Antarctica Geology: Scientists report a continent-scale hidden geological structure beneath East Antarctica’s ice sheet, potentially reshaping how ice flows toward the sea if parts of the ice become unstable. Marine Conservation: The Dominican environment ministry launched a pilot program using advanced ID tools to track leatherback sea turtles in Bahía de las Águilas, aiming to standardize data and boost protection. Ocean Restoration: The Great Blue Wall released a five-year impact report, citing support for tens of thousands of square kilometers of marine/coastal areas and major livelihood gains. Space & Astronomy: NASA released a visualization guiding viewers from the Milky Way’s center to Terzan 5, a dense stellar system that looks unusually ancient for its neighborhood. Quantum Physics: TU Wien researchers observed entanglement involving at least nine particles inside a centimeter-sized crystal, a step toward seeing quantum effects in everyday materials. Weather & Hazards: PAGASA says a low pressure area has an even chance to become a tropical depression (name: “Francisco”) and could strengthen the southwest monsoon; meanwhile, parts of the Philippines saw heat-index readings above 43°C. Education & STEM: Sri Lanka is rolling out a science-based preschool curriculum with UNICEF support, shifting focus toward play and activity-based learning.
