Newark, NJ (SPX) Nov 25, 2025
Recent measurements recorded by NJIT's new network of radio telescopes show how a rare sequence of intense flares from Nov. 9 - 14, including an X5.1 event marking 2025's strongest flare so far, jolted the ionosphere - the plasma-filled atmospheric layer essential for radio signals, GPS accuracy and satellite orbits.
The flares triggered R3 (strong) radio blackouts across Africa and Europe

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Nov 25, 2025
Researchers have identified fossils of a gigantic lamniform shark that lived off northern Australia 115 million years ago. This predator achieved massive body size much earlier in shark evolutionary history than previously known, taking a leading position in ocean food chains with large marine reptiles. The discovery emerged from an interdisciplinary analysis reconstructing size evolution in anc
