My favorite Europeans are nine years old A view from a school in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine

This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant.

The Cartwheel Galaxy (also known as ESO 350-40 or PGC 2248) is a lenticular galaxy and ring galaxy about 500 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. It is an estimated 150,000 light-years diameter, and has a mass of about 2.9–4.8 Γ— 1000000000 solar masses; its outer ring has a circular velocity of 217 km/s.

A reporter hunts for β€˜Carol of the Bells’ birthplace – in Ukraine Over a century ago, a Ukrainian choirmaster wrote what became known as the β€œCarol of the Bells.” Our writer sought out its birthplace in Pokrovsk.

Over a century ago at a historical moment similar to today’s, a Ukrainian choirmaster composed a piece of music that became an iconic Christmas carol. Using an old photograph, our writer sought out its birthplace in the besieged city of Pokrovsk. Ukraine #Christmas #music

Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker top half of the image, while a glowing pale-yellow, cave-like structure is bottom centre, tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its centre. The dust of the cave structure becomes wispy toward eight o’clock. Above the arched top of the dust cave three groupings of stars with diffraction spikes are arranged. A dark cloud sits at the top of the arch of the glowing dust cave, with one streamer curling down the right-hand side. The dark shadow of the cloud appears pinched in the centre, with light emerging in a triangle shape above and below the pinch, revealing the presence of a star inside the dark cloud. The image’s largest jets of red material emanate from within this dark cloud, thick and displaying structure like the rough face of a cliff, glowing brighter at the edges. At the top centre of the image, a star displays another, larger pinched dark shadow, this time vertically.

Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is the closest star-forming region to Earth, and producing several sun-like stars each year.

In Syria, what remains of Iran’s regional β€˜Axis’ is rubble and resentment First Hamas, then Hezbollah, now Syria. As key components of Iran’s anti-Israel/anti-U.S. β€œAxis of Resistance” are sidelined or incapacitated, what is left of Tehran’s regional strategy?

First Hamas in Gaza, then Hezbollah in Lebanon, now the Assad regime in Syria. With key components of Iran’s β€œAxis of Resistance” diminished or defeated, what is left of Tehran’s expensive strategy for regional dominance? #Syria #Assad #Iran www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle...
