What’s happened to the sky? Last Monday, the photogenic launch plume from a SpaceXrocket launch created quite a spectacle over parts of southern California and Arizona. Looking at times like a giant space fish, the impressive rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc, California, was so bright because it was backlit by the setting Sun. The Falcon 9 rocket successfully delivered to low Earth orbit 23 Starlink communications satellites. The plume from the first stage is seen on the right, while the soaring upper stage rocket is seen at the apex of the plume toward the left. Venus appears at the top of the frame, while a bright streetlight shines on the far right. The featured image was captured toward the west after sunset from near Phoenix, Arizona. via NASA https://ift.tt/r3Cjfak

Kyiv, Ukraine – 10 February 2025
1. Various of U.S. Historian Timothy Snyder being interviewed
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Timothy Snyder, U.S. Historian and Author:
“If the Ukrainians hadn’t resisted, everybody would have been appeased and this would be a much more fascist and dangerous world than it is now. But by resisting, they gave us a chance not to appease and they’re still giving us that chance the entire time. So that particular analogy, I think, is helpful that we’re in like we’re, we’re so to speak, three years into 1938, that Ukrainians are keeping us there. They’re keeping us out of 1939, but if we drop the ball, if we don’t support them, if we let them lose, then, you know, not that it will be exactly the same, but then I think we can expect a much greater conflict.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Timothy Snyder, U.S. Historian and Author:
“Any serious historian is going to say that wars are unpredictable and that victories in war are pretty much never what you expect, for better or for worse. And of course, in a moral sense, it’s up for the Ukrainians to decide when they think it’s no longer worth fighting or what a victory is. I think if you’re a Westerner, you have to concentrate on what you can do to make some kind of Ukrainian victory possible, and to repeat myself, there’s just a very obvious strategic question, which the Trump people, for whatever reason, don’t seem to be able to face, which is that in order for Ukraine to win, you have to help Ukraine. In order for Russia to lose, you have to make things harder for Russia. You can’t just kind of wish for it.”
6. Close of Snyder’s hand and a notebook
7. Snyder being interviewed
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Timothy Snyder, U.S. Historian and Author:
“If you want to have a safe Europe, you have to have a stronger, a strong Ukraine. So, if there’s a ceasefire, that is then Europe’s hour, and if Europe doesn’t act in that hour, then things are going to get much worse, not just for Ukraine but for Europe because you’re then facing the situation of a Russia that’s had a pause starting the war again and the United States being completely absent.”
9. Snyder being interviewed
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Timothy Snyder, U.S. Historian and Author:
“War is about making the other side’s political system break and dictatorships look like they’re very strong and then it turns out they’re very brittle, whereas democracies can take hits and hits and hits and nevertheless they can look worse and still end up surviving longer.”
11. Snyder being interviewed
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Timothy Snyder, U.S. Historian and Author:
“You know Russia’s economy is as big as, whatever Belgium and the Netherlands together and Ukraine is as big as like, you know, take an American state and not even a big one. So, these are like relatively small economies, and we in the big economies are looking and saying, ‘who’s going to crack first?’ Whereas, in fact, it depends on what we do economically and the choices that we make.”

STORYLINE:
A U.S. historian and author called for continued support for Ukraine in its war with Russia to avoid a potential escalation in global conflict, during an interview in Kyiv on Monday.
“If we drop the ball, if we don’t support them (Ukraine)…I think we can expect a much greater conflict,” said Timothy Snyder.
Kyiv is grappling with shortages of men and weapons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/ckckHnwHkfI Trump to Gazans: Does it matter where you live? | Ian Explains
Beneath the Israel-Palestine conflict is a fundamental question: what does it matter where you live?
What does it matter where you live? It’s a question as old as humanity. Our ancestors first traveled the world as nomads, but once we started farming and putting down less literal roots, the land beneath our feet became a crucial part of our identity.
A handful of millennia later, it’s still the question driving the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Why must Israelis live in what they call Israel? Why must Palestinians live in what they call Palestine?
With a fragile ceasefire held between Israel and Hamas, President Trump stands beside Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, during a Washington press conference. Trump stuns the world, and apparently Netanyahu, by proposing to take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into, quote, “The Riviera of the Middle East.” To the thousands of displaced Gazans, he says, don’t go back.
President Trump is asking Gazans the same thing I asked you moments ago: What does it matter where you live? And honestly, it is a fair question for him to ask—though he’s not exactly posing the same question to Israeli settlers on the West Bank. But if the region’s bloody history has shown us anything, it’s not so much asking the question that matters but who gets to answer it.

Zevon was born in 1947 in Chicago, the son of a young Mormon woman and a middle-aged Russian-Jewish immigrant gangster. He died in 2003 after a long battle with everything.
“By rights, Warren Zevon should be regarded as central to modern American music as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen — both of whom, incidentally, revered Zevon. As it is, a decade after his far too early death, Zevon remains the definition of a cult hero, known to relatively few but utterly adored by them.” – Hadley Freeman

Here comes Jupiter. NASA’s robotic spacecraft Juno is continuing on its highly elongated orbits around our Solar System’s largest planet. The featured video is from perijove 11 in early 2018, the eleventh time Juno passed near Jupiter since it arrived in mid-2016. This time-lapse, color-enhanced movie covers about four hours and morphs between 36 JunoCam images. The video begins with Jupiter rising as Junoapproaches from the north. As Juno reaches its closest view — from about 3,500 kilometers over Jupiter’s cloud tops — the spacecraft captures the great planet in tremendous detail. Juno passes light zones and dark belts of clouds that circle the planet, as well as numerous swirling circular storms, many of which are larger than hurricanes on Earth. After the perijove, Jupiter recedes into the distance, then displaying the unusual clouds that appear over Jupiter’s south. To get desired science data, Juno swoops so close to Jupiter that its instruments are exposed to very high levels of radiation. via NASA https://ift.tt/NK31wp5

https://www.youtube.com/watch/KGJd2lxZovA JD Vance stuns Munich conference with critique on European democracy | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
At the Munich Security Conference, Europeans are taking concerns from the Trump administration seriously. Ian Bremmer breaks down JD Vance’s “lecture” to European leaders and the state of transatlantic unity in his latest Quick Take.
A Quick Take from the Munich Security Conference. Just finished with the opening speech for Vice President JD Vance. Before that, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. Literally standing room only across the conference. I can’t remember the last time it was so busy. And so busy because so many people believe that the NATO and the transatlantic alliance are at a crossroads, are facing a time of crisis.
First, the good news. The recognition on the part of the Europeans that action on their part is urgent is pretty consistent across the board. That a 2% spend on defense is not enough, that they have to take much more of a leadership role on Ukraine. That they have to be much more competitive in terms of growth. That indeed many of the criticisms that are being levied on the Europeans by Trump, as well as by Democrats and Republicans in the United States are things they have not taken adequately seriously, and now they do.

Three suns seem to hug the horizon in this otherworldly winterscape. But the evocative scene was captured during a February 3rd snowmobile exploration of the mountainous region around Abisko National Park, northern Sweden, planet Earth. The two bright spots on either side of Earth’s Sun are parhelia (singular parhelion), also known as mock suns or sun dogs. The parhelia are caused by hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the hazy atmosphere that reflect and refract sunlight. Commonly seen in winter and at high latitudes, the bright parhelia lie along the visible 22 degree ice halo of the Sun. via NASA https://ift.tt/N7lMzgV

Ivan Krastev and Timothy Snyder in Conversation
Making Sense of an Unsettling World
Ivan Krastev, Timothy Snyder, Ludger Hagedorn
13 February 2025, 18:00 CET
IWM Library
We have entered a world of uncertainty. Previous assumptions about politics, economy, and society have either dissolved or changed beyond recognition. The multilateral world order that emerged after 1945 is being swept away almost before our eyes, and military power may once more play a decisive role in global relations. Accepted norms of behavior in both domestic and international politics have been increasingly tossed aside. As individuals and citizens, we at times feel powerless and vulnerable. And we are left wondering whether the checks and balances that have sustained liberal democracies for decades are sufficient to meet the unprecedented challenges they face.
Two great thinkers of our time, Ivan Krastev and Timothy Snyder, cast light on the forces driving these developments and discussed how safety, freedom, and democracy can be preserved.
Ivan Krastev is IWM Albert Hirschman Permanent Fellow und Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia. The renowned political thinker and public intellectual publishes regularly in international media. For his writing, he was awarded the Jean Améry Prize for European Essay Writing.
Timothy Snyder is IWM Lesya Ukrainka Permanent Fellow. He holds the inaugural Chair in Modern European History at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, Toronto. The acclaimed historian and public intellectual is the author or editor of twenty books published in forty languages. He has received state orders and decorations as well as honorary doctorates.
IWM Permanent Fellow Ludger Hagedorn delivered the opening remarks.
