"This comet got observed because our original comet was not viewable due to some new technical constraints after we won our proposal. We had to find a new target -- and righ

Как отличить двойную планету от планеты с большим спутником

Айзек Азимов известен как классик научной фантастики, но не так знамениты его работы по популяризации науки. Некоторые его научно-популярные книги переводились на русский язык, например, «Путеводитель по науке», близкий по жанру к детской энциклопедии и выходивший в издательстве «Центрполиграф» в 2004 году. Но сравнительно малоизвестной осталась другая его книга «Двойная планета», написанная в 1960 году и рассматривающая Землю и Луну как парную планету, а не просто планету и спутник. Читать...

U.S. State Bans on Lab-Grown Meats Challenged in Court

Last June Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said in a statement that Texans "have a God-given right to know what's on their plate, and for millions of Texans, it better come from a pasture, not a lab. It's plain cowboy logic that we must safeguard our real, authentic meat industry from synthetic alternatives." But California company Wildtype sells lab-grown salmon — and is suing Texas over its ban on cell-cultivated... Read more

But it took a while... The plant's first construction delay happened back in 2019, they point out — and then "Just three months ago, when the project was 95% complete, the U.S. Interior Department issued a stop-work order." But after successfully challenging that... Read more
