C/2024 S1 was a sungrazer, a comet that passes within a distance of about 850,000 miles (1,367,942 kilometers) from the sun. “Comets are really hard to predict, and sungrazing comets like this are even harder than most. NASA“Statistically, it’s extremely rare for sungrazing comets to survive (as they fly) past the Sun,” Battams told CNN in an email. A handful of larger sungrazing comets have been observed surviving their close pass by the sun, such as comet C/2011 W3 Lovejoy in 2011. However, any debris from C/2023 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS or C/2024 S1 will not pass near enough to Earth to produce a meteor shower, Cooke said.

Last week, DEEP announced a precursor to the Sentinel, a smaller underwater habitat which the company will use to develop systems for the Sentinel but will also be released as a separate product. An underwater habitat placed on the seabed near the wreck could have served as a base for divers instead, said Wolpert. OAR/National Undersea Research Program (NURP)Aquarius replaced Hydrolab after it was decommissioned. OAR/National Undersea Research Program (NURP)Dennison, of the University of Maryland, said Hydrolab was damp, cramped, lacked indoor plumbing, and had only three beds for four occupants. Wolpert said that DEEP is more than a habitat, it’s also a platform for engaging the next generation.

CNN —The two Navy SEALs who the US Navy declared dead after they went missing while conducting an operation on January 11 off the coast of Somalia have been identified as Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher Chambers who was 37 and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram who was 27, the US Navy announced Monday. Blake Chaney, commander of Naval Special Warfare Group 1, said in a statement that Chambers and Ingram “were exceptional warriors, cherished teammates, and dear friends to many.”“Chris and Gage selflessly served their country with unwavering professionalism and exceptional capabilities,” Chaney said. According to biographies provided by Naval Special Warfare Command, Chambers, from Maryland, enlisted in the Navy in May 2012 and had served with SEAL units on the West Coast since 2014. Ingram, from Texas, enlisted in September 2019, immediately going into pre-special warfare training after completing boot camp at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, Illinois. “During this expansive search operation, airborne and naval platforms from the US, Japan, and Spain continuously searched more than 21,000 square miles to locate our missing teammates.

Two Navy SEALs went missing off the coast of Somalia during a night mission on January 11. It's now conducting recovery operations, but experts say their bodies will likely never be found. AdvertisementThe bodies of two Navy SEALs lost at sea earlier this month will probably never be found, military experts said. Airborne and naval platforms from the US, Japan, and Spain took part in the "expansive" search-and-rescue operations, per CENTCOM. He added: "Our prayers are with the SEALs' families, friends, the US Navy, and the entire Special Operations community during this time."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The 10-day search to rescue two Navy SEALs lost in the Arabian Sea during a mission to board a ship and confiscate Iranian-made weapons has been ended and the sailors are now considered deceased, the U.S. military said Sunday. In a statement, U.S. Central Command said the search has now been changed to a recovery effort. “We mourn the loss of our two Naval Special Warfare warriors, and we will forever honor their sacrifice and example," said Gen. Erik Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command. They loaded onto small special operations combat craft driven by naval special warfare crew to get to the boat. The U.S. Navy ultimately sunk the ship carrying the weapons after deeming it unsafe, Central Command said.

Walsh died Nov. 12 at his home in Myrtle Point, Oregon, his daughter, Elizabeth Walsh, said Monday. “I knew we were making history,” Walsh told The World newspaper of Coos Bay, Oregon, in 2010. “There was an opportunity to pioneer,” Walsh told The World. It wasn’t until later they told us what they had in store.”Walsh was born Nov. 2, 1931, in Berkeley, California. Walsh traveled the world, including many trips to Antarctica, where the Walsh Spur pointed rock is named in his honor.

AdvertisementAdvertisementUkraine doubled down on claims on Friday that it had damaged a Russian patrol ship near Sevastopol with "Sea Baby" drones. If confirmed, the strike could add to long-term pressure on Russia's ability to maintain and repair its Black Sea Fleet, experts say. Russia is already barred from bringing reinforcements to its Black Sea Fleet. AdvertisementAdvertisement"Consequently, the Black Sea Fleet will have to be increasingly prudent with its remaining assets," he added. AdvertisementAdvertisementThis squeeze on the Black Sea Fleet ultimately hampers some of its ability to project power over those waters, Germond said.

They even painted some ships with camouflage stripes, hoping it would confuse drone sensors. But the latest Ukrainian missile attack on a shipyard in Sevastopol damaged two ships anyway. The Russian Black Sea Fleet's base in Sevastopol, a city in Russia-controlled Crimea, was attacked by missiles in the early hours of Wednesday. It is unclear if the two vessels hit in Wednesday's attack had the camouflage stripes painted on them. AdvertisementAdvertisementUkraine's plans to strike Sevastopol and the Russian Navy's fleet have been a long time coming.

One, the T-38 Devil Ray, which can reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour — faster than just about any other vessel in the Navy — was awaiting its next assignment. Alongside it was the Ocean Aero Triton, whose solar-power system allows it to operate for three months at a time without any need to refuel. He said he found enormous enthusiasm for the idea among frontline commanders in the Pacific and the Middle East. “We are trying to improve Navy power, but we need to do more than that: We need to reimagine Navy power,” he said in an interview this summer, just after retiring from the Navy. It is vital that we throw off old conventions.”

Together, experts say, these efforts aim to enhance China’s military reach, which currently includes only one operational overseas naval base in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa. “It’s a question of when – not if – China will secure its next overseas military outpost,” he said. This photo taken on August 1, 2017, shows Chinese People's Liberation Army personnel attending the opening ceremony of China's new military base in Djibouti. The Hambantota commercial port in Sri Lanka has long been considered a prime candidate for a Chinese naval base. However, China’s path to developing permanent overseas bases, if indeed that is its aim, is not straightforward.

A video filmed at a Florida beach during a thunderstorm showing lights in the sky is being falsely shared as footage captured moments before the fire in Lahaina, in Hawaii’s Maui County, in August 2023. “Looks like a direct energy weapon to me,” reads a Facebook post sharing the video, which shows streaks of lights in the sky filmed from a shore (here). It was also shared on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption “What’s that in the Maui sky... just before the ‘fire’ #MauiFire” (here). Reuters has fact-checked similar false claims that DEWs or other secret attacks are to blame for the wildfires (here), (here). Video filmed at Florida beach predates Lahaina, Maui, fire in August 2023.

A clip of a 2014 explosion at a gas station in Russia has been edited to make it appear as if a light beam was responsible for the fire. The earliest iteration Reuters could find of the unedited video was uploaded by a Russian news agency RIA Dagestan on Aug. 9, 2014 (timestamp 1:10) (youtu.be/-zvo7xXs-T0?t=72). The explosion was caused by a gas leak in the city of Makhachkala in Russia’s Republic of Dagestan, an RIA Dagestan report said (here). Reuters located the video to Prospekt Imama Shamilya, Makhachkala – the same location listed in the RIA Dagestan report (bit.ly/3saxAtT). The video has been online since at least August 2014 where no such beam can be seen before the explosion.

Russia is painting some of its warships with camouflage stripes, an open-source analyst said. The ship might also appear smaller thanks to the dark paint against the water. In his own analysis, Sutton noted how dark the water often appears in such imagery, making it an effective camouflage for dark paint. The use of naval camouflage would be an interesting return for a tactic more associated with World War 1 and World War 2. The British navy pioneered the use of "dazzle" stripes and patterns in World War 1, as seen below on the USS Minneapolis, which were intended to confuse onlookers as to the speed and direction of vessels.

In Mr. Rush’s telling, innovation was the province of maverick individuals, not stodgy legacy players and certainly not cumbersome government bureaucracies. That story is often wrong, and it was 100 percent wrong in this case. Realizing this could be a powerful military communications tool, they worked with the U.S. Navy to develop technologies that exploited this sound channel. As its name suggests, Aluminaut was developed with the Reynolds Metals Company, one of the largest aluminum companies in the world. What the Navy and Woods Hole were not willing to do, however, was to risk lives.

Opinion | The Only Positive of Smokemageddon
  + stars: | 2023-06-09 | by ( Peter Coy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The rivers of smoke pouring into the United States from Canadian wildfires have lowered temperatures by blocking sunlight from reaching the ground. It may be the only positive aspect of Smokemageddon (or whatever the TV weather forecasters are calling this). Imagine if the opposite happened and wildfires typically raised surface temperatures. “It’s reassuring that there’s not going to be a positive feedback” from forest fires to smoke to more forest fires, Michael Fromm, a meteorologist for the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, told me on Thursday. Fromm told me that wildfires haven’t yet been incorporated into the giant computer models that are used to forecast climate change.

The first images showing the curvature of Earth from space were not captured on April Fool’s Day in 1960. However, pictures showing Earth’s curvature have been taken from space or near-space orbit since Oct. 24, 1946. There are earlier images taken from other objects in space or near-space orbit that also show the planet’s curvature. Rocket-borne cameras captured the first photos of Earth from roughly 65 miles above the surface on Oct. 24, 1946 (here). Photos from space or near-space orbit show Earth’s curvature years before April 1, 1960.
U.S. scientists have achieved “ignition” — a fusion reaction that produced more energy than it took to create — a critical milestone for nuclear fusion and a step forward in the pursuit of a nearly limitless source of clean energy, Energy Department officials said Tuesday. The process imploded a tiny capsule inside the hohlraum that is filled with deuterium and tritium, creating a fusion reaction. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory"We have taken the first tentative steps toward a clean energy source," said Jill Hruby, the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration. The Inflation Reduction Act provided millions in new funding for fusion projects and the White House this year convened the first fusion summit and developed a 10-year plan to commercialize fusion technology.
