Perry Samson was helping students conduct field experiments on supercell storms in Kansas in 2008 when one suddenly turned into a tornado and dragged him in.

Three orcas from Alaska surfaced in the waters between Washington state and Canada in March, an area where they've never been documented.

Space is getting crowded - and not just with satellites, but with the massive amounts of data theyre generating. The amount of information being generated and passed through orbit is exploding. From high-resolution Earth observation images to global maritime monitoring, its also become a critical link in our infrastructure. But theres another space this growing crowd of satellites is dependent on that is also filling up fast - the radio frequency spectrum. If we want to keep expanding our orbital infrastructure, we need to rethink how we move data around. On March 30, 2026, the European Space Agency (ESA) supported a series of eight CubeSats and one specialized payload on SpaceXs Transporter-16 rideshare mission with the overarching goals of testing high-throughput laser communication, inter-satellite networking, and in-orbit artificial intelligence processing to make space data transfer faster, more secure, and vastly more efficient.

After they stopped, the tombs continued to be used by other populations who moved in from the south.

Cities Skylines 2 has had a rough old time of things. A lackluster launch, marred by performance issues aplenty, alongside a dearth of content compared to its long-running predecessor, left it between a rock and a hard place. Despite efforts from simulation game maker Colossal Order to get it into fighting shape, it's been an uphill battle. Having taken over the mantle at the start of the year, the incoming Iceflake Studios has had its work cut out for it. Now, the developer has put out a very techy blog post outlining where it feels the big roadblocks to smooth framerates are, and is releasing a benchmarking tool to help gather data moving forward.
