On March 29, 2026, World of Frozen – Along with Many New Experiences – Will Open within Disney Adventure World, the Reimagined Second Park at Disneyland Paris - The Walt Disney Company

Disneyland Paris is undergoing a transformation of sorts. They opened with just a Disneyland park, and a shopping area like downtown Disney. 

Later, they opened a second park as the Paris studios, which was kind of a themepark and kind of a movie studio. 

But it lacked the punch Disney wanted, and so they announced in November that they would be updating the park and re-theming it as Disneys Adventure World. It will be something much more and allow it to have a cohesive theme.

The James Webb Space Telescope may have finally found the 1st stars in the universe | Space

This is amazing…. The James Webb space telescope has been hunting for hints to the origin of the universe. 

And scientists think they have found a cluster of stars that might be among the first created after the Big Bang. 

It took a fair amount of study, but based on certain markers (like elements detected and red shift placement), it seems they are on to something.  

And now, we may be one step closer to understanding the universe and its origins. 

Cool!

A new set of eight spacecraft images reveals the interstellar comet 3I ATLAS in astonishing clarity

Here's a more detailed look at what the 3I/Atlas turned out to be, and how scientists came to these conclusions, based on what they saw. 

It's amazing how little we know about our universe, and how not everything fits neatly into what we have learned to this point. 

And for what it's worth, I enjoy reading fact-based articles that show how we apply science and keep an open mind.
