The UN climate summit failed to deliver a clear plan to phase out fossil fuels, leaving the EU increasingly isolated.

The United States withdrew from climate negotiations, creating both a political and financial gap, with President Donald Trump dismissing climate change as a con job. Countries heavily dependent on fossil-fuel revenue, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, opposed any target or timeline for phasing out fossil fuels. One day before the summit ended, the EU threatened…

Scientists have long debated Theia, the vanished planet thought to have formed the Moon.Astronomers in France, Germany, and the United States analysed lunar and Earth rocks to track Theia.New research suggests Theia formed much closer to the Sun than previous models predicted.For over 50 years, the giant impact theory has explained the Moon’s birth.Theia collided with the early Earth about 4.5 billion years ago, scattering debris.That debris coalesced into the Moon and mixed with material from both bodies.Theia disappeared completely, leaving no direct chemical evidence, which complicated studies of its origin.Astronomers now use rock analysis to reconstruct Theia’s properties and…

A Weekend Filled With Frustration Lewis Hamilton expresses clear disappointment after another difficult race weekend in Las Vegas.

Hamilton calls the result “terrible” and says he sees “nothing positive” in the day. He tells a UK radio station that he only wants the season to end. He adds that he does not…

Website Shift Sparks Immediate AlarmThe CDC revised major parts of its website on Wednesday, adding wording that questions long-settled research on vaccine safety. The updated language implies scientists have not fully ruled out a link between vaccines and autism. Experts warn that this framing distorts strong evidence and risks confusing parents. Edited Text Creates False UncertaintyThe new page argues that saying “vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence-based because studies cannot examine every possible scenario. Specialists say this tactic introduces artificial doubt. Alison Singer of the Autism Science Foundation explains that science cannot prove an absolute negative. She says…

Officials said no other related cases have been found and there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission. People who had close contact…
