NASA's Curiosity rover has captured a striking new view of Mars as it passed a major mission milestone: 5,000 Martian days on the Red Planet. While stopped at a sandy ridge nicknamed "Chocolatal," Curiosity used its navigation cameras to photograph the surrounding landscape at two different times of day. The cameras normally capture images in black and white.

When I was in public school in Renton in the 1950s and 1960s, I never turned out for organized sports. Neither did my two older brothers. We lived three miles from school, my parents owned one car, and my mom stayed at home to raise us. When my kids were in public school in the late 1990s and early 2000s, my daughter turned out for fast pitch and high school tennis. My son turned out for junior high and high school football and Little League baseball. Costs were minimal.

In late May, 2026, I was hospitalized for unexpected surgery (thankfully with a good outcome). Ironically, the hospital where I was treated is one I had personally researched. It was part of a field study I did with Claudia Andrade in 2013 involving hospitals in the US and Portugal. The research was funded by a grant from the Academy of Architecture for Health Foundation. For the research, I studied units in the United States: two units in Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London, Connecticut, now affiliated with the Yale New Haven Health System. At the time of the research, one unit on the 4th floor was unrenovated; the other was part of a 5.5-million-dollar renovation in 2013, designed by Moser, Pilon, and Nelson Architects (now part of QA+M). This renovated orthopedic unit, called 4.2, was where I recently recovered from surgery.

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s fine-guidance system, which allows the observatory to lock very steadily onto its targets during observations, passed a spate of tests from Sept. 15 to 21. Then on Sept. 22, the mission’s Coronagraph Instrument opened its eyes to cosmic light for the very first time. The team assigned a small part of each of the 18 detectors in Roman’s primary instrument, the Wide Field Instrument, to rapidly observe a separate guide star — stars with well-known positions used as reference points. When Roman’s attitude control system gets the spacecraft pointed in the right direction, information from the fine-guidance system then helps hold it steady throughout each observation so it doesn’t drift off target. Using only the attitude control system, Roman’s images wouldn’t be as crisp.
A newly discovered exoplanet orbits its star backward, and it's a mystery why. The system and others like it could shed light on how some complex planetary systems form.

09.30.2026A-B/InBev’s Michelob Ultra was the flagship beer brand for the FIFA World Cup. Getty Images We can confirm that it was longtime A-B/InBev agency Genesco Sports Enterprises with the assist on the brewer’s return to the NHL with Michelob Ultra. The reunion comes after an absence of four years, during which the NHL had Canadian rights with A-B InBev, but had no domestic sponsor in the suds category. That now means Michelob Ultra is the lead with significant properties including the NBA, PGA Tour and PGA of America. Ultra has been America’s top-selling brew by volume for more than a year, replacing Bud Light as numero uno after 20 years. Modelo Especial, owned in the U. S. by Constellation Brands, is the leading beer in the U. S. by dollar sales. Larger A-B brands like Bud Light are still heavily invested across large properties, including college football and the NFL, but the belief here is that Mich Ultra, also the flagship beer brand for the recently completed FIFA World Cup, will be carrying the ball for the NFL fairly soon.
