American Airlines will no longer award miles or status points to basic economy fares

Members of American Airlines' loyalty program will no longer earn miles or other travel rewards when purchasing a basic economy ticket.
People enrolled in the carrier's AAdvantage program previously earned two miles and loyalty points for each dollar they spent on a regular fare. Now they will only earn points if they buy a more expensive ticket.
The new policy, which American Airlines announced on Thursday, is effective as of December 17.

There are plenty of annual recap lists circulating around this time of year, but few of them involve the amount of work put in by California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Over the past year, researchers guided remotely operated vehicles more than 3,000 feet down to survey the vast biodiversity within some of the oceans’ deepest and darkest regions. The data and footage collected during these trips will help experts fill in the gaps towards understanding the planet’s hardest-to-reach ecosystems.
To celebrate the past 12 months of discoveries, MBARI released a video highli

Arthur Hayes just laid out his Bitcoin roadmap for the next three months — and it ends at $200,000.
The angel investor and Maelstrom fund CIO published a new essay on Friday, arguing that the Federal Reserve is printing money through a new programme, dubbed Reserve Management Purchases.
And once investors realise its effects resemble those of quantitative easing, Bitcoin will explode higher.
“As the market equates RMP to QE, Bitcoin will quickly retake $124,000 and punch quickly towards $200,000,” Hayes wrote.
His timeline is auspicious — Bitcoin should rally hard in the first three months

Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Comet 3I/ATLAS passed its nearest point to Earth early Friday and approaching within 168 million miles.
After its brief visit Friday the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will head back toward the outer solar system before continuing its journey through the Milky Way, according to scientists.
3I/ATLAS was only the third known interstellar object to enter our solar system, following 'Oumuamua in 2017 and Borisov in 2019.
Its arrival gave scientists a rare chance to study the building blocks of distant comets and planets.
NASA first detected the object in July, tracing its path b

Chestnut farmers are struggling to produce robust crop yields due to the effects of Earth's warming.
According to Ekathimerini, summer droughts across villages near Mount Pelion in Greece have disrupted chestnut production.
Giorgos Nanos, a professor at the Arboriculture Laboratory of the University of Thessaly's School of Agricultural Sciences, said, "This year is one of the worst for chestnut producers in Pelion," per the publication.
In 2024, Reuters reported that chestnut production in Greece dropped by 90%. It seems the situation has not improved since then. Many people in the area dep

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.

NEW YORK (PIX11) — A JetBlue flight from Cancun to Newark suddenly dropped mid-air and injured 15 passengers, a frightening episode that forced an unexpected emergency landing in Tampa.
For weeks, investigators believed the Airbus A320’s violent plunge was caused by a software malfunction. But now, some experts are pointing to something far more unusual: the possibility that a cosmic flare disrupted the aircraft’s systems.

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

The origins of complex, nucleated cellular life – everything from amoebas to humans – may date back a lot further in Earth's history than we thought.
A new study tracing the earliest steps toward complex life suggests that this transformation from simpler ancestors began almost 3 billion years ago – long before our planet had the oxygen levels needed to support a thriving eukaryotic biosphere.
That's almost a billion years earlier than some estimates place the rise of complex cells, pointing to a surprisingly long, drawn-out evolutionary buildup rather than a rapid leap in complexity.

In recent remarks at the “Revitalizing America’s Markets” event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins laid out a plan that would fundamentally redefine what it means to be a public company in the United States. He framed it as a plan to “make IPOs great again,” but beneath the rhetoric lies something far more consequential: a shift toward a marketplace where public companies behave like private ones — shielded from disclosure, insulated from shareholder input, and increasingly detached from the long-term health of the broader economy. In essence, it is a move toward absolute control by CEOs and their boards
