El Niño's Dreaded 'Kelvin Wave' Is About to Hit California (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Southern California communities such as Malibu, Long Beach, and San Clemente are watching their beaches disappear. In recent years, rising sea levels have swallowed huge chunks of the coastline, threatening waterfront homes. Now, an El Niño-driven phenomenon is expected to make this situation even worse. During El Niño, winds that normally blow east to west along the equator weaken and periodically reverse, creating westerly wind bursts that set off oceanic Kelvin waves. These massive, slow-movi
Starship Has Finally Gone Orbital. Now Comes the Hard Part (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a moment, it looked like Starship’s first attempt at orbital flight would end in failure. SpaceX’s megarocket launched from Starbase, Texas, Monday morning, ascending amid a blaze of fire. Roughly two and a half minutes into the flight, the Super Heavy booster separated from the upper stage and went on to make a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. Starship then performed an initial engine burn to reach space, but during the burn, one of its Raptor 3 engines suddenly shut down. Dan H
Hurricane Polo Will Hit the US Hard Without Making Landfall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, a tropical storm off the Pacific coast of Mexico exploded into a Category 5 hurricane in just 24 hours, undergoing one of the most rapid bouts of intensification on record in the eastern Pacific and leaving meteorologists gobsmacked. Some described the storm’s development as “jaw-dropping,” “truly remarkable,” and even “absolute insanity.” Polo has since weakened, but it is still a major Category 3 hurricane. It’s set to make landfall on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula
Google DeepMind's Hurricane Forecast Model Provides a Whole Extra Day of Warning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Google DeepMind is a winner of the 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair for creating WeatherNext Cyclones, a highly accurate AI weather model that gives forecasters an extra day of warning. Can a single AI model accurately forecast both the track and intensity of tropical cyclones? Meteorologists rely on a variety of forecast models to predict and track tropical cyclones, and the emergence of AI has ushered in an entirely new class of tools. Whereas traditional physical models are built on the laws of phys
Watch Live as SpaceX's Starship Attempts to Reach Orbit for the First Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SpaceX is gearing up for Starship’s 14th test flight, and it should be one for the history books. Up until this point, all Starship test missions have been suborbital, but this time, the megarocket will attempt to enter orbit and circle the planet about six times over the course of an epic 10-hour flight. After completing a wet dress rehearsal on Thursday, Starship is standing proud on the launch pad at Starbase and could lift off as early as this coming Monday. SpaceX is targeting a launch wind
