Operation Move Earth: How Ousted Syrian Leader Assad Moved Mass Grave To Secret Location
The Assad government carried out a two-year clandestine operation to truck thousands of bodies from one of Syria's largest known mass graves to a secret location more than an hour away in the remote desert, a Reuters investigation has found.

MIT Detects Traces of a Lost ‘Proto Earth’ Deep Beneath Our Planet’s Surface
MIT researchers have discovered rare isotopic traces of a “proto Earth” that existed before the giant impact that shaped our modern planet. Found deep in ancient rocks, these potassium isotope signatures reveal remnants of Earth’s earliest material, offering fresh insight into the planet’s formation and the solar system’s earliest history...

NASA Confirms Brightening Comet SWAN Could Be Visible With Binoculars: When and Where to See It
Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2), discovered via NASA’s SOHO spacecraft, is rapidly brightening as it nears its October 20–21 Earth flyby. Skywatchers should look to the western horizon after sunset to spot its vivid green coma and tail — possibly visible to the naked eye in dark conditions.

Mysterious Asteroid Impact Found in Australia, But the Crater is Missing
Scientists have identified 11-million-year-old glass fragments in South Australia that record a massive asteroid impact never before known. Despite the event’s magnitude, the crater remains undiscovered, raising new questions about how often large asteroids have struck Earth and their role in shaping its surface.

Ryugu Samples Reveal Ancient Water Flow on Asteroid for a Billion Years
Microscopic samples from asteroid Ryugu reveal that liquid water once flowed through its parent body long after its formation. The finding, led by University of Tokyo scientists, suggests that such asteroids may have delivered far more water to early Earth than previously thought, offering a new perspective on how our planet’s oceans originated.

"They Forced Me to Do That": Trump Defends 100% Tariffs On China
US President Donald Trump has said he had to impose steep tariffs on China after Beijing tightened export controls on rare earth minerals, a move that he described "he was forced to do."

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Soars to 424PPM, Marking Biggest Yearly Jump Ever
The WMO reports Earth’s atmospheric CO₂ reached 422.8 ppm in 2024 — the biggest annual rise ever recorded. Driven by fossil-fuel emissions, wildfires, and weakening carbon sinks, the surge intensifies global warming. Scientists warn that delayed emission cuts could entrench irreversible changes in weather, ecosystems, and sea levels.

NASA Plans To Deorbit The ISS By 2030, to Transition to Private Space Stations
To elevate the commercial spaceflight and enforce innovation, NASA has decided to deorbit the International Space Station (ISS) by the year 2030. A new space station will replace ISS. Significantly, the ISS will be redirected to a remote region in the Pacific Ocean.

'China Vs World': US Seeks Group Response To Beijing's Rare Earth Move
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday reiterated Washington's desire to build a "fulsome group response" to Chinese export controls on rare earths, including proposed talks with Indian officials.

Astronomers Detect Hints Of Hidden Earth-Sized Planet Beyond Neptune
Astronomers propose the existence of ‘Planet Y’, a hidden Earth-size planet that may orbit closer than the theorized ‘Planet Nine’. Based on Kuiper Belt object patterns, the study suggests a rocky world influencing orbital tilts. Experts remain divided, but upcoming sky surveys could soon confirm or rule out its existence.

Solar Wind Cuts Comet Lemmon’s Tail In Rare Disconnection Event
Astrophotographer Brennan Gilmore captured a rare “disconnection event” on Oct. 2, showing solar wind cutting Comet Lemmon’s glowing green ion tail. The comet, nearing its October 2025 flyby, displayed a vivid coma and long tail—revealing how solar activity reshapes comets in real time.
