Why an ancient underwater volcano in Canada is covered in nearly a million giant skate eggs
An active underwater volcano off Canada's coast has revealed a vibrant deep-sea habitat, teeming with hundreds of thousands of Pacific white skate eggs. This geothermally active seamount provides a warm, mineral-rich environment, accelerating embryonic development and creating a crucial nursery. Researchers are studying this unique interaction between volcanic heat and reproduction, highlighting its importance for deep-sea life.
How the discovery of the inner kernel may hold the answers to Neptunes migration
Astronomers have discovered a new, previously unnoticed concentration of icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt, dubbed the 'inner kernel.' This finding, made possible by advanced clustering algorithms, suggests the cold classical belt is more layered than previously thought. It offers crucial new insights into Neptune's complex migration and the early evolution of our Solar System, challenging existing models.
'5th smallest on record': Is the ozone hole over Antarctica getting smaller? All you need to know
Antarctica's ozone hole is showing significant recovery, appearing smaller and breaking up earlier this year. Scientists attribute this positive trend to global efforts under the Montreal Protocol, which has reduced ozone-depleting chemicals. While weather plays a role, the long-term outlook for the ozone layer's full recovery by the late 2060s remains promising.

Documentary claims three UFOs landed in New Mexico and George Bush knew about the 'alien' encounter
A new Amazon Prime documentary alleges three alien craft landed at a New Mexico air base in 1964, with former President George H.W. Bush reportedly informed of the encounter decades later. The film also details a secret government Legacy Programme for UFO retrieval, raising national security concerns about ongoing secrecy.
Why the Pentagon no longer trusts GPS and the quantum backup plan
Modern warfare faces a critical challenge as GPS becomes unreliable due to jamming and spoofing. The Pentagon is exploring quantum sensors, like magnetometers, that use Earth's magnetic field for navigation. While promising, these technologies require detailed maps and face hurdles in battlefield conditions, pushing for hybrid solutions to ensure military autonomy.
