Yannick Mellier, 1958–2025By Euclid Consortium / 2025-12-21
Au revoir Yannick! It is with greatest sadness that we have to announce the passing of Yannick Mellier, lead of the Euclid Consortium since 2011. Yannick has worked tirelessly to steer Euclid's development from before its adoption as a mission by ESA to the first science results in 2025. Much of what the Consortium is today bears his mark – and the first flagship paper introducing the first Euclid science results is, and will be, a 'Euclid Collaboration: Mellier et al.'

Eftersom genetiska faktorer ligger bakom ungefär hälften av kariesförekomsten, svarar miljöfaktorerna för den andra hälften. Men det som kanske förvånar är att de miljöfaktorer som tvillingarna delade, som var gemensamma för båda två, endast förklarade mindre än 15 procent av kariesförekomsten, medan miljöfaktorer som de inte delade hade en väsentligt större betydelse.
Det väcker frågor kring hur stark miljöeffekten av att födas i en viss familj egentligen är. Detta kan i sin tur ha bäring på sambanden mellan karies och socioekonomi.

At a press conference here Nov. 27 at the conclusion of the two-day ministerial conference, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher announced that ESA member states had agreed to provide 22.067 billion euros ($25.58 billion) for the agency's programs. That was very close to the agency's proposal of 22.254 billion euros.
The funding was a 32% increase from the 16.9 billion euros ESA received at the previous ministerial in 2022, or 17% when corrected for inflation.
22,1 miljarder euro (motsvarade 243 miljarder kronor). ESA:s generaldirektör Josef Aschbacher hade bitvis svårt att hitta orden när han presenterade bidragen från medlemsländerna vid en presskonferens i tyska Bremen, där ett ministermöte hållits i två dagar.
Global Land Surface Temperature: switch from Himawari-8 to Himawari-9
Telecommunications satellites are usually placed in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO). GEO is a circular orbit 35 786 kilometres above Earth's equator and follows the direction of Earth's rotation. An object in GEO has an orbital period equal to Earth's rotational period, so to ground observers it appears motionless at a fixed position in the sky.
Satellites in GEO allow permanent communication links to be established by transmitting radio-frequency signals from fixed antennas.
NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES)–R Series is the Western Hemisphere's most sophisticated weather-observing and environmental-monitoring system. The GOES-R Series provides advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and monitoring of space weather.

As of September 2024, 45 cities in France have fully adopted free public transport. Among them, Montpellier—with a population of nearly 500,000—is the largest. Other cities like Douai (223,000 residents) and Dunkerque (193,000 residents) have also demonstrated how this policy can reshape urban mobility.
Dunkerque's fare-free bus system, introduced in 2018, stands out as a success. In just one year, bus ridership increased by 77 per cent, showcasing how removing fares can significantly boost public transit usage.
