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

EPA delays rules for existing natural gas power plants until after the November election

The Environmental Protection Agency announced on Thursday that it would postpone the implementation of regulations intended to reduce emissions from current natural gas power plants, which produce dangerous pollutants and contribute to the issue of climate change. According to the agency, they remain on schedule to establish regulations for coal-powered and newly constructed gas-powered plants

The first lunar lander from the United States to land on the moon in 50 years has malfunctioned and tipped over one week after successfully touching down.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon since the Apollo astronauts fell silent Thursday, a week after breaking a leg at touchdown and tipping over near the lunar south pole. The lander, Odysseus, from Intuitive Machines performed beyond the company’s expectations despite sustaining damage to its solar power

According to a recent study, the ski industry in the United States is facing billions of dollars in costs due to climate change, and its future is heavily contingent on reducing emissions.

According to a recent study, United States ski resorts have suffered a significant financial loss of $5 billion over the course of 19 years due to the effects of climate change caused by human activity. If emission levels are not reduced, this loss is projected to continue at a rate of around $1 billion per

The initial drone exploration of the melted fuel within the Fukushima Daiichi reactor has been stopped due to a malfunction in the equipment.

The Japanese government announced on Thursday that they were unable to continue their plan to use drones to investigate one of the impaired reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant due to malfunctioning equipment. On Wednesday, two drones were able to enter the reactor and inspect the molten fuel debris and damaged areas that

A Russian rocket successfully launched an Iranian satellite into orbit.

On Thursday, a Russian rocket successfully sent an Iranian satellite into orbit, highlighting the growing partnership between Moscow and Tehran. The Roscosmos corporation of Russia announced that a Soyuz rocket successfully launched from the Vostochny launch site in the eastern part of the country, carrying a satellite from Iran and 18 satellites from Russia into

The American moon module is still operational despite suffering damage to its leg and falling. However, its functioning may not last much longer.

Company officials reported on Wednesday that the initial private American spacecraft that landed on the moon suffered a broken leg upon touchdown and was at risk of losing power. The photos were released on Wednesday by Intuitive Machines, the company responsible for constructing the lander. These images, taken six days after the landing, revealed that

Officials from the Russian space agency announce that the air leak at the International Space Station does not pose a threat to its crew.

Officials from Russia’s space program have confirmed that there is still an air leak in the Russian section of the International Space Station, but they have stated that it does not pose a threat to the crew. The state corporation Roscosmos reported that experts were overseeing the leak and the team routinely addresses potential areas

One group of scientists have come up with a novel concept for tackling the issue of a warming planet: reducing moisture in the upper atmosphere.

Scientists in Washington have developed a new idea for potentially decreasing Earth’s rising temperatures: Manipulate the upper atmosphere to reduce its moisture. Water vapor — water in its gas form — is a natural greenhouse gas that traps heat, just like carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and gas. So researchers at the National Oceanic

Why is it that our modern species are no longer born with tails like our ancient animal predecessors?

According to a recent report from Washington, scientists have determined that our distant animal predecessors possessed tails, but humans no longer do. Approximately 20-25 million years ago, apes separated from monkeys and our branch of the evolutionary tree lost its tail. Since Darwin’s era, researchers have been curious about why and how this change occurred.
