Welcome, Saturday readers.
Questions about the Iran war鈥檚 duration and form hovered all week as its human, economic, and political fallout continued. Find the latest news, including about the downed U.S. aircraft, on our homepage or app.聽
We chart more than what might seem to be a constellation of global conflicts. This was also a week in which an astronaut crew rocketed moon-ward for a fly-by 鈥� the first such mission in more than half a century.聽
This weekend, we look at an oil shock鈥檚 influence on renewable energy. A key part of China鈥檚 long game, renewables are getting attention from a U.S. cohort that has not previously embraced it. We introduce you to an Americana songwriter聽moved by 鈥渢he legacy of faith,鈥� and to an animal shelter volunteer who found herself at the hub of a caring community.

We also have a new 鈥淲hy We Wrote This鈥� podcast episode up. Intelligence is an infinite quality, so why would it be Earth-bound? Stephen Humphries presents excerpts of his interviews for a recent story on 鈥淧roject Hail Mary,鈥� a book that became a blockbuster movie.聽
