A watch for a predicted G2 geomagnetic storm was cancelled on September 9, 2026. The notice says predicted conditions for September 8–10 were below G1 and no longer warranted watch criteria.
The PISA 2025 report, released Tuesday, found that all 13 Latin American countries assessed scored below OECD averages in reading, mathematics and science. The edition was marked by broad declines and by Argentina recording its worst performance since it began taking part in the test (title states since 2006).
NASA announced on 2026-09-08 that it is seeking proposals to advance technology and infrastructure needed to explore the Moon and establish a Moon Base in the lunar South Pole region. The solicitation targets capability gaps including power generation, oxygen extraction, and producing materials on the Moon required for construction and operations.
