Last month was the third-warmest September on record globally, behind 2024 and 2023, according to new data analyzed by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The planet’s average surface air temperature was around 61 degrees Fahrenheit.

A new NASA-backed study—relying on data from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite—suggests that the northern hemisphere (NH) is actually growing dimmer than the southern hemisphere (SH), and that could be a big problem as the world rushes to break the planet’s climate-change-induced fever.

Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may trigger a series of geological and biological processes that could ensure the next ice age arrives on time instead of being delayed, researchers say.

Comets SWAN and Lemmon will both swing by Earth and appear bright in the sky near the end of October. Here’s how to see them.
