- 1DIY Solar Power Setup Promises Apocalypse-Ready Energy in an Hour●Dead Simple Apocalypse Power: Build It in an Hour
Will Prowse, a popular DIY solar power creator, has released a guide showing how to build a simple off-grid solar power system in about an hour, designed to keep essential devices running if the grid goes down. The project has drawn massive attention online, with over a million likes, as interest in emergency preparedness and home solar continues to grow.
- 2Astronomers spot possible dwarf planet beyond Pluto▼Dwarf planet candidate appears which takes roughly 280 years to orbit our sun
Astronomers have identified a mysterious object orbiting far beyond Pluto that could qualify as a new dwarf planet in our solar system. The body takes roughly 280 years to complete one orbit around the sun, placing it in the distant outer solar system. The find adds to the growing list of candidate dwarf planets being examined beyond Neptune, and is drawing wide interest for what it may reveal about the solar system's outer reaches.

Plug-in solar panels—balcony-sized units that feed household outlets—have been made legal, and solar reviewer Will Prowse says he has tested the new setups himself. The change lets renters and homeowners add small renewable capacity without permits or electricians. Enthusiasts are sharing the results, discussing how much power the panels produce and what the rule change means for cheaper home energy.

President Trump has suggested that a permitting arrangement offered to solar and wind energy projects could be withdrawn, raising uncertainty for renewable energy developers in the United States. The comments signal a potentially harder stance toward renewables, and industry observers are watching to see whether formal policy changes will follow the threat.
- 8US Ends Solar Tariff Loopholes in Push for Domestic Industry●US Ends Solar Tariff Dodges, But Building Own Sector Is Tough
The United States has closed loopholes that allowed solar companies to bypass tariffs on imported panels, tightening trade rules on solar equipment from abroad. The move aims to protect and grow domestic solar manufacturing, but analysts and industry observers note that building a self-sufficient US solar sector remains difficult, given reliance on foreign supply chains, higher production costs and questions over whether homegrown factories can meet demand.
- 9Why it's impossible to go above and below the Solar System●Why it’s impossible to go above and below the Solar System
A popular science explainer examines why spacecraft cannot simply travel 'up' or 'down' out of the Solar System's plane, walking through the Sun's gravity well, orbital mechanics, and the vast distances involved in escaping in any direction. The piece is drawing large audiences with its accessible take on a question many readers never think to ask about how the Solar System actually moves through space.
