NASA is sinking Goddard Space Flight Center | Spooky space structures for Halloween scares | New laser drill can explore ice-covered worlds

Colorado sues Trump Administration over Space Command move | China launches 3 astronauts Created for znamenski.spacecom@blogger.com | Web Version   October 31, 2025 FOLLOW US FOLLOW US   Something amazing every day SIGN UP ⋅   WEBSITE   The Launchpad Happy Halloween space fans! For spooky season we have something a bit more scary than whimsical, as NASA is shuttering its flagship center, Goddard Space Flight Center in a way that may not be entirely legal, according to critics. "This story is the result of months of reporting, featuring source interviews, internal NASA communications and a Senate report that all point to agency leadership at the Goddard Space Flight Center enacting changes that are crippling its ability to fulfill the groundbreaking science its facilities are historically known for," our staff writer Josh Dinner explains. "If nothing is done, the center may never recover." Other headlines for today include a roundup of spooky space structures, China sending three astronauts to its Tiangong Space Station today and Colorado suing the Trump Administration over plan to move Space Command to Alabama.  It's also Friday so as we head into the weekend we have your weekly staff recommendations of "what we're reading/playing/watching." You'll find those suggestions from our team at the bottom of your newsletter.  We have all that and more for your daily read.  Keep looking up,  Kenna  Content Manager, Space.com NASA is sinking top science hub amid shutdown "There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…" Read More Watch China launch 3 astronauts for its space station Liftoff of the Shenzhou 21 mission is scheduled for 11:44 a.m. ET today (Oct. 31).

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 31.10 будут заслушаны 2
доклада:

11:30

Олег Андреев
Несколько комментариев о тяжёлых тетракварках

I will make a few comments on heavy tetraquarks using the gauge/string
duality. In particular, I describe the structure of the two low-lying
Born-Oppenheimer potentials.

12:30

Ю. Н. Обухов (ИБРАЭ РАН)
Spin dynamics of fermions in external fields

This talk presents results of a comprehensive study of the classical and
quantum dynamics of spin 1/2 Dirac fermion particles with dipole moments
under the action of arbitrary external fields (including gravitational,
inertial, electromagnetic, axion ones). The gauge-theoretic framework of
the general-relativistically covariant Dirac theory is used to describe
in a consistent way the minimal and nonminimal couplings of fermions to
external fields of different physical nature. The quantum and
quasiclassical equations of motion are derived and a complete
consistency
of the quantum and classical spin dynamics is demonstrated. Applications
range from astrophysics, to precision experiments with polarized
particles
in accelerators and storage rings, to the heavy-ion collisions.
