Mysterious Scar-Like Structure in Australia Might Have Been Caused by a Rare Tornado
A previously unknown tornado was discovered in Australia’s Nullarbor Plain by a caver using Google Earth. Researchers traced the scar, which extends over 11 kilometres, back to a November 2022 storm that brought intense winds and rainfall. The tornado, likely F2 or F3 in strength, left distinct marks on the landscape, still visible due to sparse ...

Darkest Regions of the Moon Explored Using Machine Learning Ahead of NASA’s Artemis Mission
A team of researchers have developed a method to help explore the darkest areas of the Moon that never receive sunlight. These are some of the coldest locations on the Earth's only natural satellite, and could contain ice which could be useful for future space missions. Researchers used a deep learning-driven post-processing tool and produced high-...
