Looking at this terrain, it is probably not surprising to you that looking uphill into the tilted bedrock slabs and thin resistant veins jutting up in all directions makes it hard to plan our next move.

For all its brilliant complexity, the Milky Way is rather unremarkable as galaxies go. At least, that's how Mark Vogelsberger sees it. "Our galaxy has a couple features that might be a bit surprising, like the exact number of structures and satellites around it," Vogelsberger muses. "But if you average over a lot of metrics, the Milky Way is actually a rather normal place."

China launched a group of remote-sensing satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Wednesday.
The second group of the Yaogan-32 satellite family was launched by a Long March-2C rocket with an attached upper stage at 3:43 p.m. (Beijing Time) and entered the planned orbit.
This was the 394th mission of the Long March rocket series.

TRUTHS shapes up
Wednesday, 03 November 2021 14:00
ESA’s new TRUTHS mission is taking shape. Highlighted today at COP26, this new mission is moving from its feasibility phase into its preliminary design phase. TRUTHS is set to provide measurements of incoming solar radiation and of radiation reflected from Earth back out into space as traceable International System of Units. These measurements will allow changes in Earth’s climate to be detected faster, and they will be used to calibrate data from other satellites. In effect, TRUTHS will be a ‘standards laboratory in space’, setting the ‘gold standard’ for climate measurements.
