Saturn Captured By James Webb Space Telescope

This image shows Saturn and some of its moons, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) NIRCam instrument on June 25, 2023. In this monochrome image, NIRCam filter F323N (3.23 microns) was color mapped with an orange hue. JWST turned to the ringed world Saturn in June 2023 to conduct a deep search for new ring structure and faint moons. Saturn itself appears to extremely dark at the infrared wavelengths sensed by JWST’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), as methane gas absorbs almost all of the sunlight falling on the atmosphere. However, the icy rings stay relatively bright, leading to the unusual appearance of Saturn in the JWST image. Several very deep Saturn exposures taken together with this image were designed to test JWST’s capacity to detect faint moons around the planet and its bright rings. Any newly discovered moons would be important dynamical tracers of the current Saturn system as well as its past history. This context image clearly shows details within the ring system, along with many of

Why "de-risking" from China poses high risks for European economies

STORY: Why "de-risking" from China poses high risks for European economies DATELINE: May 13, 2023 LENGTH: 00:02:24 LOCATION: Beijing CATEGORY: ECONOMY SHOTLIST: 1. various of headquarters of the EU 2. various of Europe 3. SOUNDBITE 1 (Bulgarian): ZAHARI ZAHARIEV, President of Bulgaria's National Association for the Belt and Road 4. SOUNDBITE 2 (Hungarian): ERNO PETO, President of the Hungarian-Chinese Chamber of Economy 5. various of China STORYLINE: Walking a fine line between preserving its interests and reducing exposures to so-called "risks," the European Union (EU) has been touting a "de-risking from China strategy." However, many analysts said that this "de-risking strategy" is likely to incur high risks and take a toll on the EU's economic growth. SOUNDBITE 1 (Bulgarian): ZAHARI ZAHARIEV, President of Bulgaria's National Association for the Belt and Road "We talk about China as one of the countries in the modern world, but we have to keep in mind that when we talk about China, we're talking about
