Astronomers close in on long-lost Soviet lunar lander
Luna 9 was the first humanmade object to reach the moon in 1966. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. For nearly 60 years, the first humanmade object to successfully land on the moon has been missing. However, researchers may now be closer than ever to finding the Soviet Union's Luna 9 spacecraft. Using an advanced machine learning program, an international team of scientists believe they have finally narrowed down a list of finalists for Luna 9's location.

Tiny-ImageNet isasmall subset of ImageNet dataset, containing 100,000 training images, 10,000 validation images, and 10,000 testing images separated in 200 different classes, dimensionsofwhichare64 64pixels. Here,anapproximate featureprobability q(Z) is introduced to approximate the true feature probabilityp(Z). The additional results are illustrated in Figure 1. We provide additional feature visualization under various adversarial attack methods including NRF in Figure 1-5 (CIFAR-10, SVHN, and Tiny-ImageNet are utilized).

Deadly drone attacks on civilians continue in Sudan's Kordofan, UN says
Deadly drone attacks on civilians continue in Sudan's Kordofan, UN says Fatal drone strikes on civilians persist in Sudan's Kordofan, as the central region has emerged as the latest front line in Sudan's nearly three-year conflict, the United Nations has said. Addressing the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk painted a grim picture of the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has plunged the country into widespread bloodshed and humanitarian catastrophe. Turk also highlighted harrowing survivor testimonies from el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, which fell to RSF forces in October following an 18-month siege. He described accounts of atrocity crimes committed by the paramilitary after it overran the city, including mass killings and other grave violations targeting civilians. "Responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies squarely with the [RSF] and their allies and supporters," he said As Sudan's devastating civil war expands beyond the western Darfur region into the central Kordofan areas, Turk cautioned that the shift in fighting is likely to bring even more severe violations against civilians, expressing deep concern over the potential for additional grave abuses, specifically highlighting the increasing use of "advanced drone weaponry systems" by both warring parties.
