Chunky mama bear wins 2026 Nope award...

Despite both species being bears, black bears (Ursus americanus) typically won’t go to areas that brown bears (Ursus arctos) frequent. For one, brown bears are bigger, at 600 to 900 pounds to the black bear’s average of 90 to 500 pounds. Despite her large stature (and award-winning butt), a mother bear in Tongass National Forest in southeastern Alaska named Volverine instantly turned around when she noticed a female brown bear named Bullseye standing right behind her. The U.S. Forest...

The world’s oceans are crisscrossed by thousands of miles of deep sea fiber-optic cables. This immense infrastructure is the foundation for much of the planet’s international power transmission and telecommunications, but marine biologists say the lines can provide an unexpected conservation benefit. With a bit of creative retooling, the ocean cables can also function as surprisingly good microphones for monitoring endangered whale populations. “This is truly exciting, as this technology enables real-time data access over tens of , and...

For more than 50 years, space artist Don Davis has shown us worlds no camera could reach. A protégé of Chesley Bonestell, the father of modern space art, Davis went on to paint the ancient Moon for the U.S. Geological Survey, built models for Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, and was present at NASA centers for planetary encounters from Viking to New Horizons. As Voyager 1 approaches one light-day from Earth, Davis created a new artwork imagining Voyager’s view looking back...

East Aurora, N.Y. — Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) marks 25 years since the Evolved Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) ring completed its Critical Design Review in 2001. The pioneering technology helped advance space rideshare by enabling multiple payloads to share a launch and broadening access to orbit for commercial, government, and defense missions. Development of ESPA began in 1999 through a collaborative government-industry initiative, culminating in the successful completion of its Critical Design Review on January 18, 2001....

A pair of California-based engineers have built what they say may be the largest Game Boy Color ever. Standing more than nine feet and weighing around 300 pounds, the Pokémon-yellow goliath requires a U-Haul to transport and took over 1,500 collective hours in a makerspace to create. And it isn’t just for show. The giant handheld plays real Game Boy games, thanks to a pixel-perfect display scaled up from the original and software written from scratch. The designers even...

We’ll call him mellow yellow. An  “exceptionally rare” yellow-colored burbot (Lota lota) was recently caught by a team of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists in Oswego Harbor on Lake Ontario in Upstate New York.  Fish Biologist Jake Cochran displays the uniquely colored burbot collected in Owego Harbor, NY. Image: Brian Weidel/USGS Burbots are long fish that weigh about three to five pounds on average, and live in cold rivers and lakes of North America, Europe, and Asia....

(Karlsruhe, Germany, September 29th 2026) Horizon Microtechnologies is accelerating industrialisation of its metallised polymer micro-additive manufacturing platform through IP-MASS, a two-year scale-up project supported by €500,000 and reinforced by selection for ESA Phi-Lab Austria. The programme is expanding Horizon’s printing, coating and process-verification capabilities for shielding housings and other passive RF hardware, targeting up to 50,000 precision-coated satellite components and a repeatable manufacturing framework suited to constellation-class demand rather than one-off prototype production. Horizon combines precision polymer 3D printing...

Long before a mammal is born, its skin begins establishing the precise locations where hair will eventually grow. These developing hair follicles form intricate geometric arrangements that differ from species to species. But what determines where each follicle appears, and how does the body create such orderly patterns? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have identified a surprisingly simple process that may help explain this biological mystery. By studying how cells move in response to chemical signals, the...

Unusual weather patterns over Antarctica caused the ozone hole to expand dramatically in 2026, reaching one of its largest sizes on record. Despite the striking increase, scientists from NASA and NOAA say Earth’s protective ozone layer is continuing its gradual recovery and remains on track to heal later this century. The 2026 Antarctic ozone hole ranked as the seventh-largest in 48 years of observations, based on its average seasonal area. Scientists attributed the expansion primarily to an exceptionally strong...

A radical alternative to the standard picture of the cosmos is gaining attention after researchers at the University of Ottawa reported that it successfully matched several important astronomical observations. The model suggests that the Universe could be 26.7 billion years old, nearly twice the widely accepted age of 13.8 billion years, and that neither dark matter nor dark energy is needed to explain its behavior. If further research supports these findings, the theory could offer a very different explanation...

Water Surges Into Navajo Reservoir

Back-to-back extreme rain events inundated the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest in late October and early November 2026. The storms alleviated short-term drought conditions in the Southwest but caused river levels to spike to record or near-record levels in places, triggering damaging floods.  One effect of the heavy rains detected by satellites was the rapid rise of water levels in Navajo Reservoir. The change is visible in the images above, acquired on September 20 (left) and November...

A permanent lunar base will require structures resilient enough to withstand everything from cosmic radiation and micro-meteorites to moonquakes. There are plenty of building materials to choose from on Earth, but they all come with a catch: transportation storage aboard spacecraft is limited, and each additional pound of cargo will quickly ramp up costs. Engineers have spent years experimenting with ways for future astronauts to source local lunar ingredients, including fine moon dust known as regolith. Unfortunately, most require...
