A recent image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) has captured a curious sight atop the Emi Koussi volcano, located in northern Chad, the highest peak in the Sahara Desert. The white patch visible at the summit initially suggests a blanket of snow, but it is far from it. Instead, this patch is the dried-up bed of a small lake, now covered in salt. The volcano itself stands at 3,415 meters (11,204 feet), towering above the vast Sahara.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has embarked on an innovative project to develop a small nuclear battery that converts the decay heat of americium—a radioactive waste—into electricity. This battery is specifically designed for use as a power source in space probes that operate in locations where solar power generation is not possible. These locations include asteroids, distant planets far from the Sun, and the dark side of the Moon.
