Aviation Leasing: Looking Beyond the Fuel Price Shock
Stress for airlines may be opportunity for lessors. The war in Iran is putting pressure on airlines. Higher jet fuel prices are cutting into profit margins, and the risk of a prolonged conflict may reduce travel demand in Europe and Asia. But for lessors, these gathering clouds may come with a silver lining. Lessors occupy a unique position in aviation finance because they own the airplanes—hard assets with intrinsic value—that they lease to global airline carriers.

What Are Investors Really Getting from Private Markets?
Illiquidity premia and manager skill can play key roles. Private markets have become integral to modern portfolios, with many investors searching for higher returns and diversification, including from public markets. But recent fund redemptions have reinforced that illiquidity isn’t theoretical, raising questions about the benefits of giving up liquidity. We see several—but investors must understand the trade-offs.

Brian Resnick discusses the growth of the LME market with the American Lawyer
Davis Polk partner and Liability Management & Special Opportunities practice head Brian Resnick discussed the rise of liability management exercises (LMEs) and how firms are building out their practices to meet client demand with the American Lawyer. The article highlights that LMEs are becoming increasingly commonplace and that they have rebounded over the past two quarters after falling in Q3 2025. However, Brian noted that the league tables don’t tell the full story.
Commercial Real Estate: It’s More Diverse Than You Think
Investors often view commercial real estate (CRE) through the narrow lens of the office sector. We think this office-only focus understates how broad the asset class is and its potential. Offices may face well-documented headwinds, but many other CRE segments appear more resilient. CRE spans a diverse range of asset types, including multifamily housing, industrial and logistics, hospitality, and niche sectors investors can access through both public and private markets.
Artemis II: le spettacolari immagini dal lato nascosto della Luna
Dopo aver raggiunto una distanza record dalla Terra, l’equipaggio di Artemis II ha osservato panorami mai visti prima, tra crateri misteriosi, eclissi spettacolari e viste uniche del nostro pianeta. DI Brian Resnick pubblicato 09-04-2026 Il tramonto terrestre immortalato attraverso il finestrino della navicella Orion durante il sorvolo della Luna da parte dell'equipaggio di Artemis II. La parte buia della Terra è immersa nella notte.
Posádka Artemis II spatřila sluneční koronu při zatmění, jaké lidé nikdy předtím neviděli
Pondělní průlet Artemis II kolem Měsíce přinesl nové milníky i rekordy, zároveň však hluboce rezonoval s minulostí. Posádka odletěla dál od Země než kdokoliv před ní — rekord Apolla 13 z roku 1970 překonala o přibližně 6 600 kilometrů. Spatřila části Měsíce, které žádný člověk nikdy neviděl. A pak znovu vytvořila jednu z nejslavnějších fotografií všech dob — „Východ Země“. Tentokrát s malou obměnou. Na snímku Artemis II nezapadá Slunce, ale Země.
See a jaw-dropping 'Earthset'—and a rare solar eclipse from the far side of the moon Original
Artemis II’s historic lunar flyby on Monday was one of new milestones and spaceflight records, but it was also deeply resonant with the past. After flying farther beyond the Earth than any human has ever been before—beating the record set in 1970 during Apollo 13 by about 4,102 miles—and seeing parts of the moon no humans had ever witnessed, the crew recreated “Earthrise,” one of the most famous photographs of all time, with a small twist.
Uvnitř Orionu je místo jen pro dvě dodávky a čtyři odvážné astronauty
Astronautka NASA Christina Koch se krčí v replice Orionu – lodi, která ji a tři další členy posádky Artemis II odveze kolem Měsíce a zpět. Uvnitř je těsno. Pouhých 9,3 m³ – zhruba jako dvě dodávky postavené vedle sebe. Těsné podmínky znamenají, že během desetidenní cesty budou muset astronauti pravděpodobně spát opřeni o stěny nebo technické vybavení. Uprostřed lodi se ale nachází volný prostor vedoucí k dokovacímu tunelu.
Take a tour of NASA’s new ride to the moon Original
HOUSTON, TEXAS—NASA astronaut Christina Koch is crouching in a replica of Orion, the spacecraft that will take her and three other Artemis II crew members around the moon and back. It’s a cramped space of just 330 cubic feet—about the size of two minivans. The tight quarters mean that during the 10-day journey they’ll likely have to make do sleeping near the walls or hardware. But in the center of the craft, there’s an open space leading to a docking tunnel.

Humanity is now one small step closer to returning to the moon. At 6:35 pm EDT, the Artemis II mission blasted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop the 300-plus foot-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. Now, a team of four astronauts—Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency—are on a 10-day mission to slingshot around the moon and return to Earth.
Private Credit: What It Is and Where It Fits
Private credit has been in the news lately. That’s nothing new. For years, investors have read about the potential opportunities the asset class offers and how it works. Let’s dig a little deeper into what private credit is, what it isn’t and how it can fit into a diversified investment portfolio. First things first: We consider private assets—and private credit in particular—a core building block of a diversified asset allocation.
Reaktor fuzyjny Wendelstein 7-X od środka - zdjęcia i relacja „National Geographic”
Spis treści: Miejsce ekstremalnych temperatur Jak działa stellarator? Rekordowe osiągnięcia Wendelstein 7-X Czy fuzyjna przyszłość jest w naszym zasięgu? Badacz „National Geographic” Paolo Verzone umożliwia rzadki wgląd do wnętrza stellaratora – eksperymentu, który ma dać światu niemal niewyczerpane źródło czystej energii. Ubrany w nieskazitelny biały kombinezon laboratoryjny, z białymi butami i rękawiczkami, położył się i wślizgnął w otwór niewiele szerszy od jego ciała.

Wearing a clean white lab suit complete with white shoes and gloves, National Geographic Explorer Paolo Verzone laid down and shimmied into an opening not much wider than himself. He was, as he says, “entering into a star.” Or, at least, it’s just about as close one can get to the experience on Earth.

Reslicing the Pie: Making Room for Private Credit Exposure
by Brian Resnick, CFA, Director and Senior Investment StrategistâAlternatives, AllianceBernstein How should investors think about integrating private credit into their portfolios? Over the past 15 years, the retreat of traditional bank lending has opened the door for the rise of private creditâfinancing provided to businesses and consumers by nonbank lenders, typically outside of public capital markets.
Reslicing the Pie: Making Room for Private Credit Exposure
From a traditional balanced portfolio: Some investors may create a dedicated alternatives sleeve outside the traditional portfolio. The liquid portfolio is easier to rebalance in a standard way, while the illiquid sleeve can tolerate wider allocation changes before rebalancing and do it over longer timelines—an approach institutional investors often follow.
How conservation icon David Attenborough holds onto hope
For seven decades, Sir David Attenborough has traversed the globe to document the kaleidoscopic diversity of Earth’s ecosystems. At the age of 99, he’s narrated so many television programs that his voice has become synonymous with the wonder of the natural world. But in his long career full of wild encounters, one memory still stands out.
Demystifying Private Credit
What You Need to Know A new wave of opportunity seems set to flow into private credit markets, which could enhance risk-adjusted returns and diversify portfolios. What’s driving this potential, and how should investors think about integrating private credit into their existing portfolios? We think it’s sensible to follow a set of concrete steps along the path from consideration to implementation.
“The dress” debate was the high-water mark for fun on the internet
If you were on the internet on February 26, 2015, you saw The Dress. Prompted by a comment on Tumblr, BuzzFeed writer Cates Holderness posted a simple low-quality image of a striped dress, with the headline “What Colors Are This Dress?” The answers: blue and black or white and gold. The URL: “help-am-i-going-insane-its-definitely-blue.” Do you really need me to tell you what happened next? In just a few days, the BuzzFeed post got 73 million page views, inspiring debate across the world.
The internet peaked with “the dress,” and then it unraveled

Cicadas 2024: Maps, explainers, updates about rare double brood event
Trillions of these noisy insects are set to take to the skies in the first double brood event in 221 years. Contributors: Brian Resnick and Benji Jones For the first time in 221 years, this spring will seebillions, if not trillions, of cicadas take to the skies in a rare synchronized event that will transform our ecosystems for years to come.
Watch Sir David Attenborough seduce a cicada with the snap of his fingers
In the coming weeks, billions of periodical cicadas will rise up from the ground across the midwestern and southeastern United States. As they do, they’ll sprout wings, mate, and die within a few weeks. If you live in an area where Brood XIII and Brood XIX cicadas are expected, you will not mistake their arrival. In addition to littering the ground with exoskeletons, in their frenzied quest for mates, cicadas make a ton of noise.

Is the Earth itself a living creature just like us?
In the 1970s, chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis put forth a bold theory: The Earth is a giant living organism. When a mammal is hot, it sweats to cool itself off. If you nick your skin with a knife, the skin will scab and heal. Lovelock and Margulis argued that our planet has similar processes of self-regulation, which arguably, make it seem like the Earth itself is alive. The idea wasn’t unprecedented in human history.

2024 Solar Eclipse: When is the next one? How often do they happen?
Total solar eclipses like the one crossing America today are beautiful, but they’re fleeting. Totality, when the sun is completely covered by the moon, lasts just a few minutes. And the whole thing — from the start of the partial eclipse to the end — takes just a few hours. The experience is sublime, but it’ll leave you wanting more. Here’s the good news: Total solar eclipses happen somewherein the world about every 18 months.
Everything you need to know about the 2024 solar eclipse

Eclipse 2024: How to protect your eyes during the total solar eclipse
When the total solar eclipse comes to the United States on April 8, there is one rule you must remember: Never stare directly into the sun. Even when the sun is partially obscured by the moon, its rays are still strong enough to permanently damage your eyesight. The only time to look upon the eclipse without glasses is when the sun is fully covered by the moon during totality, which only will last three or four minutes, depending where you are.
The total solar eclipse is returning to the United States — better than before
On April 8, 2024, millions of Americans will be able to see a rare celestial occurrence: a total solar eclipse. It’s going to be awesome. If you’re in the center of the moon’s shadow, known as the totality, the sky will go dark for a few minutes in the middle of the day. The temperature will drop, stars will appear, and birds will become confused and start chirping their nighttime songs.

Unexplainable podcast: 17 of the most astounding scientific mysteries
pThree years ago, Vox launched Unexplainable, a podcast about unanswered questions and what we learn when we explore the unknown. There’s a line I think about all the time from our very first episode. “Whatever we know is provisional,” Priya Natarajan, a Yale physicist, told us about research on dark matter. But the sentiment also applies to science overall. “It is apt to change. What motivates people like me to continue doing science is the fact that it keeps opening up more and more questions.

Of all the potential consequences of global warming, one of the most unexpected is that temperatures in some parts of the world could plummet. A recent paper in Science Advances outlined a scenario where, given enough ice melting into the North Atlantic, average temperatures in cities like Bergen, Norway, could drop 15 degrees Celsius (a bone-chilling dip of 27 degrees in Fahrenheit). London could drop around 10°C (18°F).

Can you change what you want? How Ozempic turns down the dial on our loudest desires.
Marco Leyton, PhD, assures me the cocaine he purchased was legal. Plus, it wasn’t for him. Definitely not. It was for recreational cocaine users who had answered Leyton’s ad in a local newspaper to do drugs and collect 500 Canadian dollars — for science. Leyton had jumped through many hoops to get to this point — getting an okay from the Canadian equivalent of the FDA, exempting him from criminal prosecution, and clearing his own university’s ethics approval.

Why leap years exist, explained in one simple animation
Mark your calendars: February 29 is on. Yes, 2024 is a leap year, which is usually momentous, and not just for the people born on February 29 who only get to celebrate their actual birthdate every four years. Leap years also typically coincidewith the US presidential election and the Summer Olympic Games. This year, people in the US will also get to see a rare total solar eclipse darken the skies.
