A pair of California-based engineers have built what they say may be the largest Game Boy Color ever. Standing more than nine feet and weighing around 300 pounds, the Pokémon-yellow goliath requires a U-Haul to transport and took over 1,500 collective hours in a makerspace to create. And it isn’t just for show. The giant
We’ll call him mellow yellow. An “exceptionally rare” yellow-colored burbot (Lota lota) was recently caught by a team of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists in Oswego Harbor on Lake Ontario in Upstate New York. Fish Biologist Jake Cochran displays the uniquely colored burbot collected in Owego Harbor, NY. Image: Brian Weidel/USGS Burbots are

Back in 1998, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft became the farthest human-made object to ever travel beyond Earth. That technically means the intrepid explorer has been constantly breaking its own record for the last 18 years. But on November 18 (at 5:18 a.m. EST, to be exact), Voyager 1 will set a very specific and significant
Back-to-back extreme rain events inundated the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest in late October and early November 2026. The storms alleviated short-term drought conditions in the Southwest but caused river levels to spike to record or near-record levels in places, triggering damaging floods. One effect of the heavy rains detected by satellites was
