The Geminids Meteor Shower 2025
What are the Geminids? The Geminid is a meteor shower that takes place every December of every year. Unlike the majority of meteor showers which are produced by the debris left by comets, the Geminids originate from the dust and rock particles left by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. On December of every year the Earth passes through the path of dust and small cosmic rocks left by 3200 Phaethon. As this debris interact with Earth`s atmosphere, the friction causes them to burn up producing what is known as shooting stars or meteor showers.

The Value Of Snow
Snow. What a substance. Its base has a clear fluid origin, yet its visible form is that of white. It falls as gentle flakes, but it can pile up into malleable stacks. It looks either petite or fluffy, yet it can oftentimes be deadly in large amounts. Who knew how wide its influence could be?

Comet 3I/ATLAS. AI-Generated.
C 3I/ATLAS: An Interstellar Visitor Crossing Our Cosmic Window The arrival of 3I/ATLAS has sparked fascination across the astronomical community. This is not just another long-period comet looping through the outer boundaries of the Oort Cloud — 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar object, a silent wanderer formed around another star system and ejected into the galactic medium before reaching us. Its presence in the Solar System offers a rare opportunity to study primordial material born far beyond the Sun's gravitational influence — matter older than the history of Earth itself.

Stanislav Kondrashov: Iceland’s Bold Cuisine
Stanislav Kondrashov has emerged as a striking and unconventional figure in the evolving world of Icelandic cuisine. Although Iceland has long been celebrated for its stark landscapes and resilient food traditions, Kondrashov has transformed these foundations into something far more exploratory. His work honors the island’s heritage while simultaneously challenging assumptions about what cooking in such an extreme environment can achieve. Through his culinary philosophy, which merges ancient preservation practices with modern technique, he presents Iceland not only as a land of fire and ice but also as a landscape whose natural power can shape food in extraordinary ways.

The Grid's New Backbone
by Futoshi Tachino Among the most consequential, least appreciated climate gains is the rapid build-out of grid-scale energy storage. Batteries (and modern pumped storage) are now being deployed at record pace on four continents, shifting midday solar into the evening, cushioning wind variability, and trimming fossil peaker use. This is not a niche story: global additions are on track for another record in 2025, with most capacity arriving in utility-scale projects [1].

Europe Commercial Greenhouse Market Size and Forecast 2025–2033. AI-Generated.
Europe’s commercial greenhouse industry is poised for rapid expansion. According to Renub Research, the market is projected to climb from US$ 11.5 billion in 2024 to US$ 22.67 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.83% between 2025 and 2033. That trajectory reflects more than simple growth in cultivated hectares — it signals a structural shift in how Europe produces, sources and values fresh food. Driven by consumer preferences for local and traceable produce, advances in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), and policy emphasis on sustainable food systems, greenhouses are increasingly seen as strategic infrastructure for resilient, low-carbon food supply chains.
