Astronomers may have just stumbled across a ghost galaxy hiding in plain sight — a small, starless, fast-moving cloud of gas that checks all the boxes for what’s known as a “dark galaxy.” And if the discovery holds up, it could help plug one of cosmology’s most puzzling holes: the mysterious “missing satellite” problem. The team’s research, published today in Science Advances, describes AC G185.0–11.5, a compact hydrogen cloud tucked inside a larger high-velocity cloud (HVC) known as AC-I. The

Ahead of Earth Day next week, Apple has provided an update on its “Apple 2030” goal to become carbon neutral across its entire footprint. The company says it has now surpassed a “60 percent reduction in its global greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015 levels.” Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, touted this accomplishment in a statement today, but noted that the work is only getting harder as we approach 2030: “We’re incredibly proud of the

An emergency situation that turned out to be mostly a false alarm led a lot of schools in Los Angeles to install air filters, and something strange happened: Test scores went up. By a lot. And the gains were sustained in the subsequent year rather than fading away.

The EU is getting further from its goal of weaning off Russian fossil fuels by 2027. Imports of Russian gas rose by 18 percent last year, a new analysis finds. “It is a scandal that the EU is still importing Russian gas,” said Pawel Czyzak, an analyst at energy think tank Ember and lead author of the new report. The spike in imports comes despite the fact that demand for gas stayed flat, according to the report. While the EU is aiming to disentangle itself from Russia, it still lacks a legally
