'No Cause For Concern': Civil Aviation Ministry On Ethiopian Volcanic Ash
The civil aviation ministry, along with the air traffic control India Meteorological Department (IMD), are closely monitoring the situation of ash plumes from the volcanic eruption in Ethiopia impacting flight operations.

When Will Volcanic Ash Leave Delhi, Other Parts Of India? What Weather Body Said
The volcanic ash is eight to 15 kilometres above sea level and is travelling with wind speeds of 150 km/h - leaving no impact on the already 'very poor' air quality in Delhi.

Tails Of City: Paris Rats Find Unlikely Political Ally
Gregory Moreau, a Paris district deputy mayor, is on a mission to reconcile residents with the capital's population of rats which, it is said, outnumber the inner city's two million human residents by a big margin.

‘Ghost’ Plume Found Beneath Oman May Explain India’s Ancient Tectonic Shift
A buried magma plume beneath Oman’s Salma Plateau may have nudged India’s tectonic path during its collision with Eurasia, scientists report. Named “Dani,” the amagmatic plume caused no eruptions but likely altered continental motion 40 million years ago. This discovery redefines how silent, deep mantle forces can reshape continents without...

New Study Confirms Venus Is Still Geologically Active
A new study shows Venus is still geologically active. Scientists discovered mantle plumes creating coronae on their surface, revealing dynamic inner processes similar to early Earth. This breakthrough sets the stage for upcoming NASA and ESA missions to study Venus in greater detail.

Watch: Japan's Sakurajima Volcano Erupts, Sending Ash Plume 3,000 Metres Into The Sky
Sakurajima volcano in Japan erupted on May 15, 2025, sending a 3,000-meter ash plume into the air, with authorities closely monitoring the situation.

Massive Steam Plume Spotted at Alaska’s Mount Spurr as Volcano May Erupt Soon
A significant steam plume has been observed at Alaska’s Mount Spurr, suggesting rising volcanic activity. The Alaska Volcano Observatory confirmed increased gas emissions from the summit and northern flank of the volcano, though no major change in earthquake patterns has been detected yet. Based on current observations, scientists have stated tha...

Enceladus' Geysers May Not Come from Underground Ocean, Study Suggests
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing moons, has long been thought to have water plumes erupting from its underground ocean. However, a recent study proposes an alternative explanation, suggesting the plumes may originate from a semi-liquid layer within the moon’s ice shell. Researchers believe shear heating along fractures creates slushy,...

Massive Continent-Sized Blobs Deep in Earth’s Mantle May Be Over a Billion Years Old
Massive mantle formations, called LLSVPs, have been found to be over a billion years old. These structures, sitting 3,000 km beneath the surface, slow seismic waves, indicating unique physical and compositional properties. Their stability suggests they influence Earth's geological processes, including volcanic activity and tectonic movements. Scien...

NASA Finds Black Hole Rotating at Unexpected Angle in NGC 5084 Galaxy
NASA researchers have uncovered a black hole in the NGC 5084 galaxy that rotates at an unexpected angle, revealed through re-analysed Chandra X-ray data. The black hole is surrounded by unusual X-shaped plasma plumes, indicating disruptions in the galaxy's past. A tipped dusty disk further supports this, confirming the black hole's unique sideways ...

Scientists Puzzled by a Strange Dark Spot Fading on Saturn’s Moon Enceladus
A mysterious dark spot on Saturn's moon Enceladus has baffled scientists after it faded over several years. Discovered through NASA’s Cassini mission, the spot's sudden disappearance raises questions about the moon's geology. Experts have ruled out shadows and image artefacts, suggesting that the feature could be the result of an impact or a depo...
