Canonical has recalled the ISOs for Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 shortly after release due to the discovery of hate speech in user-submitted translations for the Ubuntu installer. The translations, sourced from a third-party tool, contained offensive content. Canonical is working to re-spin the ISOs with corrected translations, and the affected images have been removed from download availability.
Astronomers can determine the origin and composition of interstellar objects (ISOs) like 'Oumuamua based on their velocity as they enter our solar system. ISOs are expected to come from the thin disk of the galaxy, which contains stars with more heavy elements. The lower an ISO's relative velocity compared to the sun, the more likely it is to fall into the inner solar system where it can be detected. ISOs from the thin disk are expected to have a lower fraction of water due to the abundance of heavy elements. The upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory is expected to discover hundreds of new ISOs, providing more insights into their origins and chemical properties.
Astronomers can determine the origin and composition of interstellar objects (ISOs) like 'Oumuamua based on their velocity as they enter our solar system. ISOs are likely comets that were ejected from other planetary systems due to encounters with Jupiter-sized planets or fly-by stars. The velocity of an ISO correlates with its composition, with lower-velocity ISOs expected to come from the thin disk of the galaxy, which contains more heavy elements. ISOs from the thin disk are likely to have a lower fraction of water. The upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory is expected to discover hundreds of new ISOs, providing more insights into their origins and chemical properties.
