Floods have brought rare relief to the Southwest as Lake Powell, the second-largest reservoir in the US, rose more than 20 feet (6.1m) from its mid-September low. Powell remains just ~25% full, though. Winter snowpack will be crucial for the water supply.

If you're wondering "WTF is a Bose-Einstein condensate," it's a phase of matter in which SOOPER-DOOPER COLD atoms slow down, sorta merge, and behave as if the collection of atoms was one big atom.
Imagine it like this: Say the atoms are tennis balls that zip around every ...
A Bose-Einstein condensate reached about 10 trillionths of a kelvin.

... they rob the balls of momentum, causing them to slow down. First they slow to a jog, then a walk, then a crawl, snail's pace, glacial, and eventually to almost, but not quite, stop.
At a certain point, something weird happens. The balls are oddly fuzzy, so they usually ...

Tuesday, 10 Nov. 2026, marks 51 years since the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a brutal storm on Lake Superior, with the loss of all 29 sailors aboard. She was later found 530 feet down, torn in half and bearing signs of taking a beating before going down.

Not every galaxy follows the blueprint.
NGC 4725 is a rare "one-armed" barred spiral galaxy wrapped in a ring of star formation.
Studying unusual galaxies like this one helps scientists understand how the gravity from a passing galaxy can trigger bursts of star formation.
ALT This is a composite image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4725 against a black background filled with stars and distant galaxies. The galaxy appears tilted diagonally, with a bright cream-colored central bar surrounded by a soft blue disk. A single prominent spiral arm wraps around the galaxy, giving it an unusual one-armed appearance. Small magenta points scattered throughout the galaxy represent X-ray sources detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The galaxy is encircled by a faint ring of star formation, while bright foreground stars sparkle throughout the surrounding field of view.
