A few planetary mission updates: Planet hunter nears its end – good run Kepler! and NASA’s asteroid explorer Dawn soon to go dark – exploring Vesta and Ceres.  And then a few good articles – an update on Quantum Computing in Quantum advantage with shallow circuits; a good seismic/geophysics look at the inner core in Shear properties of Earth’s inner core constrained by a detection of J waves in global correlation wavefield; and a good material/superconductor physics piece in Evidence for Majorana bound states in an iron-based superconductor.

Cover image expansionA fantastic issues for astronomy and planetary science – with a great feature on Saturn research highlights including: the magnetic field, radiation belts, dust in the system (two!), SKR, and a study on the atmosphere – all based on Cassini’s final orbits.

If that isn’t enough, there is also an update on BepiColombo’s trips to Mercury and also a fantastic article on “sky rivers” or streams of stars falling into our galaxy and the implications of what that means based on the recent data released from the Gaia satellite.

And there is also a good write up on new research about GLOFs or glacial lake outburst floods (as drivers of erosion in the Himalaya).

Finally, a good study on the flu (go get your shot!) on how “Urbanization and humidity shape the intensity of influenza epidemics in U.S. cities.”
