Above the Norm News reports on earthquakes, volcanoes, extreme weather, and major Earth events, alongside UFOs, the paranormal, and new scientific discoveries.
Science
Solar activity hastened Swift's orbital decline, and the telescope's systems were shut down after it became too low to observe.
Science
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory estimates 2026 ED138 at 600 to 1,500 kilometers across; infrared observations are needed.
Science
University of Bonn researchers documented multi-stage sleep in the fringed jumping spider (Portia fimbriata), including active REM-like bouts with retinal movements and twitching. Spiders showed ~80% increased REM-like sleep after disruption.
Science
NASA/ESA/CSA's James Webb Space Telescope analyzed the third confirmed interstellar comet, finding water ice mixed with dark rocky material. High deuterium levels suggest formation in extremely cold conditions ~10–12 billion years ago in a metal-poor environment, unlike Solar System comets.
Science
A University of Strathclyde release published by ScienceDaily describes fluorescent probes; the proposed mirror-life assay has not been experimentally demonstrated.
Science
ScienceDaily says the method uses actual atomic and electronic structures, rather than simplified models, to predict material behavior.
Science
Above The Norm News reports that the signal disappeared when the structures were broken apart. It describes an unusual quantum effect as one possible explanation.
