The bomb cyclone first brought damaging winds on November 19, as one of the northeast Pacific's strongest storms on record, and is bringing extended heavy rain and mountain snow to northern California, Oregon, and Washington through November 22. It is expected that the storm can deliver 12 to 16 inches of rain, increasing chances of flooding, mudslides, and landslides.

Exploring the Moon poses significant risks, with its extreme environment and hazardous terrain presenting numerous challenges. In the event of a major accident, assistance might take days or even weeks to arrive. To address this, Australian researchers have created a distress alert system based upon the COSPAS-SARSAT technology used for Earth-based search and rescue operations. …

Some binary stars are unusual. They contain a main sequence star like our Sun, while the other is a “dead” white dwarf star that left fusion behind and emanates only residual heat. When the main sequence star ages into a red giant, the two stars share a common envelope. This common envelope phase is a …
11 million years ago, Mars was a frigid, dry, dead world, just like it is now. Something slammed into the unfortunate planet, sending debris into space. A piece of that debris made it to Earth, found its way into a drawer at Purdue University, and then was subsequently forgotten about. Until 1931, when scientists studied …
