Scientists are warning that a powerful “Super El Nino” may be developing in the Pacific Ocean, with rising sea surface temperatures signaling a major global climate shift. Experts say the unusual warming, combined with a possible cold ocean anomaly known as a “cold blob,” could intensify extreme weather events worldwide. From heatwaves to floods and droughts, the developing pattern may significantly disrupt global climate systems in the coming months.

The volcano in the Bismarck Sea could lead to the formation of a new island, scientists say. It has been erupting for weeks now, sending plumes 10,000 feet above the ocean surface. Experts are curious to see the island taking shape in real time.

The annular solar eclipse will be visible on Wednesday (Oct 2). During this astronomical phenomenon, the moon will pass over the sun creating a “ring of fire”. This year’s eclipse will be visible for a much longer duration of 7 minutes and 25 seconds and will cover 93% of the sun, according to Space.

Scientists have come up with a new and innovative plan to tackle climate change, which is filling the giant Pacific Ocean with iron. This technique is known as ocean iron fertilisation (OIF) and in this process powdered form of iron is filled on the surface of the sea to stimulate the growth of a marine plant 'phytoplankton'.
