La gran antena de radio de la Agencia Espacial Europea en España transmitió el vals al cosmos el sábado. Los operadores apuntaron la antena hacia la Voyager 1, la nave espacial más distante del mundo, a más de 24.000 millones de kilómetros (15.000 millones de millas) de distancia. Viajando a la velocidad de la luz, se esperaba que la música alcanzara a la Voyager 1 en menos de 23 horas.La Orquesta Sinfónica de Viena interpretó “El Danubio Azul” durante la transmisión espacial, que en realidad envió una versión del ensayo. La operación forma parte de las celebraciones este año por el 200 aniversario del nacimiento de Johann Strauss II, quien nació en Viena en 1825. El envío espacial de Strauss también conmemora el 50 aniversario de la fundación de la ESA.

Lanzadas en 1977 y ahora en el espacio interestelar, cada una de las dos Voyagers lleva un disco de oro lleno de música, pero nada del rey del vals. Su “Danubio Azul” tiene un significado especial para los fanáticos del espacio: aparece en la película de ciencia ficción de Stanley Kubrick de 1968 “2001: Una odisea del espacio”.Winters were brutal throughout most of New England in Colonial America. It snowed a lot, often into spring, and there were no radiators (or antibiotics). Many settlers didn’t survive the season, but because the ground was frozen solid, the colonists couldn’t bury their dead in real time. Funerals had to wait until the spring thaw., however, don’t follow calendars. They grow, bloom, fruit and go dormant on their own schedules, dictated by the weather. The settlers knew this, so they watched one specific tree — Amelanchier — for cues: When its white flowers were in bloom, it meant the soil was soft enough to dig graves.

Preachers then went from settlement to settlement to perform funeral services, earning the harbinger tree its common name: serviceberry. Or so the story goes.(True or not, it’s the more interesting of the two bits of lore about the tree, which is also sometimes called shadbush or shadblow because its blooms coincide with the shad fish’s migratory season.)

Because it’s one of the earliest spring bloomers, the serviceberry is an important food source for

and mammals, including humans, who can make them into jams, jellies and even serviceberry wine.Yet on Thursday Walmart

in response to the tariffs and will do so even more in June and July just as families gear up the back-to-school season. The company counts 90% of the U.S. population as customers and price hikes at the nation’s largest retailer may start to sink in with Americans who have already been buffeted by post-pandemic inflation.The survey found consumers are increasingly worried about rising inflation. Over the next 12 months, consumers expect inflation to jump to 7.3%, the highest since 1981 and up from an expectation of 6.5% last month. Over the next five years, they foresee inflation reaching 4.6%, the highest since 1991, up from 4.4% last month.

Those expectations typically run higher than actual inflation, which, the lowest level in more than four years. Still, economists and the Federal Reserve closely watch inflation expectations, because they can become self-fulfilling. If people are worried inflation will accelerate, they may take steps, such as demanding higher pay, that can push up prices.
