Neuralink Device Helps Monkey See Something That’s Not There
Neuralink's "Blindsight" brain implant is said to have enabled a monkey to perceive non-existent objects, a step toward aiding the blind. Engineer Joseph O'Doherty stated the device stimulated visual brain areas, prompting eye movements towards "visualised" targets two-thirds of the time. Neuralink's first public data on Blindsight, a chip mimickin...

Aurora Alert! Northern Lights May Be Visible as Far South as New York on June 14
A moderate G2 geomagnetic storm on June 14 could push auroras as far south as New York and Idaho, triggered by solar wind from a coronal hole. NOAA forecasts peak geomagnetic activity with a Kp index of 5.67. While increased daylight may limit visibility, skywatchers are advised to look out for northern lights during early morning hours.

New Island Forms in Caspian Sea as Water Levels Drop, Russian Scientists Confirm
Russian scientists have verified the existence of a new island in the northern Caspian Sea, first spotted via satellite in late 2024. Located 30 km from Maly Zhemchuzhny Island, the islet appeared as sea levels reached historic lows due to climate change and tectonic shifts. Although researchers couldn’t land due to shallow water, drone images ...

Hubble Finds Cosmic Dust Coating Uranus’ Moons, Not Radiation Scars
New Hubble Space Telescope observations have upended decades of expectations about Uranus’ moons. Scientists once thought the planet’s magnetic field darkened their backsides with radiation, but the latest data shows Titania and Oberon are collecting space dust on their leading sides instead. This “cosmic bug splatter” effect suggests dust ...
