- 7Hacker News·8/15/2026researchSatellite images show Europe's landscapes after summer heatwaves
Satellite imagery shows the effects of repeated summer heatwaves across western Europe, including shrinking glaciers, lower river levels, and large burned areas from wildfires. The BBC report says Copernicus has confirmed western Europe recorded its hottest June-to-July period on record, with climate change making such extremes more likely and intense.

OlmoEarth Studio now supports computing and exporting embedding vectors for Earth-observation data using its open source foundation models. The exported Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs can be configured by area, time range, encoder variant, resolution, and imagery source, enabling tasks such as similarity search, segmentation, and unsupervised analysis.
- 8Hacker News·7/17/2026researchFirst atmosphere detected on a rocky planet in a habitable zone
Researchers say they have found the first atmosphere around an Earth-like rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of a distant star. The planet, LHS 1140 b, appears to have helium in its atmosphere, and while that gas alone would not support life, the finding is considered an important step in the search for potentially habitable worlds.
