The ISS has been leaking air for 5 years, and engineers still don’t know why

FreeCAD 1.0 is out, and the binaries for various platforms are now available for download too (yesterday they released the source, but today binaries are available too). After 22 years of development, it's now a very robust app that competes head to head with heavyweights in the CAD space.

It got a bit lost with everything else going on this week, but my (high school!) research student, Jack, has been working with me on building a low-cost home radio telescope to map Galactic 21 cm features, and his tutorial for others to do the same is now up on arXiv:

Galactic Neutral Hydrogen Structures Spectroscopy and Kinematics: Designing a Home Radio Telescope for 21 cm Emission
This study presents the methodology for creating a cost-efficient radio astronomy telescope that can be used to detect 21 cm emissions (1420.405 MHz) and determine the distribution and kinematics of neutral hydrogen specifically in the Milky Way.arXiv.org
