So they want to go and find out what is that date. It is our responsibility to make sure people are safe. Drake does bring — he supports our city and we’ll chat with him.” Fire crews in Toronto hosed down a 25-foot tall ice sculpture that had been installed to promote a new album by the rapper Drake.

Please Resist the Urge to Drink the Melted Sludge From 3I/ATLAS

Please Resist the Urge to Drink the Melted Sludge From 3I/ATLAS

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has come and — mostly — gone. Scientists have been fascinated by the intriguing lump of ice and dust as it careened into the inner solar system last year, making its closest pass of the Sun in the fall and careening by the Earth on its way out. In the upcoming weeks, it’s expected to have a close encounter with Jupiter before it leaves our star system for good. Meanwhile, researchers are continuing to pore over the wealth of data gathered by ground- and space-based telescopes about the rare visitor, which was only the third interstellar object to be spotted passing through our solar system. As detailed in a new paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, an international team of researchers including NASA scientists examined observations of the object made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) between August and October, the months leading up to its closest pass of the Sun, or …

Northern Greenland ice dome melted before and could melt again

Northern Greenland ice dome melted before and could melt again

Researchers working at Prudhoe Dome in Greenland Caleb K. Walcott-George An ice dome in northern Greenland once melted completely at temperatures the region could experience again this century, a finding that will begin to paint a more accurate picture of how fast the melting Greenland ice sheet could raise global sea levels. Researchers drilled 500 metres down through the centre of Prudhoe Dome, a bulge of ice the size of Luxembourg in the north-western corner of Greenland, to collect a 7-metre core of sediment and bedrock. A dating technique using infrared light showed that sand at the surface of the core was bleached by the sun about 7000 years ago. That means the dome was completely melted at that time. Summers in the area then were 3°C to 5°C warmer than today, temperatures they could reach again by 2100 under human-made climate change. “This is very direct evidence that the ice sheet is as sensitive as we feared to even a relatively small amount of warming that happened in the Holocene,” says Yarrow Axford at …
