Antartide: campagna decisiva per raggiungere il ghiaccio di 1,5 milioni di anni fa | PNRA

È iniziata in Antartide la quarta campagna del progetto Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice. Un team internazionale di 16 scienziati e personale logistico è impegnato nel sito remoto di Little Dome C, situato a un'altitudine di 3.200 metri con temperature medie estive di -35°C. L'obiettivo è estrarre una carota di ghiaccio profonda 2.750 metri dalla calotta antartica.

Juno's primary mission ended in July 2021. The mission was then extended until 2025, with 42 additional orbits, including close passes of Jupiter’s north polar cyclones; flybys of Ganymede, Europa, and Io; as well as the first extensive exploration of the faint rings encircling the planet.
The later orbits spend more time inside Jupiter's ferocious radiation belts, risking damage to spacecraft electronics.

NASA’s Juno Mission Expands Into the Future

The spacecraft, which has been gathering data on the gas giant since July 2016, will become an explorer of the full Jovian system – Jupiter and its rings and moons.

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

So with evidence mounting that AI will just make things up rather than admit it doesn't know, I think it's safe to use male pronouns.

Happy (belated) solstice! Last night was the longest of the year (for northern hemisphere folks) and I'm excited to get a little more daylight day after day!

I'm making biscuits to celebrate, what's your favourite recipe?
