To think that we aren't just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space... changes everything.
It all comes down to orbital mechanics: arriving at the precise location, at the precise moment.
One tiny error... and it simply doesn't happen
The IAEA is at #COP30 showcasing nuclear solutions to global energy and environmental challenges.
Here’s what to expect:
🔹Inaugurating today, the #Atoms4Climate Pavilion features exhibits on how nuclear science and technology help countries advance clean energy, strengthen food security, manage water sustainably, and protect our oceans.
🔹 IAEA events at the Pavilion and across @COP30 Brazil will highlight nuclear energy’s role in the clean energy transition — and how nuclear science is driving solutions to environmental challenges.
���� An IAEA-led @UNFCCC side event on financing strategies for low-carbon energy will explore ways to accelerate the deployment of nuclear power together with renewables.

What is that light in the sky? The answer to one of humanity's more common questions may emerge from a few quick observations. For example -- is it moving or blinking? If so, and if you live near a city, the answer is typically an airplane, since planes are so numerous and so few stars and satellites are bright enough to be seen over the glare of artificial city lights. If not, and if you live far from a city, that bright light is likely a planet such as Venus or Mars -- the former of which is constrained to appear near the horizon just before dawn or after dusk. Sometimes the low apparent motion of a distant airplane near the horizon makes it hard to tell from a bright planet, but even this can usually be discerned by the plane's motion over a few minutes. Still unsure? The featured chart gives a sometimes-humorous but mostly-accurate assessment. Dedicated sky enthusiasts will likely note -- and are encouraged to provide -- polite corrections.

@roelraymond Whoever recorded this might have wanted to highlight soldiers. But it's not just them. Every single girl in my country has to endure this kinda disrespect from guys on the road, uncles in public transport and colleagues in work place.
Or are we supposed to forget the previous regiment and focus now on the current president acting against his own country men until a particular son of the said previous regiment come into our rescue?
So let me get this straight...
As Sri Lankans we have to;
1. Make the previous president pay for what he did to our country
2. Fight against the current government
3. Make sure our public people are safe from the military forces (who btw are supposed to protect them)
All while doing our normal day to day jobs?
So there's no time to actually work to get our country out of this country
AND we can't even decide on our own leaders? They do whatever they want inside the parliament?
Are we supposed to fight all the battles at once?

Anyone who's more focused on " that particular" property damage over the assaulted, wounded people... Should go see a counselor. Maybe they are loosing their humanity
Protestors were killed, tear-gassed, and beaten up. Journalists were assaulted. All actioned by security forces that are under command of the President and PM. If you're more pressed about property damage than the assault and killing of protestors, you're on the wrong side.
