The 171-foot-tall (52 meters) spacecraft exploded over the Atlantic Ocean near the Turks and Caicos islands around 8.5 minutes after launch, creating a spectacular sky show witnessed by many people in the area. And a fair few of these folks posted their photos and videos on X, the social media site owned by SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk.

Scientists have revealed that a crucial system of Atlantic Ocean currents could collapse by the 2030s, dramatically altering Europe's weather.

SpaceX conducted the seventh flight test of its Starship launch vehicle on Thursday. The company called it “the most capable” Starship yet—and the only fully reusable one, according to ABC.

Brazilian Olympian Bruno Lobo rescued a drowning woman and gave all the credit to God for putting him in position to perform the heroic deed.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has not slowed down since the mid-20th century based on the North Atlantic air-sea heat fluxes over that time. This finding contrasts with studies that have estimated a decline in the AMOC,

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is vital in regulating the temperature of the earth. Scientists measure it using scientific instruments deployed in different latitudes across the north and south Atlantic Ocean.

A proposal to lower speed limits on waterways — boat strikes kill a large number of the whales — was dropped in face of next administration.

The much-anticipated ferry slated for service between Wood Islands, P.E.I., and Caribou, N.S., is crossing the Atlantic Ocean on its way to the Maritimes, Transport Canada says.

Earth, being 71% covered in water, is influenced by the ocean and its movements. In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), moves water throughout the world's oceans powered by a combination of winds and ocean density.
