncooperative rock,” said Perseverance’s deputy project scientist, Ken Farley from Caltech in Pasadena, California.

“Visually, it looked fine — the sort of rock we could get a good abrasion on and perhaps, if the science was right, perform a sample collection.

But during abrasion, it vibrated all over the place and small chunks broke off. Fortunately, we managed to get just far enough below the surface to move forward with an analysis.”

The science team wants to get below the weathered, dusty surface of Mars rocks to see important details about a rock’s composition and history.

Grinding away an abrasion patch also creates a flat surface that enables Perseverance’s science instruments to get up close and personal with the rock.

Time to Grind

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, each carried a diamond-dust-tipped grinder called the Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) that spun at 3,000 revolutions per minute as the rover’s robotic arm pushed it deeper into the rock.

Two wire brushes then swept the resulting debris, or tailings, out of the way. The agency’s Curiosity rover carries a Dust Removal Tool, whose wire bristles sweep dust from the rock’s surface before the rover drills into the rock.

Perseverance, meanwhile, relies on a purpose-built abrading bit, and it clears the tailings with a device that surpasses wire brushes: the gaseous Dust Removal Tool, or gDRT.

“We use Perseverance’s gDRT to fire a 12-pounds-per-square-inch (about 83 kilopascals) puff of nitrogen at the tailings and dust that cover a freshly abraded rock,” said Kyle Kaplan, a robotic engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

“Five puffs per abrasion — one to vent the tanks and four to clear the abrasion. And gDRT has a long way to go. Since landing at Jezero Crater over four years ago, we’ve puffed 169 times.

There are roughly 800 puffs remaining in the tank.” The gDRT offers a key advantage over a brushing approach: It avoids any terrestrial contaminants that might be on a brush from getting on the Martian rock being studied.
