How Solar Storms Can Shut Down The Internet, Power Grids, And Even

The geomagnetic storm that began on May 10, 2024, generated stunning
aurora borealis, more commonly known as the northern lights, that
could be seen as far south as Mexico. They also generated headaches
for farmers whose GPS-guided tractors were idled in the middle of
planting season.

Geomagnetic storms occur when a large bubble of superheated gas called
plasma is ejected from the surface of the Sun and hits the Earth. This
bubble is known as a coronal mass ejection. The plasma of a coronal
mass ejection consists of a cloud of protons and electrons, which are
electrically charged particles. When these particles reach the Earth,
they interact with the magnetic field that surrounds the planet. This
interaction causes the magnetic field to distort and weaken, which in
turn leads to the strange behavior of the aurora borealis and other
natural phenomena.

Instead of leading the way, Google is again playing catch up, only
this time it’s to OpenAI’s ChatGPT not Amazon.

Google Assistant was supposed to be Google’s future. The voice
assistant was an early attempt at ambient computing that gave
customers a one-on-one relationship with all of the company’s
products. Sure, Google was directly responding to Amazon’s
announcement of Alexa and the Echo, but it was also deploying years of
research it had already conducted on natural language processing and
machine learning. In many ways, the Assistant was uniquely suited to
supercharge a voice-driven Google Search.

Viruses are a mysterious and poorly understood force in microbial
ecosystems. Researchers know they can infect, kill, and manipulate
human and bacterial cells in nearly every environment, from the oceans
to your gut. But scientists don’t yet have a full picture of how
viruses affect their surrounding environments in large part because of
their extraordinary diversity and ability to rapidly evolve.

Communities of microbes are difficult to study in a laboratory
setting. Many microbes are challenging to cultivate, and their natural
environment has many more features influencing their success or
failure than scientists can replicate in a lab.

Why has an Israel-Hamas ceasefire been so elusive? A timeline of key

Ever since armed conflict has existed, ceasefires have been thought of
as a bridge between war and peace. Consequently, their success has
been measured by their ability to stop violence between warring
parties for a period of time.

However, ceasefires are not a panacea. This is as true for the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict as it is for many other conflicts around
the world, like Ukraine, Syria and Sudan. Ceasefires are often just
the tip of the iceberg in terms of what needs to be done to provide
meaningful, structural security for those most affected by complex
systems of violence that transcend times of war.

When you turn on your faucet to get a glass of water or wash your
face, you’re probably not thinking about what’s in your water –
besides water. Depending on where you live and whether you have a
water-softening system, your water might contain dissolved minerals
such as calcium and magnesium. And these minerals can play a role in
whether certain pollutants such as lead stay out of your water.

The more dissolved minerals, the “harder” your water. But is hard
water actually good or bad for you?

Palestinians in Gaza have begun receiving humanitarian aid delivered
through a newly completed floating pier off the coast of the besieged
territory. Built by the U.S. military and operated in coordination
with the United Nations, aid groups and other nations’ militaries,
the pier can trace its origins back to a mid-20th century U.S. Navy
officer who collected discarded cigar boxes to experiment with a new
idea.

California is about to tax guns more like alcohol and tobacco - and

Starting in July 2024, California will be the first state to charge an
excise tax on guns and ammunition. The new tax – an 11% levy on each
sale – will come on top of federal excise taxes of 10% or 11% for
firearms and California’s 6% sales tax.

The National Rifle Association has characterized California’s Gun
Violence Prevention and School Safety Act as an affront to the
Constitution. But the reaction from the gun lobby and firearms
manufactures may hint at something else: the impact that the measure,
which is aimed at reducing gun violence, may have on sales.

Conflicts between businesses pursuing commercial objectives and

inevitably, especially when companies don’t prioritize engagement
with their neighbors. Consider the rapid expansion of the mining
sector in Latin America, renewable energy projects that underestimate
“not in my backyard” opposition, or the displacement of
marginalized groups with unwanted facility siting. In many cases, the
work has slogged on despite local protests, and drawn-out conflict has

the “last days of the High Republic,” which is about a century

Jedi at the peak of their power, when they protected the galaxy with
(seemingly) infallible grace and benevolence.

There are many reasons that environment is different from the Star
Wars most fans know, but one of the most intriguing comes from the
different combat styles that will apparently be on display. Now, as a

The original Fright Night grossed nearly $25 million in the summer of
1985, an impressive figure for a horror movie only surpassed that year
by the second outing of Freddy Kreuger. You’d expect its 1989 sequel
to be something of a big deal, but thanks to various behind-the-scenes
problems, it slipped so far under the radar that many fans weren’t
even aware of its existence.

The franchise’s slide into obscurity began when Columbia Pictures
apparently decided that Oscar bait, rather than schlocky horror
comedies whose only accolades came from the Saturn Awards, should be
their forte. New Century/Vista took up the mantle instead, but as a
much smaller company, it had to slash both its production and
distribution budget: Fright Night Part 2 opened on just 148 screens,
explaining why its box office haul was only a tenth of its
predecessor.

habit might temporarily relieve discomfort, especially when you’re

Rubbing your eyes introduces a host of potential issues, and even puts

Is Madame Web a self-aware camp classic, or a spectacular
overestimation of Sony’s Spider-Verse? It all depends on who you
ask. From a box office standpoint, the 2024 film didn’t make
Sony’s nascent franchise any more viable; it’s the lowest-grossing
film based on a Marvel character, ever. The box-office and critical
reception was so bad, that the failure of Madame Web might have Sony
reevaluating its plans for the universe: the studio was reportedly
building a handful of spin-offs around Dakota Johnson’s unlikely
heroine but might have pulled the plug since.

But perhaps time will be kind to Madame Web. Or rather, maybe Madame
Web was never destined to find its audience as a movie theater
blockbuster tentpole. Instead, it’s the kind of film that you watch
watches with friends and forget a day later. Studios are now hungrier
than ever for the next big phenomenon, the film that’s going to
reshape the world. Madame Web was never going to be that, because it
belongs to a bygone era, one where mid-budget chick flicks and
low-risk cult classics had just as much pull as superhero tentpoles.
It straddles those two worlds to varying success. Sure, it flopped at
the box office, but it’s been getting a much warmer reception with
the help of a platform like Netflix.

Even if you were flying in the most sophisticated interstellar craft
and wearing the snazziest futuristic spacesuit imaginable, a journey
into a black hole would almost certainly be your last trip anywhere.

the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy.
This version of the video simulates the experience of being sucked
into the cosmic abyss before walking viewers through the

would take a normal personal laptop roughly a decade.
