We tend to picture glaciers as slow rivers of frozen water, but Antarctica’s Byrd Glacier is draining an area larger than California through a gap in the Transantarctic Mountains at a rate of up to 800 meters per year, pulling out enough ice to measurably raise global sea levels if it were fully released.
Byrd Glacier is located on the edge of the East Antarctica ice sheet and is moving. fast. Radar and satellite…

The Amazon River in Peru has a river hot enough to boil small animals that fall into it. The temperature reaches 86 degrees Celsius over a 6-kilometre stretch without a volcano anywhere nearby. Geologists believe it is heated by water circulating several kilometers deep through faults in the rock.
Along Peru’s six-kilometre-long Amazon River runs a river so hot that a frog that falls into the cooker is cooked…

The Starship’s 33 engines pump out 74,400 kilonewtons of force on liftoff, nearly twice as powerful as the Saturn V engine that sent humans to the moon. However, the entire vehicle is designed so that it can be caught like a dropped pencil and then flown again the next day.
At the moment of liftoff, the SpaceX spacecraft is propelled away from the launch pad with a thrust force of…
