Massive video projections are coming to the Manhattan Bridge and Dumbo
The Dumbo Projection Project began displaying this season's artwork earlier this month and will continue on through May 25 from dusk til 11pm, Wednesdays through Sundays.
If you're looking to find the perfect spot to see the art, make sure you have a clear line of vision towards the Manhattan Bridge on both the Pearl Street and Adams Street sides, as well as along the BQE at Susan Smith McKinney Seward Park.
From now until April 27, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of SPACE, an exhibition that explores space in its many manifestations, including what it means to be in space, to have space, and to be a part of space. If you want to know what you're looking at specifically, here it is: On the Manhattan Bridge, you'll see Runway: From the Mars Desert Research Station and Does it work on Mars? by Juan José Cielo. Then, on the BQE in Susan Smith McKinney Steward Park, you'll catch a glimpse of artwork called Letters to Home II by Leonardo Madriz.
If you plan to check out the projections from May 1 to May 25, the exhibition on display will be Unexpected Delight!, an installation created by the Interactive Telecommunications Program graduate students at NYU. As the name suggests, the theme of those projections is "unexpected delight," which aims to surprise passerby and encourage them to marvel at the spaces we occupy and as well as the infrastructure around us. It's a fancy way of saying prepare to be gagged by the art.
If you want more in-depth information on the art on display, projection tours will be given monthly during the neighborhood's First Thursday Gallery Walks. Details will be posted on the Dumbo Improvement District's website.

Scientists make revelation about origins of life on Earth
Scientists suggest that life on Earth may have originated from outer space, implying its potential widespread presence across the universe. Researchers have discovered complex organic molecules, considered precursors to life's building blocks, within a disc surrounding a protostar. This finding addresses a crucial missing link, demonstrating that these complex molecules can survive the violent process of a protostar evolving into a young star. The survival of these molecules means they can be inherited by planet-forming discs, suggesting that life could be more abundant than previously thought. The significant findings have been reported in a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Noel Gallagher's turbulent relationship with Scots ex-wife Sara McDonald
The Oasis star and his Edinburgh born ex-wife Sara announced their split in January 2023 after 12 years of marriage. It's now just two weeks until Oasis take to the stage at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium in a moment their Scottish fans have been waiting on for over 15 years. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher finally announced they'd put their long-standing feud behind them last year when they made the huge announcement about the Oasis Live 25 reunion tour. It's almost Scotland's turn as the pair have already completed a string of shows around the UK including two nights at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, where they kicked off their tour on Friday, July 4 and five nights in their home city of Manchester at Heaton Park. This weekend, the Gallagher brothers kick start their London shows at Wembley Stadium tonight. They will play another four shows in the UK's capital on Saturday, July 26, Wednesday, July 30, Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3. Edinburgh will be Oasis next stop with their three shows in the Capital set to take place on Friday August 8, Saturday, August 9 and Tuesday, August 12. It will mark the first time that Oasis have played in Scotland since 2009 when their final gig in the country came as a part of their "Dig Out Your Soul" tour at Murrayfield Stadium. Noel has a deeply personal connection with Scotland, particularly Edinburgh, as it's where his ex-wife Sara McDonald was born and raised. The High Flying Birds star's reunion with his brother comes after a tough couple of years in his personal life. The 57-year-old confirmed in early 2023 that he was parting ways with Sara after 12 years of marriage. Noel's divorce from the Scottish music PR is said to have set him back £20m and forced him to relinquish their lavish £8M Hampshire abode. The Oasis songwriter previously opened up about their split on Matt Morgan's Patreon Podcast, where he candidly spoke about adjusting to single life. He even described a cheeky gesture he makes when biking in London: "I can get on the bike and go up to King's Cross, and go down to the canal at Longfield Road. "And get on the canal outside my wonderful ex-wife's house and give her a little wave, and go, 'You didn't take this from me'!" Over the course of their two decades together, Noel and Sara welcomed their two kids Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 15. A retrospective glance at Noel and Sara's relationship narrates the story of their first encounter, the alleged influence that Sara had on the notorious feud between the Oasis siblings, and the unraveling that led to their break up. The former couple first crossed paths in 2000 at the famous Space nightclub in Ibiza while Noel was still married to Meg Matthews. It was the same year that Noel and Matthews welcomed their daughter Anais, now 25. In a previous tell-all interview with Vogue, Sara shared the story of Noel asking her to hold onto his cigarettes and pint whilst nipping to the loo before they ended up sharing a cab ride home. Their encounter led to the singer asking for Sara's number which she scribbled on a card and it all appeared to be 'love at first sight'. Noel has openly revealed in the past that he held onto her contact information 'like it was a religious f**king artefact', despite claims that they didn't explore a romance until his marriage with Meg was officially over in 2001.

The dad-of-three also made claims later on that he fabricated tales of infidelity during his first marriage to hasten the divorce proceedings, stating at the time that his departure from Meg was down to his inability to endure her behaviour. Sara and Noel then went on their first outing as a couple at The Lanesborough Hotel, according to Daily Mail reports at the time. Back in a 2015 interview with Radio 4 presenter Kirsty Young, Noel confessed: "You know, I never believed in love at first sight or that soulmate thing until I met her." They took things to the next level when they exchanged vows in 2011 at the swanky Lime Wood Hotel nestled within the New Forest. As a sweet tribute to Sara's Scottish roots, bagpipes were played on their special day. The pair were already parents to their two boys Donovan, who was born in 2007, and Sonny, who arrived in 2010, when they tied the knot. Brother Liam Gallagher was notably absent from the occasion and is said to have received no invitation. Sara inevitably found herself embroiled in the infamous Oasis feud between Noel and Liam. Initially, Sara had a good relationship with Liam as a Scottish music PR but things took a turn after she and Noel briefly separated in 2002. In 2020, Sara publicly spoke about the tumultuous relationship between the brothers for the first time, revealing that their eldest son Donovan had never met his uncle. According to the Daily Mail, Sara alleged that Liam had once called her '11 times in one night', hurling abusive language at her. She also recalled an incident where an argument between the Gallagher siblings ended in Liam tossing her handbag down a hotel corridor. Noel previously disclosed in 2011 that his then-wife was not a huge lover of his music in Oasis, stating she's "not the biggest fan of anything I've ever done". In 2020, Liam then suggested on Twitter that Sara might be the reason why an Oasis reunion wouldn't happen. Responding to a fan who asked why Noel was against an Oasis reunion, Liam replied: "I've told you before he's right up for it but you know who won't let him as she doesn't like Oasis music." Sara and Noel announced their separation in January 2023. A statement on behalf of the couple read: "Noel and Sara will together continue to look after their children who remain their priority."The statement concluded with a request for privacy, saying: "Noel and Sara ask the media to respect their privacy at this time." Noel was very candid about his marriage breakdown during a chat with Ireland's Hot Press Magazine, explaining that things started to go south during lockdown. Noel admitted like many middle-aged couples, they simply "grew tired of each other". He divulged to The Sun: "When you get to your mid-50s you do come to some kind of crossroads in your life. "It's not uncommon for people who have been in long-term relationships to go their separate ways in their 50s. I know a lot of people in the same boat as me and Sara. Particularly after the pandemic. "The midlife crisis thing is true for men and women." He also confessed that his demanding tour itinerary played a part in his marital split, along with constant partying which would leave Sara furious. The ex-couple now co-parent their two boys, who are their "main priority". Following their split, Noel reportedly handed over £20M to Sara, as well as their lavish Hampshire home worth £8million in the divorce settlement.

Russia launches an Iranian communications satellite into orbit
A Russian rocket sent an Iranian communications satellite into orbit Friday, a launch that highlighted strong ties between the two countries. The Soyuz rocket lifted off as scheduled from Vostochny launchpad in far eastern Russia, the country's state-controlled Roscosmos corporation said. It carried two Russian Ionosphere-M Earth observation satellites, along with Iran's Nahid-2 satellite and 17 smaller Russian satellites, and put them into designated orbits. The 110-kilogram (242-pound) Iranian satellite is supposed to circle the Earth on a 500-kilometer (310-mile) orbit and has a service lifetime of two years. In November, Russia launched a pair of Iranian satellites named Kowsar and Hodhod, the first launched on behalf of the country's private sector. It followed two previous Russian launches of Iranian satellites in 2022 and 2024. Russia, which signed a 'strategic partnership' treaty with Iran in January, strongly condemned the Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran last month. Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could help negotiate a settlement that could allow Tehran to pursue a peaceful atomic program while assuaging Israeli security concerns. At the same time, Putin has emphasized that Tehran hasn't asked Moscow for military assistance and noted that the partnership treaty doesn't envision such aid. Russia has maintained a delicate balancing act in the Middle East for decades, trying to maintain warm relations with Israel even as it developed strong economic and military ties with Iran.
