WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Monday it had recovered critical electronics from the suspected Chinese spy balloon downed by a U.S. fighter jet off South Carolina's coast on Feb. 4, including key sensors presumably used for intelligence gathering. The Chinese balloon, which Beijing denies was a government spy vessel, spent a week flying over the United States and Canada before President Joe Biden ordered it shot down. The U.S. military has said that targeting the latest objects has been more difficult than shooting down the Chinese spy balloon, given the smaller size and the objects' lack of a traditional radar signature. Austin said the U.S. military has not yet recovered any debris from the three most recent objects shot down, one of which fell off the coast of Alaska in ice and snow. But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday that the four aerial objects shot down in recent days were somehow connected, without elaborating.

Feb 13 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday that the four aerial objects shot down in recent days, including one over Yukon territory on Saturday, are connected in some way, without elaborating. U.S. military fighter jets on Sunday downed an octagonal object over Lake Huron, the Pentagon said. Trudeau said search and recovery efforts were underway for the aerial object shot down over Yukon, adding that winter weather was posing challenges. Trudeau also said he would discuss the issue of aerial objects with U.S. President Joe Biden when they meet in March. The presence of those aerial objects in North American airspace was a "very serious situation," Trudeau said.

☆ Jupiter's aurora triggered a planet-wide heat wave, a map animation reveals, solving a mystery that's puzzled scientists

An astronomer's map of a heat wave on Jupiter helped solve the planet's "energy crisis" mystery. Solar plasma triggered an aurora at Jupiter's north pole, which sent a heat wave spilling down the planet. He's still studying the features of the heat wave, which he presented at the Europlanet Science Congress in September. O'Donoghue published his team's first research linking Jupiter's aurora to planet-wide heating in 2021. They think the aurora storm and resulting heat wave came from a surge of plasma from the sun.

Metropola Montreal din provincia canadiană Quebec a doborât recordul absolut de temperatură pentru data de 25 decembrie, cu 13,6 grade Celsius, în timp ce mercurul din termometre a depăşit valoarea de 16 grade Celsius în sudul regiunii, relatează AFP. "Recordul anterior era de 11,7 grade, din 1964; am atins 13,6 în Montreal în această dimineaţă, la ora 8:00", a declarat vineri meteorologul Dominic Martel pentru AFP. Este vorba despre un record absolut pentru 25 decembrie, de la înregistrarea datelor meteorologice, în urmă cu "aproximativ 150 de ani", a spus el.Sudul Quebec, la graniţa cu Statele Unite, a cunoscut temperaturi şi mai ridicate, precum 16,4 grade Celsius în Frelighsburg. Însă, datele meteorologice din această regiune au început să fie înregistrate în urmă cu doar aproximativ cincisprezece ani, aşadar "un record pentru această staţie nu are o mare valoare ştiinţifică", a notat Martel.Anul acesta este al treilea "Crăciun verde" - fără zăpadă - consecutiv, în regiunea Montreal.Această temperatură record se explică printr-un "flux tropical, de aer cald şi umed, care s-a deplasat pe toată coasta de est din Florida şi a ajuns la noi", a explicat Dominic Martel. Este un "sistem costier neobişnuit", a adăugat specialistul.Metropola Quebec, obişnuită cu ierni aspre şi înzăpezite, a depăşit recordul de temperatură negativă pentru o zi de Crăciun în 1980, când au fost înregistrate minus 32,4 grade Celsius.În timp ce sudul Quebec şi provincia vecină New Brunswick au doborât recorduri de căldură vineri, restul Canadei a cunoscut un "Crăciun alb", cu temperaturi cuprinse între minus 1 grad Celsius în Toronto (centru) şi minus 25 de grade Celsius în Whitehorse, în teritoriul Yukon (nord-vest).
