The A23a iceberg had been spinning on the same spot for months
World’s biggest iceberg, A23a, is on the move again
LONDON — The world’s largest iceberg is on the move again, drifting through the Southern Ocean after months stuck spinning on the same spot, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have said.Spanning an area of 3,672 square kilometers (1,418 square miles) when measured in August – slightly bigger than Rhode Island – the A23a iceberg has been carefully tracked by scientists ever since it calved from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986.It remained grounded on the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea floor for more than 30 years, probably until it shrank just enough to loosen its grip on the seafloor.Then, the iceberg was carried away by ocean currents before it became stuck again in a Taylor column – the name given to a spinning vortex of water caused by ocean currents hitting an...

This humpback whale, photographed here off the Pacific coast of Colombia, made an epic migration
Whale makes epic migration, astonishing scientists
LONDON — A humpback whale has made one of the longest and most unusual migrations ever recorded, possibly driven by climate change, scientists say.It was seen in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia in 2017, then popped up several years later near Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean — a distance of at least 13,000 km.The experts think this epic journey might be down to climate change depleting food stocks or perhaps an odyssey to find a mate.Ekaterina Kalashnikova of the Tanzania Cetaceans Program said the feat was "truly impressive and unusual even for this highly migratory species".The photograph below shows the same whale photographed in 2022, off the Zanzibar coast.Dr Kalashnikova said it was very likely the longest distance a humpback whale had ever been recorded traveling.Humpback...

Nasa delays astronaut flight around the Moon
WASHINGTON — US space agency Nasa has announced a further delay to its plans to send astronauts back to the Moon.The agency's chief, Bill Nelson, said the second mission in the Artemis program was now due for launch in April 2026.The plan had been to send astronauts around the Moon but not land in September 2025. The date had already slipped once before, from November of this year.That will mean that a Moon landing will not take place until at least 2027, a year later than originally planned.The delay is needed to fix an issue with the capsule's heat shield, which returned from the previous test flight excessively charred and eroded, with cracks and some fragments broken off.Nelson told a news conference that "the safety of our astronauts is our North Star"."We do...

Drug-resistant infections are most prevalent in critical care units
India's 'blockbuster' drugs to take on deadly superbugs
MUMBAI — Antibiotics are hailed as medical saviors.But they are increasingly facing a crafty adversary: bacteria that mutate and adapt and outwit the very drugs designed to defeat them and cure the infections they cause.These antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" directly caused 1.14 million deaths worldwide in 2021, according to The Lancet, a medical journal. Antibiotics – which are considered to be the first line of defense against severe infections – did not work on most of these cases.India is among the countries hardest hit by "antimicrobial resistance". In 2019 alone, antibiotic-resistant infections caused around 300,000 deaths. They alone are responsible for the deaths of nearly 60,000 newborns each year.But some hope is on the horizon. A number of promising...
