A team from Yale University captured the photo on November 24 using the Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer instrument at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii. The solid core of the comet only measures about a mile across. However, as 2l/Borisov moves closer to the sun, the star’s heat warms the object. As the temperature rises, icy material on the comet’s surface evaporates creating a vast tail of gas and fine dust which extends for around 100,000 miles—around 13 times the diameter of the Earth....

In “The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America,” (Metropolitan Books, Oct. 2007) the Pulitzer prize-winning social critic traces the narrative to 17th-Century conflicts between New England tribes and white settlers during the nation’s founding, which she calls “the characteristic and formative American ideal.” When, more than three centuries later, terrorists flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, Faludi contends that the captivity narrative re-emerged as the organizing principle for our national identity, re-configured to star a heroic cowboy rescuing a weak frontierswoman from a “dark-skinned, non-Christian combatant....

No responsible financial pro – except one of Hillary Clinton’s friends, perhaps – would answer yes to that question. It’s heresy. The markets have been on a joyride, almost without interruption, for more than a decade. Former star mutual-fund manager Peter Lynch is practically a household name. Commodities, meanwhile, have been on their backside. But the world shunned stocks and bonds once, too. And lately the humble stuff of mines, smelters and forests has begun to look more glamorous: commodities have left stocks and bonds in the dust this year....

There are 14 children under the age of 11, and five children between 12 to 17 hospitalized, and only one of those 19 cases is fully vaccinated. In addition to the hospitalizations, public health officials reported 130 deaths this week, some of which date back to mid-October as it can take weeks to publicly confirm COVID as a cause of death, according to The Des Moines Register. Iowa has just over 58 percent of its population fully vaccinated, the 25th highest rate in the nation, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

Feenstra led King 45.58 percent to 36.02 percent, with 35,685 votes to 28,200 with 95.2 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. Many polls leading up to the election put Feenstra in a statistical tie with King. King had served nine times in the House, however, in this latest election his victory was anything but guaranteed. In 2019, King was removed by GOP leaders from all committees to which he was assigned after asking in an interview with The New York Times, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?...

Shortly after game's end, ESPN flashed a graphic on the screen that showcased the rarified air Ejim entered with this blitz. The last three Big 12 players to score at least 35 points and grab 15 points in a game were Oklahoma's Blake Griffin (2008-09), Kansas State's Michael Beasley (2007-08) and Texas' Kevin Durant (2006-07). "It was teamwork," Ejim said afterward. "These guys just did a great job finding me in transition and getting me the ball in places where I could score....

In the suit, former Cyclones point guard Nikki Moody says she was repeatedly harassed and discriminated against by Fennelly. Moody, who is African-American, said the treatment she suffered led to a “hostile education environment through racial harassment.” MORE: Sheryl Swoopes under scrutiny for Loyola Chicago exodus According to the lawsuit, Fennelly treated his white players fairly while reprimanding and disrespecting Moody and the other black players. The lawsuit lists more than 30 allegations of mistreatment of Moody and Chassidy Cole, a fellow Iowa State African-American player....

Ronaldo has scored all four of Portugal’s Group B goals so far, netting a hat-trick in the 3-3 draw with Spain before getting the winner in a 1-0 victory over Morocco. Despite the Real Madrid striker’s excellent form, Santos rejected the suggestion that the responsibility would be on Ronaldo to deliver a result against Carlos Queiroz’s side. “He makes a difference here, in Real Madrid, in Manchester United, in Sporting,” said Santos, recounting Ronaldo’s current and former clubs....

Oil markets continued their dramatic plunge Monday, dropping more than 30 percent after a rift between Russia and Saudi Arabia led to the two nations failing to agree on production cuts amid uncertainties surrounding a worldwide outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Confirmed COVID-19 cases surpassed 113,000 on Monday, with the vast majority of infections in the diseases’ country of origin, China, but Iran’s own struggle proving particularly deadly. The Iranian Health Ministry reported Monday that the country had experienced a total of 7,161 COVID-19 cases and raised the death toll to 237, behind only China’s roughly 3,120 deaths and Italy’s 463....

A prospective Biden administration would encounter a series of obstacles in its path to reconstituting the deal. As Special Representative Brian Hook stated in an interview with CNBC, by the time President Donald Trump is finished with his term, “there’s not going to be much of [a deal] left to join for those who aspire to that outcome.” Let us review the interplay of factors that will render the accord obsolete by the time Biden would hypothetically take office....

“The past two weeks were eventful and exceptional weeks. There were bitter and sweet events for the Iranian nation to take lessons from,” Khamenei said in a public sermon in Tehran, according to a partial transcript on his website. The sermon marked the supreme leader’s first public prayer service in eight years. Khamenei has done public sermons only a handful of times since he became the nation’s religious leader in 1989....

Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal, known officially as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in 2018, after which Iran began violating terms of the agreement in response to new sanctions the U.S. imposed. The International Atomic Energy Agency said earlier this year that Iran alerted the agency it planned to begin enriching uranium to 20 percent purity, according to an early 2021 report by the BBC....

A note placed alongside the head is handwritten in Arabic; it proclaims “Martyr from the CLC”—the acronym for the Concerned Local Citizens groups that have teamed up with American forces to fight insurgents. The American soldiers from Bravo Company who made the gruesome discovery have just come from another mission, one that involved rousing Iraqi farmer Basel Diab Muhammed in the wee hours Sunday and checking the shrapnel scars he sustained escaping from gunmen who kidnapped him a month ago....

Supporters of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland had their exploits acknowledged by Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, at a special ceremony in Paris on Thursday, ahead of the Euro 2016 semi-final between Germany and France. Both teams were eliminated at the round of 16, but their supporters won over the people of France with their good-natured behaviour. Republic of Ireland supporter Jamie Monaghan and Northern Ireland fan Jim Spratt were simulataneously presented with the award at the ceremony, which was also attended by Irish Ambassador to France, Geraldine Byrne Nason....

Bruce Dickinson, who was previously an outspoken supporter of Britain leaving the European Union, told Sky News in a new interview that he is frustrated by travel difficulties that U.K. artists are subsequently facing in Europe. “Don’t get me started on the government’s attitude to the entertainment industry. We are probably one of the U.K.’s major exports. I mean, come on! And yet we’re sitting here, we can’t do anything,” he said....

Friday’s newspapers, for instance, carried stories about more than 30,000 technology workers getting fired–forget the word “layoffs”; we’re talking firings. Yech. And an astounding $45 billion write-off by JDS Uniphase, a onetime high flier now fallen to earth. JDSU, whose stock is down around 95 percent from its peak, has decided that companies it bought are worth $45 billion less than it paid for them. Earlier in the week there was yet another huge round of firings at Lucent Technologies, once touted as a premier supplier to Internet and telecommunications companies, now a corporate cripple fighting for its life....
