As summer winds down in West Africa, so does much of the region’s dust activity. Dust storms can still occur, though, as one did in early September 2026, when a plume covered parts of Mali and neighboring countries. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image on September 5, 2026. According to

Explanation: What does this image look like to you? Many see a giraffe facing right, with neck stretched high and long legs mid-stride (but some may see a squirrel instead). The featured image shows LDN 1295, also called the Giraffe Nebula, in the constellation of the mythical queen of Aethiopia (Cassiopeia). It is an object in the Lynds Catalogue of Dark Nebulas, compiled in 1962 by American

Credit: Ezra Acayan/Getty Text messages and a weekly 20-minute phone call from a teacher can improve children’s learning during prolonged school closures, finds a large trial conducted in five countries1. The approach offers a relatively cheap way to support children when schooling is disrupted by pandemics, natural disasters or other emergencies, say the study authors.

Generative artificial intelligence is now woven into academic life. In the United Kingdom, a March survey found that 94% of undergraduates use the technology to complete assessed coursework (see go.nature.com/45pced3). The scientific literature shows a similar shift: more than half of papers published in 2025 show linguistic traces of large language models (LLMs), compared with
