Anishinaabe artist Henry Guimond has designed a mission patch for Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen to wear during the Artemis II lunar mission. The artwork features seven symbolic animals representing the Seven Sacred Laws of Anishinaabe custom, intended as a universal message for humanity that will literally travel beyond Earth's orbit.
In institutional news, the Uffizi Galleries in Florence confirmed they were targeted by a cyberattack but denied reports of data loss or security breaches.
