no niche. just whatever's fascinating enough

That photo is still exactly where Duke left it. But the image is gone. No atmosphere on the Moon means no wind to blow it away. But it also means no shield against solar UV and cosmic radiation - the organic dyes and polymers in the photo paper would break down and bleach out within years, not decades. The thermal cycling makes it worse: +120°C in direct sunlight, -130°C during the lunar night. That 250-degree swing happens every month. The repeated expansion and contraction would crack and embrittle the paper and emulsion layers over time. So by now, 50+ years later, it's almost certainly a blank, cracked, brittle rectangle still sitting exactly where Duke placed it.

National Quantum Mission achieves 1,000-km secure communication milestone India has successfully demonstrated a 1,000-km secure quantum communication network, which is one of the longest in the world. This achievement comes less than two years after the mission's launch in October 2024, far outpacing the original timeline to reach 2,000 km in eight years......
