NASA’s Psyche mission will launch to an unexplored metal world this fall

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:52 GMT

(CNN) — The first NASA spacecraft designed to study a metallic asteroid is now set to launch in October, according to a Monday announcement made by the agency.The endeavor, known as the Psyche mission, was originally expected to lift off in 2022. But the launch window opened on August 1 and closed October 11 before the spacecraft’s flight software was ready.During testing at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, engineers discovered a compatibility issue in the software’s test bed simulators. The issue was corrected, but there wasn’t enough time for a full checkout and launch in 2022.An independent review board has found that steps taken by NASA and the California Institute of Technology to get the delayed mission back on track, including work on the mission as well as institutional steps, have been “outstanding,” according to the announcement.The review board, which convened last summer when delays became evident in June 2022, provided a report with recommendati...

Smoke and Showers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:52 GMT

Temps climbed into the mid 70s yesterday, which was certainly a welcomed change of pace, but we also had to deal with scattered afternoon storms and a smoky sky. With a high level of smoke making it’s way down to ground level, at times the air quality was poor/unhealthy for southern New England. While the density of the smoke today is not as high as yesterday, residual smoke is creating a haze to the sky and prompting another air quality alert for today. Temps today run 65-70 this afternoon with more clouds than sun, and occasionally, a passing sprinkle/shower. The rain showers are hit or miss, so not all towns will see one. The thunder threat is lower today vs. yesterday too. Tomorrow, pretty much a repeat pattern. Friday too. We will have a bit of a higher chance for scattered showers/storms to pop-up Friday vs. the next couple days, but the flavor of the day is the same. Saturday, not too many changes are in storm as highs run 65-70 and a few more isolated storms pop. With...

Howie Carr: Taxachusetts – it’s back

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:52 GMT

Why are we still here in Massachusetts?Because we’re not all there.Someone told me that joke recently, and it seemed appropriate for what’s going on. I mean, everything has been spiraling out of control here for quite some time. But it seems to be getting worse, crazier, not making any sense whatsoever.Just to take one example – nip bottles of alcohol. There’s a movement to outlaw the little mini-containers, and I get it.Winos chug them – the smaller the bottle, the larger the problem. They increase litter. And perhaps worst of all, they’re easy to hide and drink while you’re driving.Remember what they found in Rep. David “Sleepy” LeBouef’s wrecked car when he was lugged for driving legless last year — multiple containers of Dr. McGillicuddy’s non-prescription Wild Grape elixirs.So you can understand why it might be good public policy to get rid of nips. Yet at the same moment, some legislators on Beacon Hill are pushing to allow barrooms to sell mixed drinks to go.How does th...

Six things we learned from the Orioles’ first 60 games

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:52 GMT

In the major leagues, 60 games is still a relatively unreliable sample size.Great players have had unspectacular 60-game stretches, and bad ones have put up stellar stats across that sample. Just a few years ago, however, 60 games was all there was.Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Major League Baseball held a 60-game season, in which the rebuilding Orioles went 25-35 before losing 110 games in 2021. For the Orioles in 2020, José Iglesias hit .373, Renato Núñez was on a full-season pace to hit 32 home runs and Chance Sisco had a better OPS than Austin Hays.Given those examples, it’s safe to assume the numbers the Orioles have put up thus far — whether good or bad — are far from set in stone. Through 60 games this year, Baltimore is 37-23 — 12 games better than its start in 2022 and its first time above .500 at this point since 2017.That doesn’t mean, of course, that nothing can be gleaned from the first two-plus months of the season.
