Yamamoto puts the Dodgers one win from the NLCS
Ten strikeouts and seven innings of one-run pitching: Yoshinobu Yamamoto led Los Angeles past Atlanta 3โ1 in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on October 6. With a place in the next round now one win away, is this the performance that defines the series?

Music history: a protest anthem, complete with radio bleeps. The Smithsonian preserves a 1964 DJ single of Nina Simoneโs โMississippi Goddam,โ whose sleeve advertises a โBEEP-BEEPโ substitution. That small packaging detail captures the tension between the songโs anger and the effort to make it suitable for airplay.

Astana hosted an AI-film competition with 8,067 submissions from 125 countries.
The $450,000 Grand Prix went to Latvian filmmaker Nikolay Shestak for The First Honest Day. The festival ended October 3, with 25 films in its final programme.
A striking measure of how far AI filmmaking has spread.

The outer rainbow has its colours in reverse.
A primary rainbow forms when sunlight reflects once inside raindrops. A secondary bow comes from two internal reflections, sending light back at a different angle and reversing the colour order. Look for red on the inner edge of the fainter, outer arc.

This desert gets its main water supply from fog.
Namibiaโs Sand Sea stretches across about 34,000 square kilometres. Ocean currents and winds help deliver its sand; coastal fog sustains life where rain is scarce. This January 2020 satellite view catches the dune fields beside the Atlantic.

Humpback whales can build a fishing net out of air.
They blow curtains of bubbles to concentrate prey, then lunge through the trapped fish. Some do this in coordinated groups, and bubble-feeding techniques vary between populations. That pale ring around this feeding whale is part of the hunt.

These ripples are shockwaves from two jets flying faster than sound.
In this 2019 NASA image, the T-38s were roughly 30 feet apart. Schlieren photography makes normally invisible changes in air density visible. The colors were added to the composite; the shockwave interaction was captured during real flight.

A young star is carving a cavity 3.5 light-years wide.
Webbโs October 6 image reveals NGC 7129, a stellar nursery about 3,300 light-years away. Gold traces hot atomic hydrogen; red marks cooler molecular hydrogen shocked by young stars. Infrared light lets us look through the dusty cocoons.
