Linux 6.3 has arrived after a push that project boss Linus Torvalds characterized as "a nice, controlled release cycle" that required the seven release candidates he prefers and was supported by helpful developer behavior. https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/24/linux_kernel_6_3_released/

A new #AstroPhysicsFactlet .

A "nuclear interaction" is the direct collision between a charged particle moving nearly at the speed of light and a heavy nucleus, which fragments into lighter nuclei, a cascade of leptons and high energy photons.

It can only happen in a high density medium, where short range collision with nuclei (typical size R~1e-15m) have some chance to happen.

What is a high density astrophysical environment next to us, in which this process is routinely observed?

Judith Love Cohen was the engineer who made Apollo's Abort Guidance System, which was crucial to saving the ill-fated Apollo 13. She finished it while in labor, then (the same day) delivered her younger son -- the actor Jack Black.

This is one of those utterly remarkable #space stories that I stumble over once in a while and it blows my mind afresh every single time.
