Democrat Aaron Rouse has won a special election for a state Senate seat in Virginia after his Republican opponent conceded in a race that was widely viewed as a proxy fight over abortion. Democrats will have a 22-18 majority in the state Senate, and Rouse is expected to provide a crucial vote against efforts by Gov. “Reproductive rights and freedom in Virginia have been hanging by a tenuous thread, especially in the wake of Roe being overturned, and the only thing standing in the way is a one-vote margin in the Virginia state Senate," Tarina Keene, the executive director of REPRO Rising Virginia, said Wednesday. During the campaign, Rouse said protecting access to abortion was a priority, vowing on his website that he would “not compromise” on abortion rights. In his State of the Commonwealth address Wednesday, Youngkin called on the General Assembly to pass a 15-week ban.

☆ Gorgeous animation shows how the Earth changes with the seasons

An animation showcases how the seasons change with Earth's orbit around the sun. Earth's angle causes very specific weather patterns and daylight during the course of a year. That ancient bump is what caused the Earth's seasons — times of the year that have very specific weather patterns and hours of daylight that vary depending on the latitude. Earth’s seasons are caused by its axis being tilted about 23 degrees. The angle of the Earth's tilt is relatively stable, but there are some slight shifts over large time scales (tens of thousands of years).

Gray nurse shark numbers have declined in recent years, leading to the species being listed critically endangered.
