Over 60,000 African penguins have starved to death over the course of eight years. A new study documented the penguin colonies off the coast of South Africa, on Dassen Island and Robben Island. The researchers noticed a pattern: breeding penguins starving to death during the molting season. They attributed these losses to the climate crisis...
Michel de Nostredame, more famously known as Nostradamus, is a 16th-century astrologer widely recognised for his prophecies. Nostradamus’s work has fascinated the world for nearly 500 years. He is said to have predicted major world-changing events such as 9/11 and the death of Princess Diana. His predictions, which were 942 in total, were published in...
For decades, the Beachy Head Woman existed only as an overlooked set of remains, until new research pushed her into public view. Her remains were discovered in 2012 among the Eastbourne Town Hall collections, boxed and labelled with only rough hints about a 1950s find near the Sussex coast. The first public reconstruction turned her...
President Donald Trump unveiled an ambitious naval expansion plan on Monday in an address from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. He announced plans for a new fleet of battleships called the “Golden Fleet” and revealed he approved plans for 2 new battleships. The announcement marks a historic shift in U.S. naval strategy and...
Rising sea levels are already changing local coastlines, insurance markets, and city budgets. The change is measurable, and the causes are well tested. NASA explains the mechanism with direct wording: “Sea level is rising because of added water from melting land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.” Higher baseline seas lift everyday...
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine under President Vladimir Putin has brought global fears of a possible nuclear war. This geopolitical crisis’s escalation has also brought back serious discussions about the devastating consequences that could unfold if tensions escalate into nuclear warfare. The threat of nuclear warfare currently seems distant to many Americans; however, experts warn that...
According to a radiation weather expert, a stream of high-energy particles from a supernova explosion may have triggered a sudden loss of altitude on a passenger plane. In late October, a JetBlue Airbus A320 commercial airliner traveling to Newark unexpectedly dropped altitude without warning, rapidly plummeting from 35,000 feet to 10,000 feet. At least 15...
As artificial intelligence (AI) expands and grows, many fear it might make many jobs obsolete. However, there is potential for AI in its inevitable expansion to reshape industries, change how we work and improve productivity. Senator Bernie Sanders has seized this potential as an opportunity to completely change the way we approach work and the...
A powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook a wide stretch of wilderness along the Alaska Canada border on Saturday, December 6, 2025, and people across the north felt it in different ways. The region is mostly empty land, with huge forests and sharp mountains and long roads that seem to disappear into nothing. So when the...
Solar energy is often praised for being cleaner and more sustainable than other power sources. For example, fossil fuels are finite, their sources are depleting, and they cause air pollution. Meanwhile, solar energy uses sunrays, which are unlimited and abundant (albeit weather-dependent). However, there’s an aspect to solar energy that is not environmentally friendly: land...
In 1999, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded an eerie sound deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. The organization deployed sophisticated hydrophones across the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean to detect underwater events. The loud noise, which some described as an “underwater voice” similar to a woman’s hum has baffled researchers and the...
Yellowstone has erupted three times in the past 2.1 million years, and each event buried large portions of North America under ash. The last one happened 640,000 years ago, a fact news outlets love to mention alongside coverage of earthquake swarms and steam explosions. The framing is always the same. Is the supervolcano overdue to...
