☆ NASA’s Curiosity rover makes its ‘most unexpected’ find on Mars
  + stars: | 2024-07-20 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
CNN —The Curiosity rover has made its most unusual find to date on Mars: rocks made of pure sulfur. “I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” said Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Previously, while exploring Mars, NASA’s Spirit rover broke one of its wheels and had to drag it along while using the other five to drive backward. And Vasavada says it’s what inspired the team to “look behind” the Curiosity rover — otherwise they wouldn’t have seen the crushed sulfur. To determine what process formed the sulfur rocks, the team considered nearby bedrock instead.

☆ First confirmed moon cave could provide future astronauts shelter

The surface feature is Mare Tranquillitatis, or the Sea of Tranquility, where the Apollo 11 mission landed on the afternoon of July 20, 1969. Scientists have discovered a large lunar cave connected to a pit found within the moon's Sea of Tranquility. NASA/Goddard/Arizona State UniversityScientists have found a subterranean cavity beneath the Sea of Tranquility, and it may provide shelter for future lunar astronauts in the form of a cave. Lunar caves, or underground passages formed by volcanic processes during the moon’s early history, are connected to pits covering the lunar surface. The long, wide cave, found by reviewing archival NASA data, could be used to protect astronauts from harsh radiation and extreme temperature swings as well as provide a new avenue to study lunar rocks.

☆ Curiosity rover captures colorful postcard of Mars
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —The Curiosity rover has captured a stunning new mosaic that reveals the dramatic, colorful hues of morning and afternoon light on the surface of Mars. One panorama was taken at 9:20 a.m., while the other was taken at 3:40 p.m., both local Mars time. The image is similar to another postcard taken by Curiosity in November 2021. Curiosity has been exploring the foothills of the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer) Mount Sharp at the center of Gale Crater since it landed in 2012. “Mars’ shadows get sharper and deeper when there’s low dust and softer when there’s lots of dust,” Ellison said.

☆ Why the case is growing for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut before year end
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Eric Rosenbaum | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +11 min
The Fed will get to 5%, but quickly start to retreat so that the year-end rate is going to be 4.6%, according to the Fed Survey. The Fed interest rate policy path is pretty clear for the next few months of Federal Reserve FOMC meetings. Fear of recession dipped in the latest Fed Survey, but it's still elevated, with 51% of respondents expecting a recession. The Fed Survey doesn't have a positive outlook on growth for 2023, but isn't forecasting negative growth either. But one consumer CFO did say that the way price increases are "pushed through" is becoming more strategic as opposed to across-the-board.
