I see several problems with the Journal of Philosophy’s reporting here. I recognize that others have already tried to defend the journal but I think those defenses are very poor (if nonetheless understandable). It’s an embarrassment that a journal would only accept one article in six months even if it will ultimately come to accept a greater number than that over …

Kristin Cabot, 52, reportedly filed for divorce last month in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where she had been living with her 60-year-old spouse, Andrew Cabot. Both Byron and …

A remarkable geological phenomenon has been observed in the floodplains of Kazakhstan, where a colossal sandy formation, nicknamed the “sandy slug,” is slowly moving across the landscape. This unusual event has been documented by both ground observations and satellite imagery, including striking images from NASA’s Earth Observatory, which captured the dune field’s gradual migration. Scientists are particularly intrigued by how …

A coronagraph captured this sublime image of the Moon crossing the Sun’s path. Studying the Sun is crucial for monitoring space weather, as events like coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can disrupt satellites, power grids, and GPS navigation. And yet this scientific research can create beautiful art. Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) captured something magnificent on one of …

The Inouye Solar Telescope captured this image of a solar flare on August 8, 2024. (Image credit: NSF/NSO/AURA, CC-BY) The world’s largest solar telescope just captured the highest-resolution images of a solar flare to date — and they’re spectacular. Researchers trained the Hawaii-based Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on the final stages of a powerful X-class solar flare on Aug. …

A brief flare lit up Saturn during a home telescope recording session in Hampton, Virginia a few weeks ago. The flash appeared between 9:00 and 9:15 UTC. If it marks a real strike, it would be the first time anyone has captured an impact on Saturn on video. The moment is unconfirmed, and that uncertainty matters. A single bright frame …

Never-before-seen footage has captured thousands of catfish climbing a waterfall in southern Brazil — the first detailed observation of the species migrating. Bumblebee catfish (Rhyacoglanis paranesis) get their name from the black spots on their orange bodies and their tiny size, with the fish reaching just 3.5 inches (89.2 millimeters) in length. The small jumping fish were filmed scaling slippery …

A semi-truck driver has been arrested after he took an illegal U-turn that claimed three lives on the Florida Turnpike. A video of the deadly incident shows the …

According to Zelenskyy, Russia has failed to conquer the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine, which Moscow has pushed to control since 2014. Russian President Vladimir Putin “has been unable to take it for 12 years, and the constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible … to give up territory or trade land,” Zelenskyy said. The New York Times reported on Sunday …

While most people witness only the familiar crack of thunder and flash of lightning from storms on Earth, brilliantly-colorful electric fireworks detonate much higher, in the thin air up to 55 miles overhead, easily seen from the ISS. These brief spectacles – blue jets, red sprites, violet halos, ultraviolet rings – are collectively known as transient luminous events, or TLEs. …
