EU digital COVID-19 travel certificate officially comes into force
BRUSSELS — The new EU-wide travel pass, designed to facilitate movement across the bloc amid the coronavirus pandemic, officially comes into force on Thursday (July 1). Its aim is to enable people to travel more freely for work and travel throughout member states by reducing paperwork and doing away with quarantine. But the launch comes under the cloud of the Delta variant and EU countries, still divided over travel policy, are enforcing their own policies.

LONDON — Of all the natural disasters that can strike at life on Earth, it is asteroid strikes that have the potential to wipe out life as we know it.Just as the dinosaurs met their fate with the help of a large asteroid some 66 million years ago, humanity would be in serious trouble if a similar event occurred.Luckily scientists are building up a picture of the near-Earth asteroids that could one day cause us problems.Finding the asteroids is just the first part of the puzzle — but scientists also have some ideas about how to avoid potential future collisions.Two new missions being launched by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are going to test a method of nudging Earth-bound asteroids off course.NASA’s DART mission (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) will take off some time...
