The current global hot streak persists as February brings record-breaking high temperatures to the winter season and world’s oceans.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the ninth straight month, Earth has obliterated global heat records — with February, the winter as a whole and the world’s oceans setting new high-temperature marks, according to the European Union climate agency Copernicus. The most recent record-breaking event in this ongoing rise in temperature due to climate change involves sea

The discovery of ancient stone tools in Ukraine suggests a date of over 1 million years ago, making them potentially the oldest in Europe.

A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that stone tools unearthed in western Ukraine could possibly be the earliest indication of human occupation in Europe. Archaeologists dug up chipped stones made from volcanic rock in Korolevo during the 1970s. They utilized innovative techniques to determine that the sedimentary rock layers surrounding the tools

A severe lack of rain in Mexico City led to a rainwater catchment basin catching fire and burning for a full day.

Mexico City is currently experiencing severe drought and water scarcity, to the extent that a rainwater catchment basin caught fire and burned 75 acres of dried-out vegetation on Tuesday. The Mexico City fire department reported that the fire was contained by late afternoon, but images released by the department depicted a layer of smoke still

The population of Mexican gray wolves is increasing, however, the limited variety in their genetic makeup remains a significant danger.

The number of Mexican gray wolves in the southwestern United States is increasing, but conservation organizations are expressing concern about the ongoing issue of inbreeding and its impact on the genetic diversity of this endangered species, which poses a threat to their ultimate survival. On Tuesday, officials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and

How is it possible that a whale typically found in the North Pacific has been spotted off the coast of New England? Climate change may be the determining factor.

Scientists have verified the existence of a whale near New England that had become extinct in the Atlantic Ocean 200 years ago. This is an exhilarating revelation, but it also highlights the effects of climate change on marine creatures. On March 1, a team from the New England Aquarium in Boston discovered a grey whale

on the path! Can you specify your location for the total solar eclipse happening on April 8th? You still have the opportunity to secure a spot along the path.

On April 8, people all over North America will have the chance to witness a total solar eclipse. With only a limited time left, it’s time to decide where you’ll be to experience the darkened skies – whether on land, sea, or air. Individuals residing within the 115-mile-wide (185-kilometer-wide) area of complete darkness may simply

-hunting efforts It has been discovered that Jupiter’s moon Europa may contain lower levels of oxygen than previously thought, which could hinder the search for signs of life.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — New research suggests there’s less oxygen on the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa than thought — and that could affect what if any life might be lurking in the moon’s underground ocean. Scientists believe that there could be microbes thriving in the ocean beneath Europa’s icy surface, even in

Four fresh astronauts are embarking on a mission to the International Space Station, where they will remain for a duration of six months.

Four astronauts departed for the International Space Station on Sunday to supervise the arrival of two new spacecrafts during their six-month assignment. A Falcon rocket from SpaceX took off at Kennedy Space Center, transporting NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, along with Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin. The astronauts are scheduled to arrive

A volcanic eruption on a deserted Galapagos island causes lava to flow into the ocean.

A volcano on a deserted island in the Galapagos Islands has recently started erupting, illuminating the dark sky as molten lava flows down the slopes and heads towards the ocean. The La Cumbre volcano, located on Fernandina island, began its eruption on Saturday around midnight, which experts from Ecuador’s Geophysical Institute believe could be its

caused by “reckless” behavior Tour operators in New Zealand have been ordered to pay $7.8 million in fines and reparations for a volcanic eruption that was caused by their “dangerous” actions.

The government of New Zealand has announced that tour operators and managers of an island where a volcanic eruption claimed the lives of 22 people in 2019 have been instructed to pay a sum of approximately $13 million (equivalent to US$7.8 million) in penalties and restitution. Last year, a three-month trial concluded that a boat
