From today's featured article  Plaque marking the location of Rosée's shop Pasqua Rosée (fl. &thinsp;1651–1658 ) opened the first coffee-house in London and possibly Britain. He was born in the Republic of Ragusa (now southernmost Croatia). In 1651 he became the servant of Daniel Edwards, an English merchant of the Levant Company living in Smyrna (now İzmir, Turkey); Rosée prepared Edwards's daily coffee. After Edwards returned to London, he set up Rosée as the proprietor of a coffee-house near the Royal Exchange. As Rosée was not a freeman of the City of London he was not able to trade; accordingly Edwards had the freeman Christopher "Kitt" Bowman join Rosée as a partner. The last known reference to Rosée was in 1658, after which Bowman ran the shop with his wife until his death in 1662. The building was destroyed in the 1666 Great Fire of London. On its location is a late-19th-century structure, housing—in the 21st century—a pub, the Jamaica Wine House; a commemorative plaque (shown) is now on the spot, unveiled in 1952—the tercentenary of the founding of Rosée's shop.

The name of the award was chosen because a lodestar is "a star that guides or leads, especially in navigation, where it is the sole reliable source of light—the star that leads those in uncharted waters to safety." The nomination and selection process is administered by the World Science Fiction Society, and the award is presented at the Hugo Award ceremony at the annual World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon, although it is not itself a Hugo Award. In the five years the award has been given, 22 authors have had works nominated. Each year has seen a different winner: the 2018 award was given to Nnedi Okorafor, the 2019 award to Tomi Adeyemi, the 2020 award to Naomi Kritzer, the 2021 award to Ursula Vernon under the alias T. Kingfisher, and the 2022 award to Naomi Novik (pictured). Vernon has had works nominated three times (as Kingfisher), and six other authors have been nominated twice. (Full list...)
