"U.S. officials now worry that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China could be factoring the shortages into calculations of their next moves, in Ukraine and Europe for Mr. Putin and perhaps against Taiwan for Mr. Xi."

Satellite imagery of Oregon yesterday evening was devastating, with an enormous amount of land being burned by wildfires.

~1 million acres have burned across the state so far in 2026, with over 100 fires currently active. Hundreds of thousands of acres burned just yesterday.

When water erupts on the ocean moons of Jupiter and Saturn, it could freeze into fluffy ice with the texture of a croissant, presenting a hazard for future lander missions.

Drying of the Aral Sea has released more than 200 teragrams of carbon from exposed lake-bed sediments, transforming the region from a carbon sink into a carbon source, according to a new study in Science.

The findings reveal the importance of recognizing carbon fluxes from drying lakes in global carbon inventories and suggest that restoring shrinking lakes could become an important tool to limit future greenhouse gas emissions. https://t.co/tHGW4v317C

@DKlemitz @PhilosophyOfPhy What you SEE is what you get. Suppose you view an object rotating about an axis perpendicular to your line of sight at a distance. All you see is its silhouette. Which direction does the object rotate? Your brain picks one direction then another. There are two theories of motion.

@Republicans Do unto others as they do unto you? It might be better to let they know what you can do. Common ground does not belong to the usurpers.

BREAKING: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill says a software glitch in the state's motor vehicle system mistakenly registered about 6,600 non-U.S. citizens to vote when they applied for driver's licenses or state ID cards.

According to Sherrill, the applicants correctly indicated they were not U.S. citizens, but the system incorrectly recorded them as citizens.

She said the error occurred under the previous administration of Gov. Phil Murphy and that some of those mistakenly registered cast ballots.

@latestincosmos Shouldn't we first answer the question of whether or not mankind has a future at α Centauri? What would a swarm of robotic probes look like?

@PhysInHistory Some questions.

Is nirvana real world or other worldly?

Could it be an illusion resulting from mental fatigue?

Is karma involved in giving up the ghost?

🌌 Astronomers have captured one of the clearest views of a young solar system forming 400 light-years away. Using ALMA, they observed the star PDS 70, where two giant planets are carving paths through a disc of gas and dust. One planet, PDS 70c, even has its own disc that could one day form moons. It's a remarkable glimpse into how our own Solar System may have looked over 4.5 billion years ago.

🚨: The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a chain of 20 galaxies, dubbed the Cosmic Vine, which stretches 13 million light-years across and dates back to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging models of early galaxy clustering.

@KatiePavlich Does the NYC government want to declare its independence of the United States of America and the principles on which it was founded?
