Economists cast doubt on inflation report: 'Hard to take this data seriously'

How much is inflation really cooling?
Thursday’s release of November’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed inflation unexpectedly eased to an annual rise of 2.7% that month. But monthly comparisons — October data was never collected due to the government shutdown — were absent from the Labor Department’s report, leaving more recent price swings a bit of a mystery for dozens of product categories.
Economists treaded lightly following the report.

Numerous stories have been written about the growing swarm of Starlink satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) over the past few years, as astronomers grow increasingly worried about the crafts’ impact on their observation equipment. Launched by Elon Musk’s ******* eX, each satellite has the potential to disrupt astronomy through both radio emissions and light pollution — and as the number of satellites grows, so too does the amount of interference.
Now, a new study by researchers at NASA is warning that obstructions caused by ******* eX and other private satellite companies are becoming so sever

Maggots may be the key to more accurately determining when people died, according to Florida researchers, pointing to the genetic makeup of larvae.
The findings build on previous methods that investigators have used to determine when people died. Currently, investigators rely on the outer appearance of maggots and the presence of eggs on decomposing bodies to estimate people's death dates.
However, researchers at Miami’s Florida International University (FIU) have found that by observing maggots’ genes and metabolic changes, investigators can better estimate when people died.

NASA warns satellite boom could ruin 96% of telescope images

A new NASA-led study shows that the increasing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit could ruin up to 96% of images from some orbiting telescopes and **** e observatories.
“The urgency starts in the moment we’re seeing a very rapid increase in the number of satellite constellations, in particular, not the satellites that have been launched, but in the satellites that are being proposed,” Dr. Alejandro Serrano Borlaff, research scientist at NASA Ames Research Center and co-author of the study, told ABC News. “Before these satell

Artificial intelligence companies are quickly expanding without the protections experts say are needed.
According to NBC News, the Winter 2025 AI Safety Index reviewed eight companies across 35 indicators and found that these companies are rolling out increasingly powerful systems while leaving gaps in oversight.
The index evaluated areas such as risk-assessment procedures, information sharing processes, governance structures, and safety-research support and documented inconsistent or absent protocols and protections across the industry. The organizations scoring lowest are racing to match o

A rare technical signal that preceded Bitcoin’s explosive rally in late 2023 has reappeared, with the Bollinger Bandwidth indicator dipping below 100 and flashing a green alert that could reshape Bitcoin price prediction for the remainder of December.
Macro strategist Gert van Lagen observed that every previous trigger of this indicator has been followed by a direct parabolic leg upward, raising expectations of a potential 40% surge before year-end.
Van Lagen noted the current setup mirrors Google’s parabolic run before its final blow-off wave ahead of the 2008 financial crisis, characterize

Operated by NSF’s NOIRLab and located atop Cerro Pachón, the 8.1-meter Gemini South telescope captured a breathtaking new image of the glowing, wing-shaped planetary nebula as part of the “Gemini First Light Anniversary Image Contest.”
The contest invited students from the observatory’s host communities in Chile and Hawaii to choose an object that honors the observato

We learn more and more about our universe all the time, but there’s recently been a huge spike in stunning cosmic observations. An increase in funding, dramatic advancements in telescopes, AI, image-processing algorithms, and data ******* ysis has unleashed a flood of great new discoveries in 2025.
As fact-finders, it’s nice to know that a universe as big as ours keeps the new facts rolling in.

Few things in the universe are as perplexing as dark matter — the invisible and exotic “stuff” that is thought to make up most of the matter in galaxies.
The theory goes like this: To reconcile our current understanding of physics with what we observe in the cosmos, there must be massive amounts of matter that we can’t see. Scientists are sure that this “missing matter” exists because of the gravitational effects it exerts, but detecting it firsthand has eluded scientists, who have had to indirectly infer how dark matter occupies the universe.
Nearly a century after dark matter was first the

Bitcoin is attempting to regain upward momentum after recent declines, but the crypto king’s recovery is being met with caution.
While sentiment has softened, the current structure suggests consolidation rather than a major bearish reversal.
One of the clearest signals of cooling momentum is the sharp decline in Realized Cap Change, which has fallen to 1.4%. This marks a 28.1% drop and places the metric below its lower band. The shift reflects softer net inflows and lighter demand across the market. These conditions are consistent with consolidation phases, where investors prefer to observe

Researchers have observed an increase in the number of whale entanglements in Australian waters. Fishing gear and shark nets can injure and trap marine life, which can contribute to slow, torturous deaths.
Over a period of just a few months as of October, Griffith University researcher Olaf Meynecke and his team in South East Queensland documented 48 entanglements of humpback whales off the Australian coast. As Meynecke wrote at The Conversation, that's more than his team recorded throughout all of last year.
The researcher went on to explain that while humpback whales have made a strong com

The 'S&P 493' reveals a very different U.S. economy

On its face, 2025 has been a good year for the stock market. The S&P 500 was dragged out of its tariff-induced springtime slump by a small subset of AI-forward power players whose spectacular gains defied an otherwise softening economy. Even now, despite a rocky November, the benchmark index is up more than 12 percent since the start of the year.
A group of trillion-dollar brands known as the “Magnificent Seven” - Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla - has been at the forefront of those gains, thanks in large part to

The latest images of an interstellar comet shared by NASA have captured how an array of ****** ecraft witnessed a flyby that was truly out of this world, revealing clues to the object’s composition.
Astronomers first detected the rare comet, known as 3I/ATLAS, on July 1. It’s only the third observed interstellar object, or ISO, to originate outside of our solar system and pass through it.
When the interstellar comet flew by the red planet in October, multiple NASA missions pivoted from their explorations to capture tantalizing images of the object that originated outside of our solar system.

NASA is getting ready for a 3I/ATLAS photo dump.
The U.S. ***** e agency has announced plans to release additional images of the famed interstellar comet that was first spotted in July trespassing in Earth's solar system. The impending reveal would mark the first time NASA has unveiled high-resolution images of 3I/ATLAS since its fleet of ***** e telescopes began observing the comet more than three months ago.
The Hubble ***** e Telescope, for instance, snapped a high-res image of the comet at the end of July that NASA billed as "the sharpest-ever picture" of 3I/ATLAS. Because it's incredib

We are made of star-stuff. Few scientific ideas have had as much cultural staying power as this one, which Carl Sagan popularized in his 1980 TV series Cosmos. The phrase has become almost like secular scripture, quoted in hundreds if not thousands of books, splashed across T-shirts and totes, inked onto skin, and repeated at weddings.
Sagan intended the phrase to be understood in a very literal sense. According to modern astrophysicists, the nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, and the iron in our blood, were all forged in the interiors of collapsing stars, and subsequently circula

Tiny iron oxide grains found in lunar soil samples brought by the Chinese Chang’e-6 mission upend what was known about the Moon’s surface and magnetic properties, scientists revealed in a new study.
Until now, the Moon has been thought to have an environment that did not favour the oxidation of elements, and iron oxides were thought to be virtually absent.
Consistent with this, iron on the Moon has been found mostly in its reduced forms, without any added oxygen.
Recent exploration missions have hinted at the widespread presence of the magnetic iron-oxide mineral hematite in the Moon's high

When Nigel Morris tells you he’s worried about the economy, you listen. As industry observers know, Morris co-founded Capital One and pioneered lending to subprime borrowers, building an empire on understanding exactly how much financial stress the average American can handle. Now, as an early investor in Klarna and other buy-now-pay-later companies like Aplazo in Mexico, he’s watching something that makes him deeply uncomfortable.
