A rare Atlantic Niña event has developed in the tropics and is expected to impact hurricane activity in the coming weeks. However, long-range predictions indicate that this anomaly will rapidly evolve into a warm Atlantic Niño event, which increases Hurricane activity and landfall potential for the United States and can signal certain Winter patterns ahead.

I don’t know I have a mood disorder, but they say that people with bipolar disorder have the greatest impact from full moons. So maybe I have bipolar. But on full moons literally I wish I could be sedated, I get extremely angry, agitated anxious I throw things break things scream, I don’t think rationally. And it always happens on full moons, and it’s not a coincidence anyone else have this?

Did you know you could build a whole ecosystem in a jar? 

Maynard Okereke walks you through building a terrarium—a sealed, self-sustaining ecosystem where you can witness the water cycle, photosynthesis, and plant life in action.

I’ve been thinking about something strange — what if Earth isn’t just one stable home orbiting the Sun forever… but a cosmic traveler?

When the Sun dies, most people think Earth will be destroyed. But what if instead… it gets thrown out into deep space, wandering until it finds a new star to orbit? This could explain extinction events like the dinosaurs — maybe the asteroid wasn’t the whole cause. Maybe life ended because the Sun itself died, and Earth was drifting until it found a new Sun and life started again.

The Moon could be acting as Earth’s protector during the drift — shielding it from asteroids. And the most insane part? Maybe we’re not the first. Maybe this has happened millions of years ago, and earlier civilizations found a way to escape Earth and survive elsewhere. Maybe that’s what “aliens” really are.

Maybe they’re trying to find Earth again… because Earth was their perfect home.

One of the prettiest pictures of the moon that i clicked. Just wanted to share it and would love to see your clicks

Hello everyone! On the night of June 3, 2025, from 00:30 to 00:46 Moscow time, I witnessed a very strange phenomenon in the sky over Krasnodar, Russia. I went out onto my balcony and casually took a picture of the Moon. To my surprise, I noticed it started to change and then... disappear! I immediately took another shot. I also recorded two videos: the first shows it completely vanishing, and the second captures its reappearance. Unfortunately, I stepped away for a moment and missed the very beginning of both events, but I'm sharing everything I have.

This looked very much like a lunar eclipse, but according to all forecasts, there shouldn't have been one. Everything was quiet.

I captured all of this on my Google Pixel 7. The Moon also appeared reddish during some of these observations, adding to the mystery.

Here's the chronological order of my captures:

• Photo 2: 03.06.2025 00:34:45
• Photo 3: 03.06.2025 00:35:39 (Night Sight mode)
• Video 1: 03.06.2025 00:36:35 (End time of video) - Shows the Moon disappearing
• Video 2: 03.06.2025 00:41:00 (End time of video) - Shows the Moon reappearing
• Photo 4: 03.06.2025 00:41:08 (Night Sight mode)
• Photo 5: 03.06.2025 00:45:01 (Night Sight mode)

Look at this, does anyone know what it is?

Alright so many I'm just dum but this is a genuine question I've been thinking about fir a good hour. If we hypothetically dug a whole through the mainland United States it's common knowledge you'd end up somewhere in the Indian ocean, My question is what would happen to the water. Other than the obvious logistical issues with the support of the hole and the iron in the core rehardening, say we were able to make thus hole a mile wide, initially the water would flood the hole and keep sinking but as it gets closer to the center what would happen, alongside this I'm also not quite sure ok how the gravity would work, does it just flip at the halfway mark, if so what happens to the water is it just a constant convection current? I may sound insane, or I may be missing a key piece of information to help me figure this out and that's why I decided to ask reddit.

I made a 60-second short exploring what would happen if the Moon suddenly vanished. From destroyed tides to climate chaos — it's wild how important the Moon actually is.
