Solar Panels and Batteries Are Changing Life in Brazil’s Amazon

Article content Outside of the Amazon’s cities and towns, about 1.2 million people live in Indigenous and riverine communities deep in the rainforest. They turn to generators but run them only a few hours a day to save fuel, which has only gotten pricier amid global supply disruptions from the Iran war.  Article content Until recently, this was

7 of the Most Bizarre Geological Features in the Solar System Include Salt Glaciers and Hailing Rocks

7 of the Most Bizarre Geological Features in the Solar System Include Salt Glaciers and Hailing Rocks

From Madagascar’s “forest of knives” to the interlocking basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway, Earth is replete with jaw-dropping geology. But so are the other planets and moons with which we share our little corner of the universe. Each has its own remarkable features — salt glaciers, sky-high geysers, methane seas. Some we understand reasonably

This X-ray image shows our solar system ‘breathing’

Illustration of the separation of the SWCX foreground emission from the cosmic X-ray sky, for the Western Galactic hemisphere. The stripe patterns visible in the SWCX image result from temporal variations in foreground emission combined with eROSITA’s scanning geometry. (Image credit: MPE) Astronomers have, for the first time, spotted the “breath of the solar system.”
