France's tallest mountain, Mont Blanc, has decreased in height by over two meters in the past two years, measuring at 4,805.59 meters (15,766.4 feet). The decline may be attributed to lower summer precipitation. The mountain's peak measures 4,792 meters above sea level, but its ice and snow covering varies annually due to weather conditions. Researchers have been measuring Mont Blanc every two years since 2001 to study the impact of climate change on the Alps. The recent measurements were conducted by a team equipped with high-tech tools and a drone.
New research suggests that Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, is still shrinking. The planet's interior has been cooling down, causing its rock and metal composition to contract. The shrinking has resulted in the development of thrust faults on Mercury's surface, known as lobate scarps. These scarps are believed to be about 3 billion years old, but recent evidence indicates that some of them have continued to move in geologically recent times. The findings were based on observations of small fractures called grabens, which suggest that the latest movement on Mercury's surface occurred within the past 300 million years. The joint European/Japanese BepiColombo mission, set to orbit Mercury in 2026, will provide further confirmation of these findings.
New research suggests that Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is still shrinking. As its interior cools down, the rock and metal of the planet contract, causing the surface to develop "thrust faults" or wrinkles. The age of these faults has been difficult to determine, but recent evidence indicates that many of them have continued to move in geologically recent times. The upcoming BepiColombo mission aims to confirm these findings and provide more insight into Mercury's geological activity.
Target has announced the closure of nine stores across the United States, including locations in New York City, the San Francisco Bay area, Portland, and Seattle. The company cited organized retail crime and theft as the primary reasons for the closures, stating that they pose a threat to the safety of employees and customers and contribute to unsustainable business performance. Target's decision comes as retailers express concerns about shrinkage and loss of profits. However, critics argue that retailers may be attributing too much of their losses to organized crime. The affected stores will remain open until October 21, and employees will be offered the opportunity to transfer to other locations.
