Meteorites and asteroids fascinate planetary scientists because they represent the building blocks of planets and offer unique insights into the earliest moments of our solar system. Meteorites can be identified as such because of their unique chemical signatures, and some types (iron meteorites) show beautiful textures called Widmanstätten patterns, which could only form over millions of years. Additionally, these extraterrestrial materials are important for their potential as in-situ resources for space exploration and industrialization, with the most attention given to water (important for habitability, human exploration, and rocket fuel) and rare earth elements....

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said despite “many delayed efforts to reach a freely negotiated settlement,” talks with the provincial government have once again “broken down.” “I urge the Ford administration to seize the time we have and do the right thing.

By JOHN LEICESTER, The Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian missile barrage on Ukraine’s power grid sent the war spilling over into neighboring countries Tuesday, hitting NATO member Poland and cutting power to much of Moldova. It was Russia’s largest barrage to date and some of the missiles crossed into Poland, where two people were killed, according to a US official. It was the first time in the war that Russian weapons landed in a NATO country....

Prince George RCMP say some remains of an Indigenous homicide victim were found in a downtown park last month, 32 years after the woman was killed. On Wednesday, police identified the woman as Donna Charlie, who was 22 when she died. Family members say she is from Kwadacha, also known as Fort Ware, a remote community in northern B.C. Her remains were found in October in Connaught Hill Park, a popular wooded park above Prince George’s town hall....

Comment PHILADELPHIA — Taylor Heinicke said he wasn’t paying attention. He said he didn’t give much thought to the possibility Monday night could be his last start if Carson Wentz returns to the active roster from his broken finger ready to start. His concern, he said last week, was winning. And to win a game against the NFL’s last undefeated team, he had to help his Commanders get third downs, sustain drives and be consistent – all things Washington has typically failed to do....

Trudeau discussed his concerns about Chinese “interference activities” in Canada on the sidelines of a Group of 20 meeting on the Indonesian island of Bali, a government source told AFP. It came a day after Canadian police announced espionage charges against a battery researcher at Canada’s biggest energy producer, alleging he tried to steal trade secrets for China, and amid warnings that Beijing was trying to undermine Canada’s democracy. China’s embassy in Ottawa did not immediately respond to a request to confirm the meeting or the points of discussion....

+++ 03:59 Ukraine fordert Flugverbotszone nach Raketenangriff in Polen +++Die Ukraine drängt auf eine Flugverbotszone im Westen, nachdem eine Rakete polnisches Territorium getroffen und zwei Menschen getötet hat. „Wir fordern, dass der Himmel geschlossen wird, weil der Himmel keine Grenzen hat“, twitterte Verteidigungsminister Oleksiy Reznikov.

UPDATE: 5:25 p.m A year after flooding swept through Princeton and forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes, the city still has a long way to go before it fully recovers. Mayor Spencer Coyne said Tuesday that while things may look better, there are many hidden difficulties. Drinking water is still unavailable for many residents, pending permission to begin infrastructure construction. The apartment buildings destroyed by the floods remain in ruins, along with the houses....

The Magen David Adom paramedic said the two were killed in the Ariel settlement. The four injured were taken to hospital in serious condition. It was the latest attack in a wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence this year that has included Palestinian attackers targeting Israeli civilians and almost nightly Israeli arrest raids that have sparked unrest in the occupied territories. The Israeli military said the man first attacked people at the entrance to the settlement’s industrial zone and then stabbed more people at a nearby gas station....

“When they gave that notice, you immediately knew something was up because I’ve never in my life received a notice written like that,” he explained. “So we pretty much knew it was going to be something big.” The announcement came at 11:00 a.m., and the 190 workers in the union, as well as wage earners and management positions, will be furloughed and the plant closed. “It’s a blow for us....

Cortez Masto entered the 2022 midterm elections as one of the most threatened sitting senators as Republicans sought to take advantage of poor economic conditions and an unpopular Democratic president. After a historically expensive Senate race that saw tens of millions of dollars pour into Nevada airwaves, he has come out on top — if only, ahead by less than 1 percentage point as of Monday afternoon. Now, the nation’s first Latina senator returns to a divided Washington, amid expectations that Republicans will have a slim majority in the House and that the Democratic majority in the Senate will not be able to expand beyond 50 or 51 seats, depending with the results of the Georgia Senate runoff next month....

“I don’t believe we need this heavy-handed of a mandate,” Henry said. “I don’t see the need for a mask mandate per se because we have so many other tools and a high level of protection.” Henry said the previous mask mandates were imposed when COVID-19 vaccines were not available for children and when there was a high rate of illness and absenteeism among adults and restrictions on gathering. “In that context, masks were important and necessary....

Die Premiere der „Tagesschau“ im neuen Studio verlief reibungslos. Aber das Design gibt etwas zu erzählen. Die technische Ausstattung wirkt altbacken und Moderator Florian Inhauser ist laut Twitter-Nutzer vom Logo überwältigt. Die Hauptausgaben „Tagesschau“ und „10vor10“ erscheinen mit neuem Gesicht und werden ab sofort aus dem Nachrichten- und Sportzentrum ausgestrahlt. Das alte Studio habe ausgedient und eine 17-jährige Ära gehe zu Ende, teilte SRF gestern auf Twitter zur Doppelstudio-Premiere mit....

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy hopes to pass a crucial test Tuesday in his campaign to become speaker of the House, despite an underwhelming midterm election performance that has set off a search among conservatives for a challenger. A week after Election Day, CNN has yet to predict whether Republicans will win the House. But McCarthy is confident he will win a majority of the House GOP vote Tuesday to lead his caucus — and win in January the 218 votes needed to hold the speaker’s gavel....

Mais pendant la vidéo, aucun des intervenants ne peut contredire les affirmations d’Emmanuel Macron. Après avoir passé en revue les douze minutes de réponses, 20 Minutes a notamment relevé une imprécision lorsque le chef de l’Etat a répondu à l’influenceur climatique Bon Pote. « Quand allez-vous mettre en œuvre les mesures proposées par la Convention citoyenne pour le climat et tenir parole ? a demandé le blogueur. Pour démontrer son action, le président de la République citait typiquement l’exemple de la suppression des vols intérieurs en France, qui faisait partie des 146 propositions approuvées par l’Assemblée....
