While the score of this exhibition is ultimately meaningless, New England took the lead at the midway point, which should have been expected as they cycled the majority of their starters — unlike Carolina. Mac Jones and the Patriots’ first-team offense did get off to a bit of a sluggish start and scored points on their two drives, but found a groove heading into the second quarter. There they put together a 10-play, 81-yard drive that culminated in a Ty Montgomery rushing score....

She needed time to think, to let it sink in, as she had just dipped her feet into the water where Jesus was said to have been baptized, in the Jordan River. “It’s very deep,” said the 53-year-old visitor from Indiana. “I’ve never walked where Jesus walked, for one thing.” Tourists and pilgrims come to the site from near and far, many driven by faith, to follow in the footsteps of Christ, to touch the water of the river, to connect with biblical events....

Originally known as the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory (OAO) C, it became OAO 3 once in orbit in the fashion of the time. But it was also renamed to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543). The Polish astronomer formulated a model of the solar system with the Sun at the center instead of the Earth, breaking 1,300 years of tradition and sparking a scientific revolution. Equipped with the largest ultraviolet telescope ever in orbit at the time, as well as four co-aligned X-ray instruments, Copernicus was arguably NASA’s first dedicated multiwavelength astronomical observatory....
