A baffling, dangerous explosion in Yellowstone: What is a hydrothermal explosion?

Kathmandu - On Everest's sacred slopes, climate change is thinning snow and ice, increasingly exposing the bodies of hundreds of mountaineers who died chasing their dream to summit the world's highest mountain. Among those scaling the soaring Himalayan mountain this year was a team not aiming for the 29,032-foot peak, but risking their own lives to bring some of the corpses down. Five as yet unnamed frozen bodies were retrieved — including one that was just skeletal remains — as part of Nepal's mountain clean-up campaign on Everest and adjoining peaks Lhotse and Nuptse. It is a grim, tough and...

One of the worst things about it is the loneliness. It was 2018, and I was 26 years old at the time. For years, doctors had been trying to get to the bottom of some breathing issues I had. I’d already been administered every allergy test available, and I underwent a sinus surgery to improve airflow through my nasal passage. But still, I was prone to getting bronchitis, having shortness of breath, and, even with daily physical exercise, I had the lung capacity of someone double my age. My primary doctor finally decided to set me up for a chest X-ray.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
