  132. - Scientsists found a way to squeeze the muons of a muon beam into a smaller volume, cooling them in a new way. This technique may allow the construction of a muon collider, similar to the LHC.*
  133. - NASA announces preliminary approval of a sample-return mission to Mars
  134. - Projections show that the number of compound hot extremes that combine daytime and nighttime heat could quadruple by 2100 in the Northern Hemisphere even if emissions are brought down to meet the Paris climate deal goals*
  135. - Study of 486958 Arrokoth's formation and evolution
  136. - First detection of radio waves related to an exoplanet:they may have resulted from the interaction between the red dwarf star, GJ 1151 and a terrestrial-mass exoplanet
  137. - Warning signs of flank instability of the Ecuadorian Tungurahua volcano which suggest risk for a large landslide*
  138. - Chinese Chang'e 4 mission to far side of Moon is analysing lunar subsurface structure: top layer of regolith of lunar soil thicker than expected
