Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:07 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — With its massive spending power, Manchester City’s run to the Champions League final has hardly come as a surprise.The same cannot be said for Inter Milan, City’s opponent on Saturday in Istanbul.While Inter is one of European soccer’s most storied teams, it enters the game as an outsider, having somewhat surprisingly reached the final. After all, Inter is the third best team in Italy, a league that has long-since lost its shine after being considered the ultimate destination for the world’s best players in the 1990s.Inter finished the season 18 points behind league champion Napoli, the team many expected to go far before losing to AC Milan in the quarterfinals.Inter went on to beat its city rival in the semifinals to advance to the final of European club soccer’s elite competition for the first time in 13 years.To put that achievement into context, this was the first time it had even been in the quarterfinals since 2011, when...

NASA’s Psyche mission will launch to an unexplored metal world this fall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:07 GMT

(CNN) — The first NASA spacecraft designed to study a metallic asteroid is now set to launch in October, according to a Monday announcement made by the agency.The endeavor, known as the Psyche mission, was originally expected to lift off in 2022. But the launch window opened on August 1 and closed October 11 before the spacecraft’s flight software was ready.During testing at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, engineers discovered a compatibility issue in the software’s test bed simulators. The issue was corrected, but there wasn’t enough time for a full checkout and launch in 2022.An independent review board has found that steps taken by NASA and the California Institute of Technology to get the delayed mission back on track, including work on the mission as well as institutional steps, have been “outstanding,” according to the announcement.The review board, which convened last summer when delays became evident in June 2022, provided a report with recommendati...

Smoke and Showers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:07 GMT

Temps climbed into the mid 70s yesterday, which was certainly a welcomed change of pace, but we also had to deal with scattered afternoon storms and a smoky sky. With a high level of smoke making it’s way down to ground level, at times the air quality was poor/unhealthy for southern New England. While the density of the smoke today is not as high as yesterday, residual smoke is creating a haze to the sky and prompting another air quality alert for today. Temps today run 65-70 this afternoon with more clouds than sun, and occasionally, a passing sprinkle/shower. The rain showers are hit or miss, so not all towns will see one. The thunder threat is lower today vs. yesterday too. Tomorrow, pretty much a repeat pattern. Friday too. We will have a bit of a higher chance for scattered showers/storms to pop-up Friday vs. the next couple days, but the flavor of the day is the same. Saturday, not too many changes are in storm as highs run 65-70 and a few more isolated storms pop. With...
