That was the immediate cause, but it was poor ship design and unauthorized modifications that meant that they could not restart the main engine after the power failure. Without the main engine, they couldn't steer. I enjoyed this video on it: youtu.be/znWl_TuUPp0

New paper out! We document tornado-strength (98 mph) counter-rotating vortices that developed within California’s 2021 #DixieFire. These fire-generated vortices reshaped the fire front and spread, posing immediate risks to firefighters and civilians. doi.org/10.1175/MWR-...

If you’re anxious about the aurora because “we didn’t use to have the Northern Lights this far south,” don’t be!
The sun’s just doing a normal solar cycle like usual. We just now have cameras in our pocket that can detect aurora, and social media to spread the word to get out looking!

When beavers build dams and reshape streams, they generate habitats for #bats and other species:

A new study from Switzerland showed at activity at beaver‐dammed stream sections was 2.3 times higher than at comparable stream sections without beaver influence.

“The current circulating influenza A (H3N2) virus acquired seven new mutations over the summer, which means the virus is quite different to the A (H3N2) strain included in this year’s vaccine,” Ho said in a media statement.

First, the frogs died. Then people got sick.
An emerging area of research is uncovering hidden links between nature and human health.

Video shows lava shot over 1,000 feet into the air from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Sunday. The impressive eruption was accompanied by a "volnado," or a tornado-like swirl of dust and ash caused by the contrast between the heated air near the lava and the cooler ambient air.

Tonight the Northern Lights over Chicago. Last night was a high-bar to reach, but it's rather amazing to see the aurora borealis this active this far south of the Arctic Circle
