| Hubble in trouble: space telescope out of action as gyroscope fails Posted: 08 Oct 2018 10:51 AM PDT  The Hubble Space Telescope has been put out of action by a gyroscope problem. Nasa announced Monday that one of Hubble's gyroscopes failed last Friday. As a result, the telescope is in so-called safe mode with non-essential systems turned off. That means all science observations are on hold. Rachel Osten, Hubble's deputy mission head at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, said: "It's true. Very stressful weekend. Right now HST is in safe mode while we figure out what to do. "Another gyro failed. First step is try to bring back the last gyro, which had been off, and is being problematic. We'll work through the issues and be back." Nasa said mission controllers are working to restore the 28-year-old telescope. An image of Saturn taken by Hubble Credit: AP In a statement the space agency said: "Mission experts are taking steps to return Hubble to great science." Gyroscopes are needed to keep Hubble pointed in the right direction during observations. Astronomers use the orbiting observatory to peer deep into the cosmos, revealing faraway solar systems as well as galaxies and black holes. Launched in 1990, Hubble has had trouble with its gyroscopes before. Spacewalking shuttle astronauts replaced all six in 2009. The telescope could work with as few as one or two gyroscopes, although that leaves little room for additional breakdowns. The problem with Hubble comes after Nasa's Opportunity Mars rover went silent on June 10 following a dust storm on the red planet.

Yes, the Republicans control the Senate and this is Trump's nominee, but they have six women serving as senators, and how could any woman not be moved by the testimony of Dr Christine Blasey Ford? How could the senators not feel a stronger solidarity with their gender than their party?

O'Farrell was principal sponsor of legislation the council passed last year designating the second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples Day in place of Columbus Day in the nation's second-largest city.

| Thank you r/relationships for giving me the drama fix I crave Posted: 09 Oct 2018 02:14 PM PDT  This is Ode To... , a weekly column where we share the stuff we're really into in hopes that you'll be really into it, too. Who doesn't love internet drama? I, for one, live for it. Watching someone get ratio'd on Twitter fills me with glee. If someone posts screenshots, I'll meticulously go through every shred of each snarky text. When I scroll past an argument on Facebook, I can't help but dive into the thread and digest every single comment. SEE ALSO: Staten Harry is the internet's cutest lip-sync star Lurking around internet drama satisfies me more than any Hulu original ever could. When I need to get away from the real world, I turn to vitriolic threads for entertainment. On especially rough days, when I finally tire of bingeing beloved trash shows like Gossip Girl, I venture into the crème de la crème of drama: Reddit's r/relationships. Everyone on r/relationships has a bone to pick: no matter how stable you think your relationship is, it wouldn't stand a chance against this subreddit. Some posters genuinely want advice, from asking for support through grief to admitting to a drug problem to a partner. But if you're looking for the messiest of messy, sort r/relationships by controversial and buckle up. Sure, your partner might forget to wash the dishes, or they may play too much Fortnite. But at least they aren't nearly as bad as the OPs of r/relationship's controversial tab. Here are just a few gems from these insecure, overbearing dumpster fires. Exhibit A: The man who feels insecure about his girlfriend's height. Sorry your girlfriend is too good for you, pal! Sometimes you can joyfully watch an OP get torn to shreds in the comments, like this woman who won't stand up against her hateful family. She even goes as far as dismissing their blatant racism as being "very conservative." Hard yikes, right? There are examples that make you want to scream, "Get out!! Get out now!" One woman's boyfriend, feels threatened that all of his partner's family members are male. It's bizarre how deep-set his insecurity runs. Apparently, he's worried that OP has been "masculinized due to being raised by a dad," and that by spending time with her family, she'll be "masculinized even more." What does that even mean? The subreddit's infamy has even crossed over to Twitter, where accounts like @redditships screenshot and tweet hilariously unfortunate posts. Me [19F] with my boyfriend [19M] of 1 year, how can I make him stop using twitch memes in every day conversation? pic.twitter.com/1ek46xQ971 — relationships.txt (@redditships) September 25, 2018 How to break it to my large headed (23F) girlfriend that I don't want her wearing my (30M) t-shirts anymore because she stretches out the head-hole. pic.twitter.com/ELDLkomuj4 — relationships.txt (@redditships) October 9, 2018 It was even a short lived meme. /r/relationships In vain I [28M] have struggled.

| Most heavy arms out of planned Syria buffer zone: monitor Posted: 09 Oct 2018 02:15 AM PDT  Jihadists and Turkish-backed rebels have withdrawn most heavy weapons from territory around Syria's last major opposition stronghold ahead of a Wednesday deadline, a monitor said. The weapons pullback is the first major test of a truce deal brokered by government-backed Russia and rebel-backer Turkey last month to avoid what the United Nations warned would be the appalling humanitarian consequences of a major government offensive. Under the agreement, all rebel groups have a Wednesday deadline to withdraw all their heavy weaponry from a 15- to 20-kilometre (nine- to 12-mile) buffer zone along the front line in Idlib province and adjacent areas of the northwest.
