Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day.

5 things

1️⃣ Lunar landings

Particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been carried into space by solar wind and have been landing on the moon for billions of years, according to a new study. The findings solve a long-standing astronomy puzzle.

2️⃣ Why Greenland?

Tensions over control of the Danish territory could be reaching a breaking point. CNN’s Nic Robertson heads to Nuuk, the capital city, to find out what residents there are feeling and understand the strategic significance.

3️⃣ Childhood vaccines

After the Trump administration announced sweeping changes last week, pediatricians are trying to make sense of how the new guidance will affect families. Here’s what parents need to know.

4️⃣ A bumpy ride

Tesla’s robotaxi service is running behind schedule, though the company’s stock has surged on Elon Musk’s big promises. EV sales — the main source of revenue — are sputtering, which makes 2026 a critical year.

5️⃣ Controlled chaos

Season 2 of “The Pitt” showcases another 15-hour day in the life of the emergency room doctors and nurses. Actor Noah Wyle promised things would get complicated, and he wasn’t exaggerating.
