Watch: Massive meteor explosion rattles houses across northeastern US
A meteor exploded high above the northeastern United States on Saturday, generating a powerful sonic boom equivalent to around 300 tons of TNT and startling residents across multiple states, Nasa and meteor experts said. The fireball broke apart over northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire at 2:06 pm local time, producing loud booms that were heard across New England and shaking buildings in some areas. "This fireball was not associated with any currently active meteor...
7.8 magnitude earthquake rocks the Philippines, triggering tsunami warnings across the region
The strongest earthquake to hit the Philippines this year was centered at sea and caused damage in a key coastal city, knocking down power and setting off 1-metre tsunami waves along nearby coasts, officials said. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Monday, killing at least one person, collapsing buildings, and sparking tsunami warnings across the region. Authorities in the Philippines and Indonesia urged residents in affected coastal regions to move to higher...
Meteor triggers loud boom and shaking felt across Massachusetts
A meteor traveling at thens of thousands of miles an hour triggered a loud boom and ground shaking that were felt across Massachusetts on Saturday afternoon. NASA confirmed a fireball, meaning a bright meteor, passed over the state at 2:06 p.m. at an estimated speed of 75,000 mph, releasing what it said was the equivalent of about 300 tons of TNT upon breakup. “It appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles above extreme northeast Massachusetts/southeast New Hampshire,” NASA said...
A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone
Abstract Whale falls are biodiversity oases at seabeds1,2,3,4,5,6, yet their record from the oceans has remained sparse and fragmentary6,7. Here we report the discovery of a vast whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone (4,616- to 7,001-m depth), extending about 1,200 km along the sea floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean. This area has a deep and extensive accumulation comprising five modern natural whale-fall communities and 476 fossil cetaceans recorded.

Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
