On Monday, April 6, 2026, four astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II mission made history at 12:56 p.m. CDT. Traveling 248,655 miles from Earth, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, surpassed the record for the farthest distance any humans have ever traveled from Earth –...
In February of this year, Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, when U.S. Central Command conducted strikes against Iranian military infrastructure. These strikes targeted IRGC command centers, air defenses, and missile sites, coinciding with Israel’s Operation Roaring Lion to mark a historic level of joint military cooperation. However, on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli attacks...
Los Angeles, situated in a state with over 39 million residents, ranks as one of the most densely populated urban centers in the United States. The state’s coastal geography profoundly shapes California’s economic and cultural identity. In the past, before the advent of commercial flight, the proximity of a city to the sea was the...
Climate stories rarely arrive with this much tension packed into a single forecast. Across the Pacific, the last traces of La Niña are fading, and forecasters now see a credible path toward El Niño later in 2026. That shift would draw attention in any year, yet this is not any year. The world has just...
Climate change often reaches the public through graphs, targets, and diplomatic language. Then a single image erases that distance. Climate Central’s sea level reconstructions work with that exact force. They place familiar coastlines inside a harsher future. Havana appears to be overtaken by Caribbean water.

A healthy river in this part of the country was never supposed to be a neat, fast-flowing channel. It was a tangle of downed timber, braided side channels, and seasonal...
In recent months, headlines about Antarctica’s ice loss have circulated widely. One claim says the continent has lost an area of ice equal to ten cities the size of Los Angeles over the past three decades. Scientists studying ice loss in Antarctica recently analyzed decades of satellite observations to track how the edges of the...
Global stocks fell, and oil prices surged after the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s response. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a strike led by the US and Israel. Following the Ayatollah’s death, the Strait of Hormuz, an important trading route, began to experience disruptions. As of right now, analysts predict that...
As predictions for 2026 emerge, none of them are particularly reassuring. Without any clairvoyant assistance, 2026 has already seen the world plummet into turmoil. While some famous psychics, such as Baba Vanga and Nostradamus, predicted the year 2026 centuries ago, it is difficult to say whether predictions about our current world are based on supernatural...
