TIL that when Dan Shechtman discovered quasiperiodic crystals in 1982, he got mocked and shamed. Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling spoke of the discovery, saying "There is no such thing as quasicrystals, only quasi-scientists." In 2011 Shechtman won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery.

"Just last November, researchers reported the discovery of a planet orbiting Barnard’s Star with a period of 3.154 days. The data hinted at the presence of three other planets, but these candidates could not be confirmed. In a new research article published today, Ritvik Basant (University of Chicago) and collaborators leveraged years of data to confirm that Barnard’s Star hosts not just one, but four planets."

The IM-2 Athena lunar lander, developed by Intuitive Machines, has completed its mission in the Moon’s southern polar region. However, it did so ahead of schedule—because it tipped over upon landing. This mishap echoes last year’s incident with the company’s first lander, IM-1 Odysseus. That one, despite ending up on its side, managed to function for some time since its solar panels could still charge the batteries.
Unfortunately, IM-2 fared worse. The designated landing ellipse was just 50 meters across near Malapert Massif, but the actual deviation was much larger—250 meters, according to the company, and up to 400 meters, per NASA. Engineers noted issues with the clarity of data from the laser altimeter, and an image sent from the lander confirmed that it had come to rest on its side inside a crater. Given that this region receives only slanted sunlight, combined with the extreme cold of the lunar night and the poor orientation of the solar panels, IM-2 has no chance of waking up again.
As a result, the two small rovers and the drill meant to extract regolith from nearly a meter deep were unable to fulfill their primary missions—though at least they managed to prove they were functional.

"EPIC Indie recognises why many authors turn to AI as a pragmatic solution for their cover design needs. AI technology offers a more affordable alternative, allowing authors to obtain professional-looking covers without the substantial upfront costs associated with traditional design services. This approach not only helps manage financial risk but also allows authors to allocate their limited resources to other important aspects of their publishing journey, such as editing, marketing, and distribution."

Should Indie and Self-Published Authors be blacklisted when it comes to AI book covers?
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in creating book covers has sparked significant debate online with some making threats to authors who use them and essentially telling them that they’re blacklisted for ever doing so.

"Attorney Scott Greene warned those present in a Louisiana courtroom last September that the video they were about to see was disturbing. Created as part of a murder investigation, the 1993 tape showed a dentist repeatedly grinding a dental mold of the suspect’s teeth into the face and arm of a dead toddler during a post-mortem examination.
"Those marks, which prosecutors decades ago had told jurors came from the suspect, were critical evidence in convicting Jimmie Chris Duncan, who has spent the past 27 years on death row for the killing of his girlfriend’s daughter. They were also a fraud, Greene argued at the appeals hearing."
