1.2 Million-Year-Old Antarctic Ice Core Retrieved
After a decade of drilling in Antarctica, scientists retrieved a nearly 3-kilometer-long ice core containing ice at least 1.2 million years old, which will be analyzed to understand past atmospheric and climate changes and the evolution of life in extreme environments.

Unexpected Powerful Solar Flares Possible in 2025 Despite Peak Passing
Professor Sergey Yazyv of Irkutsk State University revised the peak of the current solar cycle to six months prior, predicting powerful but infrequent solar flares in 2025 due to the complex magnetic fields created by the Sun's uneven rotation and plasma convection.
