Close In honor of Star Wars Day, NASA is unveiling some of its favorite photographs captured by astronauts onboard the International Space Station. According to a YouTube video caption, astronauts have taken more than 1.5 million images of Earth and space from the International Space Station and other spacecraft over the last six decades. The Earth Science and Remote Sensing (ESRS) department at NASA s Johnson Space Center has cataloged most of them.

April 11, 2021 By: jessicazafra Category: Books This is the text of my keynote address at the BDAP (Book Development Association of the Philippines) Literary Festival on 29 Nov 2020. In 2016 it occurred to me that the apocalypse had begun. A little late, since many had expected it at the turn of the millennium. This apocalypse is not the stuff of biblical Revelations, at least not literally. It is less spectacular, more life-sized, more plausible and therefore scarier. It could happen. It’s happening. In 2016 all my assumptions about the world were upended one by one. All around the world, far right populist strongmen were elected NOT despite but because of their appeal to the prejudices and hatreds of the people. There have always been demagogues, but we believed that the people would reject them. It turns out that we didn’t know the people, and we were horrified at what they believed. Reason became powerless against fear and loathing. Soon ....

Screenshot: Lucasfilm When I was nine, on a weekly trip to the local Toys R Us, I glimpsed my hero in miniature: Leia Organa, in her Boushh disguise, hanging on the racks alongside the other Star Wars action figures. I hemmed and hawed over whether to ask my parents to buy her before deciding that it didn’t make sense because I already had Leia that is, the classic Princess Leia action figure, complete with real fabric for her signature white dress. But by the time we were back at Toys R Us the next week, and I had decided I would add this figure to my collection, Boushh had disappeared. Someone else had taken them home. I was bereft; in the early-Internet era of 1998, I couldn’t easily order it online even eBay was relatively new back then. It would be a decade or more before I would come across another Boushh figure; at the time, I was more and more convinced that I had dreamt that such a toy even existed. ....
Poe Dameron was instrumental in the Resistance’s triumph over the First Order during the events of the Star WarsSequel Trilogy, but Leia knew the high-spirited pilot from a much earlier age than you’d imagine. Among the three main protagonists in the last movie of the saga, Poe was the closest the Resistance had to a veteran fighter. In addition to that, the character seemed to have developed a close bond with General Leia over the years, though it was never fully explored. And while other canon media have already attempted to show his origins, we never had a sense of how close his parents truly were to the Rebel Alliance and its leaders. ....
