In 1962, the United States fired a hydrogen bomb 250 miles above the Pacific and launched 27 smaller rockets from Johnston Island to collect data on it. The pulse tripped burglar alarms and knocked out about 300 streetlights in Hawaii, while electrons trapped overhead damaged or disabled satellites over the following months and formed a radiation belt that persisted for years.
21+ hour, 15+ min ago (348+ words) On a July night in 1962, streetlights went dark across parts of Honolulu, burglar alarms started ringing on their own, and a telephone link went haywire....
Hurricane Marie is spinning far out in the Pacific while its swell is already breaking on Southern California beaches, KTLA 5 reports, with the surf arriving days ahead of a storm that never comes ashore
4+ day, 20+ hour ago (94+ words) The Pacific's most powerful storms can reshape coastlines from hundreds of miles away, delivering dangerous surf long before—or even if—the hurricane itself never arrives.

ESO’s new MOONS spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope took first light able to watch about 1,000 cosmic targets at once through roughly 1,000 fibers, built to map millions of objects over its working life
6+ day, 2+ hour ago (30+ words) For the first time, astronomers can map the cosmos in bulk, capturing the light signatures of a thousand distant objects at once to unlock the history of billions of galaxies....
Astronomers using Hubble found a new roughly 104,000-mile-wide ten-sided storm forming at Saturn’s south pole, a geometric twin to the famous hexagon that has long circled the north
6+ day, 2+ hour ago (168+ words) Saturn's symmetry breaks: a ten-sided storm now mirrors the planet's legendary hexagon, suggesting these geometric puzzles obey deeper physics we're only beginning to understand. By Deep Field · Edited by Justin Brown Published September 7, 2026 · How we edit The open questions are…...
The UN's new assessment says global temperatures could be pulled back below 1.5C late this century, but the sea cannot be pulled back with them, because warm water expands and ice sheets keep shedding mass for centuries after the air above them has cooled
1+ week, 2+ day ago (29+ words) Even if humanity stops global warming mid-century, the oceans will keep rising for hundreds of years—a reckoning buried in the UN's otherwise hopeful new climate roadmap....
Kepler stared at the same 150,000 stars in Cygnus for four years without looking away, watching for the tiny dimming of a planet crossing in front of them, and the four years of staring turned up more than 2,600 confirmed worlds
1+ week, 6+ day ago (379+ words) By refusing to look away, a space telescope discovered that planets are commonplace, not rare exceptions to the cosmic rule....
On the night of 27 August 2026 the Earth's shadow will slide across a full Moon and turn it copper for more than an hour, a partial lunar eclipse visible from the Americas without any equipment except a clear sky
2+ week, 4+ day ago (28+ words) Tomorrow night, weather permitting, the full Moon over the Americas is going to do something it will not do again for more than two years. Beginning in the...
China's water-hunting Moon mission was hours from launch on Sunday when the countdown stopped — the next window may not come until 2027
2+ week, 4+ day ago (571+ words) A scrubbed launch in the race to find water ice at the Moon's poles could cost China years in its push to establish the first permanent lunar base. By The Daily Orbit · Edited by Mal James Published August 25, 2026 · How we…...
Models of the flood that refilled the Mediterranean put its peak flow through Gibraltar at roughly 100 million cubic metres a second — around 1,000 times the Amazon's average discharge — with erosion at the Camarinal Sill reaching roughly 0.4 metres a day
2+ week, 4+ day ago (105+ words) When an ancient sea vanished, its return was so catastrophic that it reshaped geology itself—yet scientists still debate exactly how violent the deluge truly was....
Why did taxonomists name a new rove beetle genus Luffy, after the One Piece pirate whose arms stretch?
2+ week, 5+ day ago (403+ words) Two entomologists described the genus from four pinned specimens collected in Yunnan and Laos, and wrote the reason for the name into the paper. It is about proportions, not powers....
