The U.S. government is facing scrutiny over its enforcement policies affecting international students, particularly following a lawsuit where students reported abrupt cancellations of their legal status. Recent changes have resulted in the deletion of records from the student database managed by immigration authorities, causing panic among students worried about deportation. Lawyers representing the students argue that new guidelines from ICE expand their authority to revoke legal status without adequate reason. One student, Akshar Patel, who lost his status due to being included in an FBI database, is seeking legal protection against deportation. The government’s approach has been criticized for lacking…
New images of the sun from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope showcase unprecedented detail of its surface, revealing clusters of large dark solar spots linked to magnetic activity that can trigger solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These detailed visuals are key for scientists studying solar phenomena, which can impact Earth’s technology, including power grids and communications. The telescope uses a new visibility adjustable filter (VTF) to create three-dimensional views of the sun’s atmosphere, capturing images at a scale of 6.2 miles per pixel. Scientists note the importance of understanding the sun’s magnetic cycles, particularly as we approach…

Venezuela has officially lost all of its glaciers, with the last remaining one, the Humboldt Glacier, now completely gone. This glacier, once a significant symbol of resilience in a unique climate, had shrunk drastically over time and was reduced to just 2 hectares, rendering it too small to be classified as a glacier. Researchers from the Cryoshre Climate Initiative confirmed the glacier’s demise, marking a painful milestone amid accelerating environmental changes. Named after explorer Alexander von Humboldt, the glacier serves as a reminder of his early warnings about the consequences of human impact on the environment. The loss of the…

On April 28th, Amazon launched its Project Kuiper satellites, marking its entry into the growing competition against SpaceX’s Starlink. With 27 satellites now in orbit, Amazon joins several companies aiming to deploy thousands of satellites for global internet coverage. However, this rapid increase raises concerns about orbital overcrowding and collision risks. A report from the European Space Agency (ESA) indicated that over 2,500 objects were launched into low-Earth orbit in 2024 alone, driven mainly by commercial satellite constellations. This trend could lead to around 50,000 objects in orbit by 2050, posing significant risks from debris that can cause catastrophic collisions,…
