According to an analysis of tree rings going all the way back to year one, 2023 was the hottest summer in the Northern Hemisphere in over 2000 years.

.

HuffPost reports that scientists analyzed over 10,000 tree rings to determine temperature levels dating back two millennia.

The team from the University of Cambridge and the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that the summer of 2023 was 2.2 degrees Celsius above average.

The temperature from June to August 2023 was compared to average temperatures from the same period between year one and 1890.

.

When you look at the long sweep of history, you can see just how dramatic recent global warming is.

2023 was an exceptionally hot year, and this trend will continue unless we reduce greenhouse gas emissions dramatically, Ulf Büntgen, Cambridge Department of Geography, via HuffPost.

HuffPost reports that 2023 saw global record-breaking ocean temperatures, widespread wildfires across the continent and scorching heat in cities.

It’s true that the climate is always changing, but the warming in 2023, caused by greenhouse gases, is additionally amplified by El Niño conditions, so we end up with longer and more severe heat waves and extended periods of drought, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.

Upcoming Lyrid Meteor Shower May Be Hard to See [Video]

Upcoming Lyrid Meteor Shower May Be Hard to See

Upcoming , Lyrid Meteor Shower , May Be Hard to See. 'The Independent' reports that skywatchers looking to catch the Lyrid meteor shower may be foiled by the moon. . This year's peak activity occurs on April 21 and 22, with up to 20 meteors expected per hour. . Potential viewing should last through April 29. . However, the American Meteor Society warns that strong moonlight may interfere with viewing. . Every year, multiple meteor showers occur and don't require special equipment to see them. . For the most part, meteor showers originate from debris left behind by comets, like the Lyrids, which come from the comet Thatcher. . As these space rocks enter the Earth's atmosphere, air resistance makes them extremely hot, which causes the air around them to glow. This glow leaves a fiery trail behind the meteor, which can be observed from the ground as a "shooting star.". Look to the northeast and just keep staring at the same spot in the sky. It's always impressive when you see these things, Don Pollacco, University of Warwick astronomer, via 'The Independent'. The Lyrids are best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, while the upcoming Eta Aquarids meteor shower can best be seen from the Southern Hemisphere.

Astronomers Witness Merger of 2 Black Holes From the 'Cosmic Dawn' [Video]

Astronomers Witness Merger of 2 Black Holes From the 'Cosmic Dawn'

Astronomers Witness , Merger of 2 Black Holes, From the 'Cosmic Dawn'. 'The Independent' reports that NASA's Webb Space Telescope has made the most distant detection of merging black holes. . Two gigantic black holes and the galaxies that they stood at the center of merged together just 740 million years after the universe was formed in the Big Bang. One of the black holes is a staggering 50 million times larger than our Sun, and the other is believed to be a similar gigantic size. . Astronomers have long wondered how supermassive black holes are so big. . Lead author Hannah Ubler of the University of Cambridge says the findings suggest that mergers like this ancient example show how black holes are able to grow so rapidly. According to Ubler, the latest Webb discovery also suggests that black holes have been merging since the "cosmic dawn.". Massive black holes have been shaping the evolution of galaxies from the very beginning, Hannah Ubler, lead author from the University of Cambridge, via 'The Independent'. In 2021, NASA launched Webb, intended to replace the Hubble Space Telescope. Webb is the largest and most powerful observatory ever launched into space. . The joint U.S.-European project surveys the universe from a vantage point located about 1 million miles away from Earth.

Markers of a Good Sushi Restaurant [Video]

Markers of a Good Sushi Restaurant

Markers of a Good , Sushi Restaurant. HuffPost spoke with sushi chefs to find out what makes a good, and bad, sushi establishment. Sushi Rice. Expertly prepared sushi rice retains its delicate, fluffy texture. The seasoning is perfectly balanced with a touch of sweet, tart and brininess. It is served at about 37 degrees Celsius ― body temperature, Hidekazu Tojo, the chef at Tojo’s Restaurant in Vancouver, via HuffPost. Bad sushi rice would be "undercooked, too sweet, too salty or too dry.". Seafood Quality. If the server or chef highlights seasonal sushi in addition to the menu, that is a good sign for the sushi program, Masaharu Morimoto, who owns Japanese restaurants around the world, via HuffPost. Warning signs for poor fish quality are things like discoloration, browning and a lack of firmness, Elijah Lehrer, sushi chef and vice president of culinary at Bamboo Sushi, via HuffPost. Chef Skill. Skillful sushi chefs can also indicate a good sushi restaurant. Fresh grating wasabi for some sushi courses is a good sign here. Describing each piece of fish in its Japanese and English name shows the attention to detail there, too, Masaharu Morimoto, who owns Japanese restaurants around the world, via HuffPost. “Poorly made sushi shows a lack of passion and good training,” Morimoto said. . Price. Good quality seafood comes at a cost, and unfortunately, costs continue to rise. Offering sushi at very low prices suggests that the restaurant may not be sourcing high-quality ingredients, Hidekazu Tojo, the chef at Tojo’s Restaurant in Vancouver, via HuffPost. The experts say cleanliness and hospitality are also things to consider, just as you likely would with other food establishments
