🌖🔭Roth, Retherford, Saur et al revise their 2014 paper: In a reanalysis of 23 #HST/ #STIS #Lyα observations, the authors revisit & revise their earlier #Europa water plume interpretation.
With improved disk positioning & inclusion of a #hydrogen-#exosphere model, the previously reported localized Lyα excess becomes substantially less significant & may be consistent with noise. The data instead robustly support a persistent atomic H exosphere.

Hubble erfasst unerwartet das Auseinanderbrechen eines Kometen

Der Komet K1, dessen vollständiger Name Komet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) lautet, hatte gerade seinen sonnennächsten Punkt hinter sich gebracht und bewegte sich aus dem Sonnensystem hinaus. Obwohl er noch wenige Tage zuvor intakt gewesen war, zerbrach K1 in mindestens vier Teile, während das Hubble-Weltraumteleskop der NASA/ESA ihn beobachtete. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass dies gerade während der Beobachtung durch Hubble geschieht, ist außerordentlich gering.
Nearly ⅔ of the #funding is unspent money allocated to state & local #PublicHealth departments in #California.
“These grants are being terminated because they do not reflect agency priorities,” a spox for the #HHS said. About 2 dozen of the grants were aimed at curbing #HIV & other sexually transmitted infections [#STIs].
Dr. Deb Houry, who served as the #CDC’s chief medical officer before she resigned in August, noted that #Congress had already appropriated the funds.
DOGE is gone, leaving behind 300,000 fired federal workers, 600,000 USAID deaths, and more
