Mickey has been the symbol of the company for almost 100 years and is one of the most recognizable characters in the world.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make important astronomical discoveries. Sometimes, all it takes is an internet connection and some spare time. That’s all Tom Bickle, Martin Kabatnik, and Austin Rothermich needed to find a celestial object rocketing through the Milky Way at roughly one million miles (1.6 million kilometers) per hour. The trio were participants in Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, an online collaboration wherein volunteers look at images captured by NASA’s recently retired Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The goal is to identify objects at the edge of the solar system, such as brown dwarfs (balls of gas too big to be planets, but too small to be stars), low-mass stars, and even a hypothesized ninth planet orbiting the Sun.

Two of Earth’s neighbors will appear awfully close in the sky on August 14, as the orbits of Mars and Jupiter make them seem to almost touch. A conjunction is an astronomical term for when two or more bodies in space closely approach each other, relative to the view from Earth. While the objects appear close to each other, in actuality they can still be millions—or trillions—of miles from each other. In the case of the Mars and Jupiter conjunction, the two planets will, at their nearest, be more than 300 million miles (500 million kilometers) apart.

In Kingston, Jamaica, by secret ballot, an election was held earlier this month. The lands whose governance was at stake are vaster than any nation, and it’s possible the consequences of the vote will be felt for eons. More than half of the world’s ocean floor is under the jurisdiction of an intergovernmental body called the International Seabed Authority, or ISA. Its members have spent the last three decades in deliberations with a single purpose: crafting an international legal regime for a field of commercial activity that does not yet exist. Their mandate is to determine how — and whether — to allow the nations of the Earth to mine the sea.
