Will You Be Able To See It? Mile-Wide Asteroid With Its Own Moon Set To Do A Flyby This Weekend
Prepare yourselves, astronomy fans: a mile-wide “double asteroid” is approaching Earth and may be visible on Saturday night, May 25, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.

National Weather Service's Winter Outlook Cites El Niño Factor: Here's What It Means For Us
We've heard from two farmers almanacs and AccuWeather. When it comes to predictions for the upcoming winter, the National Weather Service is now batting cleanup.

El Niño is a large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate interaction linked to a periodic warming in sea surface temperatures across the central and east-central Equatorial Pacific. What does that mean for us? “We expect El Nino to be in place in lat…
