CNN —DNA found in a piece of discarded chewing gum led to the arrest and conviction of a suspect in a 1980 cold case murder in Oregon, prosecutors say. Robert Plympton, 60, was found guilty last week on one count of first-degree murder and four counts of second-degree murder in the killing of Mt. Nineteen-year-old Tucker was “kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and beaten to death” on January 15, 1980, the release states. Witness heard screamingBarbara Tucker Tucker Family/Gresham Police DepartmentWitnesses had seen a woman in apparent distress around the time of the murder, the document from the DA’s office states. DNA pulled from the gum matched the profile from the autopsy swabs and Plympton was arrested on June 8, 2021.

☆ Webb telescope spots never-before-seen jet stream in Jupiter’s atmosphere

The astronomers spied a high-speed jet stream in Jupiter’s lower stratosphere, an atmospheric layer about 25 miles (40 kilometers) above the clouds. “What we have always seen as blurred hazes in Jupiter’s atmosphere now appear as crisp features that we can track along with the planet’s fast rotation,” he said. Jet stream revelationsResearchers compared winds detected by Webb at high altitudes with those within the lower layers picked up by Hubble and tracked changes in wind speed. Both space observatories were necessary to detect the jet stream, as Webb spotted small cloud features and Hubble provided a look at the equatorial atmosphere, including storms not related to the jet. Future observations of Jupiter using the Webb telescope may uncover more insights into the jet stream, such as whether its speed and altitude shift over time, as well as other surprises.

☆ Neptune’s disappearing clouds linked to solar cycle

The findings are “extremely exciting and unexpected, especially since Neptune’s previous period of low cloud activity was not nearly as dramatic and prolonged,” Chavez added. The findings also contradict the idea of the clouds being affected by Neptune’s four seasons, which each last about 40 years. Additionally, Neptune storms rising from the deep atmosphere do influence the planet’s cloud cover — but aren’t related to clouds formed in the upper atmosphere. That variable could interfere with studies looking at correlations between photochemically produced clouds and the solar cycle. More research could also suggest how long the near absence of clouds on Neptune might last.

☆ Webb telescope spies clouds beneath haze of Saturn moon Titan

CNN —The James Webb Space Telescope has spied clouds on one of the solar system’s most intriguing moons. Titan’s atmosphere is made of nitrogen and methane, which gives it a fuzzy, orange appearance. Astronomers compared Webb (left) and Keck images of Titan to see how clouds evolved. The data, which is still being analyzed, was able to see deeper into Titan’s atmosphere and surface than the Cassini spacecraft, which orbited Saturn and its moons for 13 years. The cloud observations were a long time coming.

☆ Climate Change Forces French Vineyards to Alter the Way They Make Wine

BORDEAUX, France—The wildfire began on an usually dry summer day in a forest bordering the Liber Pater vineyard. Winemaker Loïc Pasquet saw the flames rise and spread toward his precious vines, which produce Bordeaux that sells for $30,000 a bottle. Hours before evacuating Mr. Pasquet and his staff destroyed the grass around the vineyard to prevent it from catching fire and dug trenches to block the blaze’s path. He also sprayed local trees with water drawn from the vineyard’s ponds. The vineyard was spared.

(video) Festivalul de Film Göteborg caută un voluntar care se va izola pe o insulă pentru a viziona 60 de premiere de filmFestivalul de Film Göteborg se desfășoară în condiții speciale anul acesta. Prin tragere la sorți, un participant va fi ales să vizioneze filmele izolat pe o insulă din Marea Nordului. Împreună cu câștigătorul, va fi lăsat doar angajatul festivalului, acesta va oferi acces temporar la o tabletă sau computer pentru înregistrarea videoclipurilor. Pentru a participa, trebuie să trimiteți o CERERE în care urmează să spuneți reprezentanților festivalului de film de ce ar trebui să fiți izolați la far. Scrisorile sunt acceptate până pe 17 ianuarie, după care juriul va selecta cele mai interesante aplicații și va organiza un interviu online cu autorii lor.
