- The remote Heard and McDonald Islands were included in new tariffs by the Trump administration, despite not being visited by humans in nearly a decade.
- Australia's trade minister called the tariffs a mistake, indicating a rushed decision-making process.
- The islands, listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, are home to unique ecosystems featuring numerous penguins and seals.
- Analyses suggest the tariffs are based on incorrect data, as shipments were mislabeled regarding their true origins.
"It just shows and exemplifies the fact that nowhere on Earth is safe from this."— Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the new tariffs.

Key Facts: NASA Plans Astronaut Return from Extended Space Mission

- NASA is expected to soon announce when and how to bring back two astronauts stranded in space for over two months after launching on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams launched in early June for a mission intended to last just over a week, but technical issues forced an extended stay.
- Engineers and technical experts are currently reviewing data to consider various options for the astronauts' return to Earth. Ken Bowersox, NASA's associate administrator, indicated that the analysis should be completed next week, followed by a formal review, potentially at the end of next week or early the following week.
- NASA must decide whether to fly Wilmore and Williams back on the Starliner or use a SpaceX Dragon capsule. If they choose SpaceX, the astronauts would remain on the International Space Station for an additional six months. NASA could modify the upcoming Crew-9 mission to accommodate their return in February.
- No decision has been made yet, but it is vital to finalize a plan soon to manage space station resources effectively. During their extended mission, Wilmore and Williams have engaged in scientific experiments and maintenance tasks. Joe Acaba from NASA emphasized that astronauts rely on the expertise of engineers and will follow the necessary instructions.
