Otherwordly Seasons: Uranus, the seventh planet in the Solar System, is an "ice giant" that travels around the Sun while tipped on its side. NASA describes the planet as a mysterious and mostly unknown world, though new research tried to examine some of its planetary features in unprecedented detail. An international team used 20 years of data and photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope to study Uranus' atmosphere and its seasonal changes. The icy world was portrayed for the first time in 19

Across the American West, a massive glowing streak appeared in the skies last weekend — and an experimental rocket fuel seems to have been its source. As Live Science reports, the spectacular light show was almost certainly the result of spent fuel from ZhuQue-2E, a rocket from the Chinese startup Landspace that used a methane-based fuel known "methalox" as its upper stage burned. Launched on May 17, the rocket took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. On the other

Saturn’s most metal moon just got more intriguing. On Titan, clouds of methane unleash a cold, oily rain—very different from the water-based downpours we see on Earth. For the first time, scientists have collected evidence of cloud convection in Titan’s northern hemisphere, observing the moon’s methane clouds shifting over time above its eerie lakes. By combining data from the Webb space telescope and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, a group of scientists observed Titan’s clouds rising to higher

Using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope, astronomers found evidence of cloud convection in the northern hemisphere of Titan. Most of Titan’s lakes and seas are located in that hemisphere, and are likely replenished by an occasional rain of methane and ethane. Webb also has detected a key carbon-containing molecule that gives insight into the chemical processes in Titan’s complex atmosphere. Titan is an intriguing world cloaked in a yellowish, smoggy

Background Like many, I try to stay updated on tech news via Hacker News (HN) posts. I have been using HN actively for slightly more than 5 years now. During weekdays, I usually open or refresh a HN tab in my Chrome browser at least twice in a day. I then open up the links having a high number of comments or sometimes, the ones whose titles intrigue me. Roughly, this would lead to opening about 5-6 web links per HN visit. For 3-4 of those, I’d return to their respective HN posts to read the com

Sometimes, answering a long-standing problem is a matter of finding a new perspective. Take methane from cows: For years, people have been trying to eliminate the gas from cow burps in an attempt to limit the livestock’s impact on the climate. But they haven’t made a dent. That’s in part because they were looking at the issue from the perspective of a climate scientist, not a farmer. Kathryn Polkoff, co-founder and CEO of Hoofprint Biome, has been thinking about the problem more like a farmer,

The catalyst has two components. The first, a mineral called a zeolite, converts methane to methanol. The second, a natural enzyme called alcohol oxidase, converts the methanol to formaldehyde. With the addition of urea, a nitrogen-containing molecule found in urine, the formaldehyde can be turned into a polymer used in particleboard, textiles, and other products. The researchers say this catalyst could act to seal cracks in pipes transporting natural gas, a common source of methane leakage. It

There’s something odd happening under an Ethiopian national park. Volcanic and seismic activity were on the rise under a volcano named Mount Fentale, but the gas that began spouting out of the ground wasn’t what you’d expect from an impending eruption. Canadian greenhouse gas monitoring company GHGSat said in early February that the amount of methane being emitted from Mount Fentale is “substantial.” When GHGSat began measuring the emissions on January 31, they found that the volcano was spewin

Online scams are as old as the internet, but the rise of crypto has given con artists a valuable new tool — digital coins that can be transferred instantly, without oversight from banks legally obligated to monitor transactions for malfeasance. In 2023, crypto fraud cost American investors an estimated $4.8 billion, according to the F.B.I. The scams are so common that law-enforcement authorities have taken to calling them by a pithy name: Pig butchering, a rough translation of an expression wide
