A new world record for the longest lightning flash has been set by a 515-mile megaflash across the US, captured by satellite and confirmed by experts, highlighting the importance of understanding such extreme events for weather forecasting and safety.
A study using the SKA-Low pathfinder telescope found that nearly 30% of Starlink satellites in orbit emit unintentional electromagnetic radiation at low radio frequencies, which could significantly impact radio astronomy observations, especially for the Epoch of Reionization studies. The findings highlight the need for increased regulation and mitigation efforts to address satellite-induced radio interference, as current international guidelines do not regulate this type of emission.
A bright fireball, likely a meteor, was observed over the Southeast US, with reports of a sonic boom and visual sightings captured by dashcams, possibly linked to the ongoing Bootids meteor shower, though no aircraft activity was detected.
