Good morning —

Today's puzzle weaves together threads from around the world—space missions and distant conflicts, political movements and scientific breakthroughs, all the quiet and not-so-quiet moments that shaped the news cycle. It's a gentle reminder that the world keeps turning through crises and innovations alike, and sometimes the best way to process it all is to sit with a crossword for a few minutes. Expect about 3–5 minutes of contemplation today, a small pocket of calm in the constant stream.
