This is fucking batshit. I will never forgive the red hat death cult for what they have done to science.

Caltech could lose control of JPL for the first time
The action forces Caltech to compete for control of the La Cañada Flintridge institution it has managed since NASA’s inception in 1958.Corinne Purtill (Los Angeles Times)

NASA’s experimental X-59 aircraft has flown faster than the speed of sound in a recent test flight. Pilot Jim "Clue" Less reached a top speed of approximately Mach 1.1 (1,147 km/h) and an altitude of 13,228 metres flying out and back from Edwards Air Force Base in California. The X-59 is designed to fly at supersonic speeds while creating only a quiet thump instead of a loud sonic boom. @euronews has more:

Ever wonder why stars are missing from Apollo moon landing photos? It isn't a mystery—it’s simple photography. Because the lunar surface and white spacesuits reflect intense sunlight, astronauts had to use fast shutter speeds and low sensitivity, just like taking a photo on a bright day on Earth. These settings prioritize the bright foreground, making distant, faint stars invisible to the lens. If you boost the exposure on the original files, that starlight often appears in the background. The black sky isn't a sign of a conspiracy; it's just proof of a perfectly exposed photo in high-contrast conditions.
