Arriving on the Caribbean island of Dominica for the first time "feels a little bit like stepping into Jurassic Park," said Giovanni Petri, a professor in the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University London. Known as Nature Island, Dominica has thick rainforest, volcanic mountains with dramatic waterfalls and vibrant coral reefs that fall away into deep blue waters. But when Petri came here in August 2022, he didn't come to study the extinct Tyrannosaurus rex but the largest predator that lives on our planet today—the sperm whale.
Scientists find evidence of a solar storm near a supermassive black hole - The Brighter Side of News
An X-ray flare near NGC 3783’s supermassive black hole showed a timing pattern familiar from solar eruptions. XRISM and XMM-Newton detected the Neupert effect, supporting magnetic reconnection as the flare’s power source. A fast outflow strengthens the comparison with solar coronal mass ejections, although the magnetic geometry remains inferred. An eruption near a black hole weighing about 28 million Suns followed a pattern familiar from storms on the Sun. Its high-energy X-rays rose and fell differently from its lower-energy radiation, revealing how energy moved through the surrounding gas. The sequence suggests that magnetic fields powered both a flare and an accompanying burst of escaping material. The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concern the active galaxy NGC 3783. Gal Vardi, a doctoral student in the Technion Faculty of Physics, led the work under Professor Ehud Behar’s supervision. Collaborators from Japan, Europe and the United States helped analyze observations from the XRISM and XMM-Newton space telescopes.
Sinking Antarctic ice reveals a hidden lake's massive water loss - Phys.org
The area of the Sentinel-1 SAR IW images shown in descending orbit (yellow box) and the processed image area in this study (red box) over the ice velocity map. Kronshtadskiy subglacial lake, the target of this study, is inside the red box. Credit: Scientific Reports (2026). DOI: 10.1038/s41598-026-75829-x The Kronshtadskiy subglacial lake near East Antarctica's Amery Ice Shelf was hidden beneath Antarctica's ice, but its drainage left a mark visible from space as a broad depression that deepened by more than 6 meters (20 feet) at its center.
