Opinion | Coronavirus vs. Governors: Ranking the Best and Worst State Leaders

21-27 minutes Bill Scher is a contributing editor to POLITICO Magazine and co-host of the Bloggingheads.tv show “ The DMZ .” Sometimes, it takes a national crisis to change what’s fashionable in politics. A pandemic erupts, and suddenly, experts-be-damned populism loses some of its allure. A record of sober technocratic experience becomes an asset instead of an albatross. And after many years of being relegated to the cheap seats, America’s governors have been thrust into the spotlight. With President Donald Trump largely unable or unwilling to play the part of a national unifier or to take decisive action to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the leadership we normally expect from the Oval Office has instead come from state executives throughout the nation — or not. Which governors have done a better job at meeting the moment, by acting decisively and boosting morale? And which have missed the moment, dragged their feet and succumbed to petty squa...

Alien oceans could be detected by looking for surface glint

By Ryan Whitwam We’ve gotten fairly good at spotting exoplanets out there in the vastness of space, but we still know very little about them. Astronomers can usually only surmise about the surface conditions based on a planet’s size and proximity to its star, but NASA researchers are toying with the idea of looking for the glint of alien oceans as a way of detecting water. We don’t yet have the technology to study exoplanets directly, but that day is fast approaching with the instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope just a few years away . To prepare for that day, astronomers are using the only habitable planet we know of as a model — Earth. What would Earth look like if we were studying it from a few light years away? We’re used to seeing Earth from space as a brilliant blue marble in a sea of stars, but that’s only what it looks like up close. From a distance, Earth goes through phases like the moon does. During the crescent phases, the refl...
