'Newsweek' reports that a new study has found that a Florida dolphin was discovered with a "highly pathogenic" form of bird flu. The case is the first cetacean ever recorded in North America with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). The case is the first cetacean ever recorded in North America with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). The study warns that a highly contagious bird flu "could be catastrophic" for cetacean species. In March of 2022, a dolphin was found "in distress" in a Dixie County canal and died shortly after the arrival of a rescue team. . A postmortem revealed that the dolphin suffered from a number of health problems, including leptomeninges disease and brain inflammation. We still don't know where the dolphin got the virus and more research needs to be done, Richard Webby, Director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals and Birds at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, via 'Newsweek'. After first being detected in North America in 2021, the virus has been spreading among birds and other mammals. After first being detected in North America in 2021, the virus has been spreading among birds and other mammals. According to researchers, harbor seals and grey seals in the area had died from the same virus. A small amount were also found to have neurological symptoms. So far, seals and sea lions have been the primary mammal species to be impacted by the disease. . 'Newsweek' reports that the recent study highlights the importance of learning more about the virus in order to potentially prevent it from spreading to further species.

NASA Reestablishes Connection With Distant Voyager 1 Space Probe

NASA Reestablishes , Connection With Distant , Voyager 1 Space Probe. The news comes after engineers at the agency worked for months attempting to fix the 46-year-old probe. In December, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said that the probe, now a staggering 15 billion miles away from Earth, was transmitting gibberish code. . On April 23, the JPL announced that the team was once again receiving usable data from the spacecraft. Currently, the probe is only transmitting data regarding the status of the ship's engineering systems. The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again, JPL statement, via 'The Guardian'. 'The Guardian' reports that Voyager 1 has been in operation for nearly half a century after launching in 1977 with the goal of studying Jupiter and Saturn. In August of 2012, Voyager crossed into interstellar space, becoming the first human-made object to leave the solar system. The probe is currently traveling at a staggering 36,800 miles per hour through space. NASA plans to collect data from the two Voyager spacecraft for a few more years, but the space agency expects to lose contact with the probes within the next decade

NASA has unveiled striking images capturing the extensive flooding in the UAE following the recent torrential rainfall. Describing it as a "slow-moving storm," NASA highlighted the unprecedented deluge that inundated the Gulf states, surpassing a year's worth of rainfall in some regions. According to the UAE's meteorological department, the country received a staggering 6.04 billion cubic metres of rain last week, nearly equivalent to its annual precipitation of 6.7 billion cubic metres. This remarkable event underscores the magnitude of the weather phenomenon that swept across the region. #DubaiFloods #UAEFloods #NASAImages #FloodedUAE #RainInUAE #UAEWeather #FloodMonitoring #NASAData #UAEEnvironment #ClimateChange ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.123~HT.318~
