The film "The Known Universe" takes viewers from the Himalayas to the Big Bang's afterglow, featuring stars, planets, and quasars. This immersive journey is made possible by the Digital Universe Atlas, the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the cosmos.

Maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the Atlas underpins the film, which was also created by the Museum. "The Known Universe" was part of the 2010 "Visions of the Cosmos" exhibition at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan.

The Department of Homeland Security has waived environmental laws to fast-track border barrier construction through Texas's Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. This development threatens to damage roadless canyon country, block river access, fragment wildlife habitats for species like black bears and bighorns, and introduce artificial light pollution to Big Bend’s iconic night skies.

The Center for Biological Diversity is already in court to halt construction and access public records. An advocate condemned the administration's "disdain" for public lands, vowing to protect this "crown-jewel national park."

The Department of Homeland Security has waived environmental laws to fast-track border barriers and roads through Texas' Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. This construction threatens to damage roadless canyon country, block river access, fragment vital wildlife habitat for black bears and bighorns, and pollute Big Bend’s iconic night skies with artificial light.

Our organization is already in court to halt these plans and access public construction records. An advocate condemned the administration's "disgraceful" disregard for public lands, vowing to protect this "crown-jewel national park" and the Rio Grande.

Help us defend Big Bend and the Rio Grande. Your support is crucial.

On April 21, 2026, WECAN hosted "Indigenous Women Resisting Extraction and Building a Just Transition" during the 25th UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (#UNPFII). Speakers shared updates on campaigns defending Indigenous territories from extraction, discussed the impacts of colonization, fossil fuels, mining, and climate disruption. They also showcased community projects for Just Transition and climate resilience, offering strategies grounded in rights, traditional knowledge, and sovereignty.

Our gratitude goes to the extraordinary Indigenous women leaders and advocates from Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Turtle Island/USA. Their powerful voices highlighted critical issues and solutions.

Amid rising tariffs and supply chain disruption, Danielle Holly (Ellen MacArthur Foundation) and Tensie Whelan (NYU Stern) discuss circularity as a smart business strategy. Tensie introduces the ROSI (Return on Sustainability Investment) framework, developed at NYU Stern, which helps companies track and monetize sustainability's value, including efficiency, risk reduction, and new revenue. They explore how circular approaches shorten supply chains and mitigate geopolitical shocks.

The discussion also addresses why companies hesitate and what's needed to engage finance and governance.

Astronomer Wendy Freedman, a University Professor at the University of Chicago, discusses humanity's quest to measure the expanding universe. She highlights the "Hubble Tension"—a scientific mystery where cosmic expansion rate measurements don't match. Freedman explains how the James Webb Space Telescope is achieving unprecedented accuracy, suggesting this conflict may signal new physics. Her work inspires future generations to pursue revolutionary cosmic discoveries.

A trailblazer in observational cosmology, Professor Freedman previously directed the Carnegie Observatories and chaired the Giant Magellan Telescope project. Named one of TIME100's most influential people in 2025, she currently leads a James Webb Space Telescope program. This TEDx talk is available at ted.com/tedx.
