USA DAWN: NEWS AND UPDATES

Former Nickelodeon star recently completed probation after pleading guilty in attempted child endangerment case Drake & Josh  star Drake Bell has made light of the situation after briefly being reported missing and endangered by Florida police. The Daytona Beach Police Department posted an alert on their Facebook page on Thursday (13 April) saying the former Nickelodeon star – real name Jared Bell – was “considered missing and endangered”. Soon after the post was shared, the police confirmed it was in contact with Bell and that he was safe. “You leave your phone in the car and don’t answer for the night and this?” Bell tweeted about the ordeal alongside a crying-laughing face emoji. Bell recently completed a two-year probation sentence on charges he faced after he pled guilty to child endangerment in June 2021.

At the end of 2005, NASA lost one of its satellites. Now it has found it again, thanks to an amateur astronomer—but it needs to remember how to read its data. The Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) satellite was launched in early 2000 as part of a mission to observe the Earth’s magnetosphere, and how it’s affected by solar wind. The whole project cost around $132 million, and the mission was extended in 2002. Then IMAGE vanished three years later. An amateur astronomer spotted it a couple weeks ago, prompting NASA to take another look. On Monday, the space agency said the radio signals coming from the object seemed about right, but the signal needed analysis to confirm its origin. And on Tuesday, NASA said the data encoded in the signal indicated this was indeed IMAGE. What’s more, it’s still at least partially functional. “The NASA team has been able to read some basic housekeeping data from the spacecraft, suggesting that at least the m...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The husband of a California mother who went missing for three weeks said his wife was covered with bruises and burns and was chained at the waist and wrists when she was found on Thanksgiving. “Rumors, assumptions, lies, and hate have been both exhausting and disgusting,” he wrote. “I understand people want the story, pictures, proof that this was not some sort of hoax, plan to gain money, or some fabricated race war. I do not see a purpose in addressing each preposterous lie.” In a written statement to “Good Morning America” (http://abcn.ws/2g1etbY), Keith Papini also addressed social media chatter doubting his wife’s story of abduction and assault. Keith Papini has not returned several phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment. Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko told the AP on Monday that investigators have no reason to doubt the harrowing tale told by 34-year-old Sherri Papini. Keith Papini said his wife weighed just 87 pounds ...
