By Anne LoganIt's been awhile since I read Canadian author Claire Cameron. I last read and reviewed one of her books of fiction, The Last Neanderthal in 2019 and I recently picked up her memoir How to Survive a Bear Attack with an open mind because it's a work of non-fiction, so very different from what I was used to. This latest book is about the skin cancer that runs in her family, plus a deadly bear attack she became fixated on as she grew older.

A Japanese startup is set to launch a lunar lander this week — its second attempt to land on the Moon after a first try failed in 2023. Ispace’s Resilience lander lifts off Wednesday as part of a NASA program to develop commercial services for doing work on the Moon. If all goes to plan, the spacecraft will touch down in a few months, making Ispace the first Asian company to land on the Moon. So far, just one private firm has done so — Intuitive Machines, a US startup, in February 2024.

The splendidly named Lake Enigma has an average temperature of -14°Celsius (6.8°Fahrenheit), and scientists had long assumed it was completely frozen all the way down. But in 2019, researchers discovered a 40-foot basin of liquid water beneath a thick layer of ice.

NASA’s Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon by the end of the decade has been delayed again. The agency said Thursday it does not anticipate a crewed Moon landing until mid-2027 at the earliest. Administrator Bill Nelson said NASA pinpointed a design flaw with the crew capsule’s heat shield, and must now modify all the launch and flight plans for Artemis’ test missions — all of which pushes back the planned landing to the Moon.

The NewsChina is set to switch on one of the most powerful sources of X-ray light in the world. The High Energy Photon Source near Beijing is essentially a circular track around which electrons will be beamed at incredibly high energies, creating laser-like X-ray beams that can then be used to capture images of materials at the atomic scale.
