Forecasts for Bavaria suggest sun first, then rain, with friendlier conditions expected as the Oktoberfest Wiesn celebrations wrap up.
- 2Trump-appointed immigration judges granting near-zero asylum in Chicago●Trump's immigration judges (who work for the executive branch) aren't granting asylum in Chicago immigration courts now,
Immigration judges in Chicago, who serve in the executive branch under the Justice Department, are now almost never granting asylum, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The report describes asylum as nearly impossible to obtain in the city's immigration courts, reflecting the impact of the Trump administration's appointments and policies on the court system. Observers are pointing to the shift as evidence of how political control of immigration courts can sharply curtail asylum access.

A traveller spent a morning in what they believed was protective shade on a beach on Gili Meno, a small island near Lombok in Indonesia, only to discover the cover offered no sun protection at all.

A new report claims the first solid bodies in our solar system formed through fiery, high-temperature processes near the Sun rather than from icy material in colder outer regions. The finding suggests that rock and metal condensed before ices, reshaping ideas about how the earliest planetesimals emerged and how the solar system's architecture took shape.

- 7Slow Earthquakes May Be Triggered by Sun and Moon Tides●Slow Earthquakes Sometimes Come Before Big Ones. The Sun and Moon May Be Setting Them Off Tidal stresses are comparable
New research suggests slow earthquakes — gradual fault movements that can precede major quakes — may be set off by tidal stresses from the Sun and Moon. The forces are described as comparable to a slight push from a hand, but when timed with a fault already near failure, they can be enough to get it moving. The findings could improve understanding of when slow slip events might escalate into destructive earthquakes.
