Internationally important database hosted by a team at the Smithsonian has to move. Hmm.
A press release is out about the Biodiversity Heritage Library. From January 1, 2026, the Smithsonian will no longer host the administrative functions of BHL. BHL is looking for a new home. For further information see https://t.co/2n5n87IjH2

We heard from Lucy and the spacecraft is healthy! Now, the engineers will command the spacecraft to send science data of the encounter to Earth. This data downlink will take several days. Thanks for following along today & stay tuned for news of Donaldjohanson!

@CleaveO @somersetpodcast @antgib @HarryEverett_14 Given his recent numbers and his age I doubt we were interested to be honest. Would much rather see Goldsworthy open.
