Federal Court Blocks Dismissal A federal court has ruled that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can remain in her post while she challenges President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove her. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, appointed by President Joe Biden, granted a preliminary injunction, saying the administration’s arguments for dismissal failed to establish valid grounds.

The discovery was made at a leading observatory and later confirmed by archival images dating back several years, revealing that the object has been maintaining its unusual trajectory for more than half a century. Unlike traditional satellites that are locked by gravity, quasi-moons are not captured by…
