NASA released a significant update from the Perseverance Mars rover on Sept. 10, focusing on a particularly juicy tidbit for those watching from home: A small rock sample called Sapphire Canyon showed signs of potential biosignatures, or ancient alien life that may have once grown on Mars. That's possible because of the unique location where Perseverance located the sample in July 2024. It came from a rock named Cheyava Falls. This particular rock is in Jezero Crater, home to an ancient dry riv

Fed Chair Powell Says AI Probably a Factor in Concerning Unemployment Rates

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-18 21:20:48

The Fed decided to cut interest rates on Wednesday, citing a weak labor market as the reason. The latest jobs report showed that U.S. employers only added 22,000 jobs in August, down from the 79,000 in July, showing a dramatic slowing in hiring. It was the worst August report since the pandemic and it got the Federal Reserve Board concerned.
