Over 5,500 species found living and thriving in a proposed deep-sea mining zone
Rich in battery-metal nodules, the Pacific's vast Clarion-Clipperton Zone has become a deep-sea mining hotspot, holding 17 international exploration contracts.

This week the launch services contract was signed for the Heliospheric Pioneer for Solar and Interplanetary Threats Defence - #Henon - mission, ESA’s first stand-alone deep-space CubeSat, confirming that the pioneering spacecraft will fly onboard Ariane 6, alongside ESA’s Plato mission: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Shaping_the_Future/Deep_space_pioneer_Henon_signs_to_launch_with_Plato

Why climate scientists need to talk more about the very worst‑case scenarios
London is underwater. The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and the Bank of England are all submerged. Far away, the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have collapsed, triggering accelerated sea-level rise which, combined with a storm surge in the North Sea and a high spring tide, has led to water flooding over the Thames Barrier. Thousands of shops, offices, schools and houses are several feet deep in effluent-rich water.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has spotted a massive new crater on the Moon
that scientists say was created in a rare, once-in-a-century impact.
The newly named McGetchin crater is 728 feet wide
— about the length of two football fields
— and 141 feet deep, NASA said in a release.
It is the largest newly formed impact crater ever found in the solar system.

The finding shows that impacts can alter the lunar surface far beyond the crater itself.

Can neurons speak? Semantic narration of vision at single-cell resolution
Identifying what individual neurons encode in higher-order visual cortex is an open problem. Responses resist intuitive parameterization, and the deep-network embeddings used in their place are black boxes. Here, we introduce NEURRATOR, a framework that decodes spiking activity into free-form natural-language narration of the viewed scene at single-neuron resolution. A learned encoder maps spike trains from arbitrary subsets of simultaneously-recorded neurons into the patch-embedding space of a…

Good reflections by Bryan Cantrill on AI-experts and fear-mongering:
"We cannot expect the public to understand the inner workings of all technology ... : technology is too broad, too deep, and too core to all of our lives to expect everyone to understand everything; we must — at some level — trust domain experts. When those domain experts sow fear, it is the fear that takes root, propagating much more readily than any evidence that may follow it."

Fossil-fuel carbon fingerprint reaches the deep North Atlantic #NorthAtlantic

Fossil-fuel carbon fingerprint reaches the deep North Atlantic
The use of fossil fuels alters both the concentration and the carbon isotope composition of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since surface water exchanges carbon dioxide with the atmosphere, this also alters the isotopic composition of the carbon dissolved in the ocean. In a new study, a team from MARUM—Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen has now determined how deep this so-called Suess effect has already penetrated into the North Atlantic.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed without evidence that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s peeling lining was the work of vandals.
An independent analysis has concluded otherwise.

The Washington Post found that the extensive gashes in the pool liner were likely the result of improper application.
The Thursday report noted that the tears appeared in at least seven places

Reflecting Pool peeling probably caused by application flaws, experts say
President Donald Trump has blamed vandals, but a Washington Post analysis finds that the peeling tracks closely with stages of the renovation process.
