Colossal Solar Hole Unleashes Geomagnetic Storm Toward Earth
A massive coronal hole, over 1 million kilometers wide, has opened in the Sun's atmosphere, releasing a solar wind stream toward Earth, potentially causing geomagnetic storms from May 20-22 and a possible stronger storm on May 23; the cause is the current solar maximum.

Cosmos 482 probe falls into Indian Ocean after decades in orbit
The Soviet Cosmos 482 probe, launched in March 1972 to explore Venus but failing to leave Earth's orbit, re-entered the atmosphere on Saturday and fell into the Indian Ocean west of Jakarta, Indonesia, as predicted by Roscosmos.

Accelerating Sea Level Rise Poses Catastrophic Threat
Global sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, primarily due to human-caused global warming, resulting in a 4-inch increase since 1993 and projected increases of 6 inches globally and up to 12 inches in the US by 2050, with potentially catastrophic consequences in the future.
