Space Bricks from meteorite dust
LEGO creates 'space bricks' made from meteorite dust – Physics World
Interesting article from Physics world, on a possible construction solution for bases on the Moon. Lego and a team of scientists from the ESA have created bricks from material from a crushed meteorite and a few other materials
I have started a Fediverse thread on this topic to ask if this technology could perhaps be combined with Boron Nitride in order to provide extra space radiation shielding.

The European space agencies new Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled for its inaugural launch on July 9th. This is a great step forward with a new rocket to usher in a new era
You can read more about the launch here
The following infographic is just embedded from the ESA website for illustration.

Astro events
Over the summer, there is going to be a significant astronomical event. that will take place in the constellation of Corona Borealis. The event is in fact a nova, and not a supernova. I asked on the Fediverse to clarity what is going to happen.
Just making this post so I can also share some related links to help clarify the difference between the various types of Nova event.

Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics
This was posted to the Fediverse earlier today, I replied to the post with a link to the resource [1]. As mentioned, there are a good few papers on arXiv [2]
This is a great way to bring together related resources so they can be found quickly and easily.

Overleaf Beta Testing
As I have signed up in the Overleaf beta testing programme, I am able to access new features early. The latest is testing their AI tool to help fix any errors to the LaTeX code.
This is going well so far, and seems a useful feature, especially as LaTeX can throw up problems that are harder to identify at times
Updates
7/7/2024 : I have made a video to illustrate how this feature can be used:

ISS De-Orbit Contract
In a contract worth as much as $843 million, NASA announced today SpaceX has been selected to develop a vehicle that will de-orbit the International Space Station in 2030.
You can read the full article at SpaceX Scores $843 Million NASA Contract To De-Orbit ISS In 2030
I am posting this as it seems very much related to my Previous post to an article on Potential Ozone Depletion From Satellite Demise During Atmospheric Reentry in the Era of Mega-Constellations
It would be interesting to find how, how much Aluminium (if any) is contained within the ISS and how much of that will end up being subject to Oxidation given the evidence from the research in the depletion of the Ozone layer. This, I would guess, is in addition to any other satellites that also fall to Earth and burn up in the Atmosphere.
