Justice pushes federal protection for women's sports after Supreme Court rulings

Sen. Jim Justice, who signed West Virginia's Save Women's Sports Act, says the Supreme Court's rulings upholding state limits on transgender athletes validate WV’s approach and urges Congress to enact nationwide protections for girls' and women's sports. He has cosponsored Sen. Tuberville's S.9 and pressed the NCAA for answers, arguing it’s common sense to keep women's sports for women. The court’s decisions reaffirm existing state laws but did not set a national standard, leaving Justice and others pushing for federal legislation as California and Maine face related lawsuits.

Retro Game Boy Camera Captures Jupiter Through Giant Telescope

An artist-musician attached a modified 1998 Game Boy Camera to Mount Wilson Observatory's 60-inch telescope using a 3D-printed C‑Mount adapter and eyepiece adapters, effectively turning the telescope into a roughly 730,000mm-long lens (about 24,384mm equivalent) to photograph Jupiter after a Moon shot proved too close. The shot revealed Jupiter’s bands and limb, and the image was printed on a Game Boy printer. The creator, Chris Graue, is known for past game‑console hacks and plans to continue experimenting during his Alaska tour with Lo(u)ser.

Aphelion Heat: Why Summer Feels Hot Even as Earth Moves Away from the Sun

Aphelion Heat: Why Summer Feels Hot Even as Earth Moves Away from the Sun

Despite record heat, Earth is actually farther from the Sun during aphelion in early July (~152 million km) than at perihelion in January. Seasons are driven by Earth’s 23.4° tilt, which increases the Sun’s angle and daily daylight in the Northern Hemisphere; the distance changes about 5 million km and slightly affects solar energy, but tilt dominates the seasonal cycle.

Global Pride: What People Say Makes a Nation Worth Proud

Global Pride: What People Say Makes a Nation Worth Proud

Pew Research Center surveyed 33,486 people in 25 countries to ask what makes them proud of their country. Across the board, pride most often centers on the people and diversity of a nation, with culture and lifestyle also frequently cited. Some countries highlight political systems or the economy (e.g., democracy and welfare in Sweden; governance in Germany; economic development in Japan and Indonesia), while others emphasize arts, cuisine, or national heritage (France, Italy, Mexico, Spain). Negative or critical feelings appear in several places (e.g., parts of Greece, Hungary, the U.K., and the U.S.), and in the U.S. pride in freedoms often coexists with partisan divides. Overall, pride reflects a mix of people, culture, institutions, and resources, with country-specific nuances.
