The 102-story Art Deco icon of Manhattan
A 481-meter tsunami at Tracy Arm fjord in August 2025 has been confirmed as the second-tallest in modern records. Scientists link the event to a large landslide and glacier retreat, warning that climate-driven changes are increasing the risk of similar, high-energy waves in fjord coastal settings.
Renderings show a Beaux-Arts inspired revival of Penn Station, with a stone facade, grand concourse and 50-foot ceilings. The plan preserves Madison Square Garden, removes a theater above the tracks, and aims for a phased, six-year construction starting before 2027 while keeping the station fully operational.
A set of recent studies on interstellar objects 3I/Atlas and 3I/ATLAS indicate these visitors formed in very cold, metal-poor environments, likely 12 billion years ago, and carry abundant organic molecules. JWST and ALMA observations show isotopic signatures that point to origins outside our solar system and beyond the local stellar neighborhood, offering insights into planet formation across the galaxy.
