Venezuela's recent twin earthquakes, classified as a rare 'seismic doublet', have significantly reshaped the Earth's crust, as revealed by new satellite imagery. This phenomenon occurs when stress is transferred between parts of a fault, leading to closely successive quakes.
The US is in advanced talks with five companies to convert surplus plutonium into fuel for new nuclear reactors, driven by rising power demands from data centers. While companies see economic viability and an alternative to disposal, experts raise concerns over high security costs and terrorism risks associated with the dangerous material.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has expressed support for restoring Pluto's planetary status during congressional hearings on NASA's 2027 budget request. Isaacman stated he is "very much in the camp of making Pluto a planet again," adding that papers are being prepared within NASA circles to reopen scientific discussion. The dwarf planet was reclassified in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union, which introduced three conditions for planethood. Pluto met two of them but failed to clear its orbital path of debris in the Kuiper Belt. The 2015 New Horizons flyby revealed mountains, glaciers, and complex surface patterns, reigniting public fascination with the distant world.
NASA administrator Jared Isaacman has expressed support for restoring Pluto's planetary status during congressional hearings on NASA's 2027 budget request. Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet status in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union after failing to meet the IAU's requirement that a planet must have cleared its orbital path. Isaacman's comments, which referenced Pluto's discoverer Clyde Tombaugh, have reignited debate about planetary classification definitions, though any formal change would require IAU approval.
Bei einer Anhörung im US-Senat hat NASA-Chef Jared Isaacman angekündigt, sich für eine Wiederherstellung von Plutos Status als Planet einzusetzen. Die Internationale Astronomische Union (IAU) hatte Pluto 2006 aufgrund einer neuen Planetendefinition zum Zwergplaneten herabgestuft. Isaacman verwies auf Clyde Tombaugh, den einzigen Amerikaner, der einen Planeten im Sonnensystem entdeckte, und kündigte an, die NASA werde dazu Veröffentlichungen vorbereiten. Die letzte große Debatte über Plutos Status liegt rund zehn Jahre zurück.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has expressed support for restoring Pluto as a full planet during congressional testimony on NASA's 2027 budget request. The dwarf planet was reclassified in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union, which defined planets as bodies that have cleared their orbital path. Pluto meets the first two criteria but shares its Kuiper Belt region with other icy bodies. Isaacman's comments, which referenced Pluto's discoverer Clyde Tombaugh, have reopened a debate that has persisted since the controversial 2006 decision, though any formal change would require IAU approval.
