Public fears like this, excited by the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan on the then-neutral U.S., led to the internment of 120,000 ethnic Japanese U.S. citizens during World War 2. Geisel, who published many patriotic cartoons during the War, supported internment, saying: "But right now, when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our skulls, it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile and warble: 'Brothers!' It is a rather flabby battle cry. If we want to win, we've got to kill Japs, whether it depresses John Haynes Holmes or not. We can get palsy-walsy afterward with those that are left.'"

This flag was designed by Brooks Harding in October 1942, and saw some use from 1943 to ca. 1948. It was sometimes called the "United Nations flag", but was never an official organizational flag of the post-war United Nations. October 1942

from https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/neutron-stars-might-be-squishy-inside/ August 19, 2024 This graph shows the mass and radius measurements for three pulsars with data from NICER. The measurements allow a range of possible values, so they are represented as oval-shape bubbles, with the darker-shaded region showing the more likely values. One pulsar, J0030, has two possible mass-radius values, with tentative new values based on additional data shown as dotted lines. Also shown are some representative equations of state, which appear as cobra-shaped lines. The newest data, from J0437 (red), clearly rule out both the softest and stiffest states of matter, while still tending toward the squishier end of what's possible.

To minimize the effects of Earth’s gravity on their alignment, the concentrator assemblies were installed from the outside edges toward the center of the plate that houses them.
The payload’s 56 mirror assemblies concentrate X-rays onto silicon detectors to gather data that will probe the interior makeup of neutron stars, including those that appear to flash regularly, called pulsars.
The Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) is a NASA Explorer Mission of Opportunity dedicated to studying the extraordinary environments — strong gravity, ultra-dense matter, and the most powerful magnetic fields in the universe — embodied by neutron stars. An attached payload aboard the International Space Station, NICER will deploy an instrument with unique capabilities for timing and spectroscopy of fast X-ray brightness fluctuations. The embedded Station Explorer for X-ray Timing and Navigation Technology demonstration (SEXTANT) will use NICER data to validate, for the first time in space, technology that exploits pulsars as natural navigation beacons.

By speculation, the Hope is linked to the famous “French Blue,” which was brought to France from India in 1668 to become part of the crown jewels of Louis XIV. The French Blue was stolen in 1792 and never recovered, but in 1830 an extraordinary 44.5-carat blue diamond—presumably cut from the missing gem—came on the market. It was purchased by Henry Thomas Hope of England and became known by its present name. In 1949 the gem was acquired from the estate of Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean by Harry Winston Inc., of New York. Ten years later, Harry Winston, Inc., presented the gem (shown here in actual size) to the Smithsonian Institution."
