The paper, published in The Planetary Science Journal, indicates that the 140-mile-wide space rock, dubbed 16 Psyche, might not be as metallic or dense as previous research has suggested. According to the study, which was led by University of Arizona (UA) undergraduate student David Cantillo, the findings suggest that the asteroid’s formation may have played out differently to what scientists had previously thought. It was long thought that the asteroid was the exposed iron core of a small planet that failed to form during the earliest days of the solar system, stripped of its mantle and crust....

U.S. astronaut Mark Vande Hei and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Peter Dubrov were ordered to move to the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft, while American astronauts Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn and Kayla Barron, as well as Germany’s Matthias Maurer, relocated to the Crew Dragon after a piece of space debris was projected to fly past the ISS.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, Iraq’s military said the explosion occurred in the Wahailat market in Sadr City just a day before the Eid al-Adha holiday, a busy time for the market as shoppers search for gifts and groceries.

HIRSH: How did you see Assad as a man and a leader? KISSINGER: No great knowledge of the West. I think I was the first Westerner with whom he negotiated consistently. A man of extraordinary brilliance and a good sense of humor, he was also ruthless and passionately nationalistic. He used some of the early negotiations with me to educate himself about the West. And he was very careful to conduct the negotiations in such a way that the result did not appear as his own personal decision but as the result of a confluence of forces which he registered, rather than created....
