Space Features of the Week (27 November)

A lot of interesting things in the news this week. Even though some are not per se “new”, I found them quite captivating both in terms of implications and for the questions they raised. Answers will follow – in due time. Instead of making a traditional summary, this time I have preferred just mentioning them, provide a link and include my comments, so that you can go & pick the chosen ones.
