Why is the European Space Agency beaming a waltz at NASA's Voyager 1 probe this weekend?

Former President Trump plans to withdraw Jared Isaacman—a close ally of Elon Musk—as his nominee for a top NASA position after discovering Isaacman's donations to Democratic causes. Isaacman's ties to Musk's SpaceX, a major NASA contractor, added intrigue to the nomination.

A federal judge is weighing whether a climate lawsuit filed by Charleston, S.C., against major oil companies could be derailed by a Trump-era executive order. The city claims these companies misled the public about climate risks, while the order argues such cases threaten national security by targeting energy producers. Meanwhile, Charleston is already taking action—like building a sea wall—to protect its downtown from rising seas, underscoring the urgency behind the lawsuit.

The White House is backtracking on Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA, citing the need for an administrator who fully supports President Trump’s priorities. Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur and astronaut, was initially seen as a bold pick, but now the administration wants someone more politically aligned.

Editor’s Note: NASA’s direction is often shaped by whoever’s in the White House, and this move signals Trump wants tighter control over the agency’s goals—whether that’s moon missions, Mars ambitions, or other priorities. It’s a reminder that even space exploration isn’t immune to political winds.

** Imagine never having to scramble to catch a meteor shower or rocket launch again. This article highlights a handy way to sync your calendar with celestial events—like eclipses, space missions, and even stunning cosmic sightings (like the James Webb Telescope’s snap of galaxy NGC 1512). It’s basically a cosmic reminder system for stargazers and space enthusiasts.

Scientists have created a super-thin, wearable "e-tattoo" that sticks to your forehead like a temporary sticker. This nifty gadget uses brainwave and eye movement tracking (EEG and EOG tech, if you're into the jargon) to monitor mental strain in real time—perfect for firefighters, pilots, or anyone in high-pressure jobs where focus is everything.

Editor’s Note: Burnout and mental fatigue in critical jobs can have serious consequences—imagine an air traffic controller zoning out during a busy shift. This discreet tech could help prevent accidents by flagging when someone’s cognitive load is maxed out, potentially saving lives. Plus, it’s way less clunky than old-school brain-monitoring gear, which is a win for practicality.
