Apollo Joins $11.5 Billion Race for German Gas Giant Uniper

Apollo Global Management has submitted a non-binding bid for German energy giant Uniper, joining some of Europe’s biggest energy and investment groups in a sale that could value Germany’s largest gas importer at around €10 billion ($11.6 billion), Reuters reported. Germany took control of Uniper through a €13.5 billion bailout in 2022 after Russia slashed pipeline gas deliveries and the company was forced to replace contracted Russian supplies at much higher market prices. Berlin currently owns 99.12% of the company. Apollo…

The far side of the moon provides clues to a past magnetic field

Unlike Earth, the moon no longer has a core-generated magnetic field. On our planet, the movement of liquid iron in the outer core generates a global magnetic field. This so-called geodynamo works on a similar principle to a bicycle dynamo, which converts mechanical motion into electrical energy. "Today, there is an ongoing heated debate as to whether the moon also operated a dynamo in the past," says Xi Yang, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich. This is because analyses of rock samples brought back to Earth by the Apollo astronauts are contradictory.
