How stable are planetary systems? Will Earth and its seven siblings always continue in their steady celestial paths, or might we one day be randomly ejected from our cosmic home? Physicists understand the rules that govern the orbits of two celestial bodies, but as soon as a third is added (let alone a fourth, fifth, or hundredth) the dynamics become far more complex. Unpredictable instabilities arise, in which an object may be randomly ejected into space or fall into its host star. The so-called "three-body problem" has…

As Timothée Chalamet‘s Wonka promo took over everyone’s news feeds in December, so did Jagwar Twin‘s song “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” on TikTok. On Friday, the rock star revisited the single, as he released the circus-themed music video for the viral track, which sees the artist inside a Salvador Dalí-inspired circus world as he conveys his message of “trusting your internal compass.” “The video plays on the theme of trusting your intuition with it being set in this strange Dalí-esque circus that, to me, is…

Key milestones for creating a planetary-scale Digital Twin Earth. Credit: Brocca L et al/Frontiers The water cycle looks simple in theory—but human impacts, climate change, and complicated geography mean that in practice, floods and droughts remain hard to predict. To model water on Earth, you need incredibly high-resolution data across an immense expanse, and you need modeling sophisticated enough to account for everything…
