Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:30 GMT

(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.The robotic explorer used its black-and-white navigation cameras to take panoramas of the Marker Band Valley on April 8 before leaving the site. One panorama was taken at 9:20 a.m., while the other was taken at 3:40 p.m., both local Mars time.The black-and-white panoramas captured how different the landscape looks at two different times of day, and color was added in post-processing by a team at NASA. The blue light signifies the morning, while the yellow light indicates the afternoon.The image is similar to another postcard taken by Curiosity in November 2021.“Anyone who’s been to a national park knows the scene looks different in the morning than it does in the afternoon,” said Curiosity engineer Doug Ellison at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, in a statement. “Capturing two times of day pro...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:30 GMT

Under the surface of one of their best offensive performances of the season, the Orioles ended Tuesday night quietly. Adam Frazier’s RBI single in the sixth inning marked their season-high 17th hit. They did not record another.That streak extended late into Wednesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Adley Rutschman’s single to open the seventh inning marked Baltimore’s first hit off right-hander José Berríos, who largely cruised over 7 2/3 scoreless frames to end the Orioles’ five-game winning streak.Baltimore (42-25) threatened in the ninth, with three straight two-out singles off Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano doubling their hit total and plating their first run. But the late effort wasn’t enough for Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish to avoid being a hard-luck loser. Despite allowing only one run in seven innings, Bradish fell to 0-9 in 17 career starts against American League East opponents.The lone run off him came in the...

‘A circus’: Mississippi Supreme Court Justice decries efforts to keep him in lawsuit

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:30 GMT

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — In a rare address to a federal court Wednesday, Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Mike Randolph called efforts to attach him to a lawsuit challenging a new state law a “circus” with “no legal precedent in U.S. history.”Randolph was named a defendant in the lawsuit challenging House Bill 1020. The legislation was signed into law by Republican Gov. Tate Reeves in April. The new state law, which U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate has temporarily prevented from taking effect, expands the state’s role in courts and policing in Jackson. Speaking before Wingate, Randolph said Wednesday was the first day in over 19 years that he addressed a courtroom from the podium rather than from the judge’s bench.“I have never seen a circus like this one,” Randolph said. “I can’t find a case in U.S. history like this.”The lawsuit, filed by the national, state and local chapters of the NAACP, says “separate and unequal policing” will return to Mississippi’s majority-Black...

She was Florence Charleston, a Cleveland, Ohio, woman in her late 60s who had moved to Portland, Oregon, shortly before her death.How Charleston wound up dead and buried in a shallow grave 535 miles (860 kilometers) away from her new home is still a mystery.
