Everything you ever wanted to know about supermoons, blue moons, monsoons, and more.

When the Moon is at or near its closest point to Earth and is full, it is known as a “supermoon.” During this event, the full moon appears larger and brighter in the sky because it is a bit closer to us than usual.

Doctors have started testing the world’s first mRNA lung cancer vaccine in patients. This vaccine, known as BNT116 and made by BioNTech, is being trialed in 34 research sites across seven countries: the UK, US, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and Turkey.

Russia’s Shiveluch volcano erupted following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake off the eastern coast of the country, reported by state-run media outlet TASS.

NASA’s Cold Atom Lab, a pioneering facility on the International Space Station, has advanced the potential of quantum science in space. The science team has used one of the lab’s tools to measure subtle vibrations of the space station — marking the first use of ultra-cold atoms to detect environmental changes in space.

Today, the National Geographic Photo Ark celebrates 18 years of highlighting the world’s biodiversity. To mark this milestone, we are pleased to announce the addition of the 16,000th species to the list: the Santa Cruz long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum croceum).

Warming global climate is altering the vegetation structure of northern forests. This trend will persist through the end of the century, based on NASA research.

Actually, something could go wrong, according to a new study. Oaks and sweetgums, which currently make up most of New York City’s trees, produce large amounts of volatile compounds called isoprenes.

Four researchers from the Institute of Photonics at Leibniz University Hannover have created a new transmitter-receiver system for sending entangled photons through an optical fiber.

Memory loss and attention deficit are common in people who have survived severe COVID-19. These and other cognitive impairments have also been seen in mild cases more than 18 months after infection, according to a study by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil.

Check out the picture above. The barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 is interacting with a smaller galaxy to its upper left. The smaller galaxy has likely taken gas from NGC 6872 to feed the supermassive black hole at its center.
