Happy Tuesday space fans!

We have lots of stories for today's roundup, starting with an asteroid the size of an airliner speeding toward Earth. You can watch this live on our website as asteroid designated 2025 QD8 is expected to pass roughly 135,465 miles (218,009 kilometers) from our planet. 

Other headlines for today include a dive into the decision to eliminate the UK Space Agency, exploring whether future telescopes could be rectangular and ISS astronauts serving up space sushi for dinner. 

It's Tuesday so we have our quiz of the week as part of our "Tuesday Trivia." From event horizons to spaghettification, you can test your knowledge of black holes with our new quiz found at the bottom of the newsletter. We have all that and more for your daily read.  

Thanks for exploring with us.
Keep looking up,

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 05.09 будет заслушан 1 доклад:
11:30 Короткевич А.О.
О ведущем процессе слабонелинейного взаимодействия капиллярных волн.

Численно и аналитически рассматриваются процессы взаимодействия капиллярных волн: слияние двух волн в одну и волн на кольце (в пространстве гармоник Фурье, изотропный спектр) в кольцо большего диаметра. Численно показано, что данные процессы являются главенствующими и другие процессы если и проявляются, то на их фоне как минимум слабы. В случае изотропной турбулентности капиллярных волн показано формирование слаботурбулентного спектра Захарова-Филоненко. Так же продемонстрировано, что к утверждениям теоремы о локальности в данном случае надо относиться с осторожностью.

ID и пароль онлайн-трансляций в Zoom те же, что и для предыдущих трансляций семинаров и докладов на Ученом совете:
