China deploys the Einstein probe, which is meant to search for X-ray bursts and is shaped like a lobster’s eyes.
This week saw the launch of a spacecraft intended to search the sky for X-ray bursts that may shed light on enigmatic events connected to black holes and merging stars. According to a press release from the European Space Agency, China's Long March 2C rocket carried the Einstein probe, named for the renowned theoretical physicist of German descent. The spacecraft was launched on Tuesday. The Long March rockets of China are operated by the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, which verified the successful launch on social media. The European Space Agency, the German Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences worked together to build the spacecraft. Finding evidence of X-ray bursts could aid researchers in gaining a deeper comprehension of the high-energy processes.

A turning point in Ukraine
To celebrate the Christian festival Epiphany, which honors Christ's baptism, throngs of people braved the bitter cold on January 6 and dove into the Black Sea in the Ukrainian coastal city of Odesa. The cold plunge this year held even more significance. It marked the first occasion that the war-torn nation observed the Christian feast day according to the Gregorian calendar (on January 6) rather than the Julian calendar (on January 19). Ukraine moved its Christmas celebrations in line with many Western dates last year, passing legislation in an effort to further detach itself from customs widely followed in Russia. However, it has been nearly hard to separate oneself from Russia's impending presence during the last several weeks in particular, with intense missile barrages.
The female contenders for Mexico’s next presidential position
It was described as a ceremonial handing of the baton by the ruling party. However, it was denounced by the opposition as a "passing of the scepter." Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is constitutionally prohibited from seeking reelection, made a public effort last month to convey his support for presidential contender Claudia Sheinbaum. Therefore, in a ceremony held outside a restaurant in Mexico City that is close to the National Palace, the home of the nation's executive branch, he gave his much-anticipated successor an actual baton. In expressing gratitude to Lopez Obrador, Sheinbaum, a 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City and close political ally, struck all the right chords. Sheinbaum announced her acceptance of the leadership role and the socialist Morena party's presidential candidacy, stating that she would take on “the full responsibility of continuing.

Patricia Bullrich, the third-place contender, gave up late on Sunday night after receiving 23.82% of the vote.

In Panama, demonstrations against a copper mine deal turn deadly
The anti-mining demonstrations that have erupted around Panama over the past two weeks turned fatal on Tuesday, authorities say, after a man is said to have shot and murdered two protestors. An elderly man who appeared disheveled and frustrated with the protestors' attempts to force them to remove a barrier blocking the Pan American highway about 50 miles south of the capital was shown in a chilling video that bystanders on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted. He then pulled out a pistol and opened fire. Later, the accused shooter was alleged to have been taken into custody by Panama's National Police on the scene. Since Panamanians flocked the streets in significant numbers to protest against, the unique scene of violence has served as the most recent focal point for some of the greatest riots to rock the Central American nation.
