NASA analysed an asteroid and revealed that key molecules required for life on Earth were found.
This suggests that the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread across the solar system, increasing the odds of life having formed on other planets and moons.

The 4 maps I did for David Parnell's book "Belisarius & Antonina" recently got a shoutout in a review in the BMCR:
“A minor aspect of this book worthy of mention is the maps...They are both useful and unusually attractive.”
If you're reviewing a book, give a though to the maps. Someone drew them!

Vermont and New York recently became the first states to create “Climate Superfund” laws, which will require energy companies to help pay for the costs of dealing with extreme weather and climate change. As wildfires devastate the L.A. area, some are asking if California could become the third.
