“24.27 N, 81.44 W. These coordinates mark the spot of the final resting place of an old brave soldier, the USS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg. In 2009 it underwent a complete change when the creaky steel monster became a mystical bearer of secrets. In May of that year, the Vandenberg was lowered down into the darkness of the ocean off the coast of Florida to become an artificial reef, where it would dwell in rigor mortis at a depth of 130 feet.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has provided scientists the first close-up, visible-light views of a behemoth hurricane swirling around Saturn's north pole. In high-resolution pictures and video, scientists see the hurricane's eye is about 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide, 20 times larger than the average hurricane eye on Earth. Thin, bright clouds at the outer edge of the hurricane are traveling 330 mph(150 meters per second). The hurricane swirls inside a large, mysterious, six-sided weather pattern known as the hexagon.

Aerial view huge cliff rockfall at East Cliff at West Bay in Dorset, UK which happened overnight and has blocked the beach below on December 30, 2024. Golfers can be seen playing on the 15th green at Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club which is next to the latest landslip. The cliff has had frequent rockfalls in the past year which forced Dorset Council at the beginning of 2024 to close the South West Coast Path which runs along the top of the cliff due to safety concerns.
