The photo, taken by NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, shows Perseverance's backshell in Mars' Jezero Crater. Scientists use aeroshells to help rovers land safely on Mars, with the backshell supporting the parachute and other landing mechanisms.

The call to abolish the Examination Yuan resurfaces as DPP legislator Chen Ting-fei leads a proposal with support from 29 party members, but DPP caucus convenor Ko Chien-ming states in an interview that it is not the focus of this legislative session and won't be addressed in the next 4 years, potentially contradicting his own party members. While Ko Chien-ming supports the abolition, he delays action for four years, essentially freezing the voices advocating for abolishing the Examination Yuan. Regardless, the proposal garners support from 29 party-affiliated legislators including Huang Chieh, Hung Shen-han, and Wang Shih-chien. Chen Ting-fei appeals for the establishment of a 'Constitutional Amendment Committee' under Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu to push for the abolition, while lawmakers Lin Chu-yin and Chiu Chih-wei emphasize the need for societal consensus and timing before proceeding with the amendment.

German automotive economic expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer warns that imposing tariffs would significantly increase the prices of German electric cars, making them unaffordable for consumers and negatively impacting the clean energy transition for European manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault. Demand for electric cars in Germany may further decline. Chinese electric car brands like BYD and MG currently hold a low market share in Germany but with Chinese imports contributing to about 13.7%. Dudenhöffer also mentions the possible increase in market share for Chinese brands this year. If punitive tariffs are imposed by the EU following an investigation into China's alleged illegal subsidies for electric cars, it could have repercussions for German sales. The success of the Chinese automobile industry, according to Dudenhöffer, is attributed to economies of scale rather than unfair subsidies, with a decision on tariffs expected from the European Commission this week.
