Jared Timmer of Sacramento Republic greets fans at Heart Health Park on May 21, 2024 in Sacramento, Calif.Getty Images There were two pieces of major stadium news made in the USL Championship last week, and both of them are critical for the league operator’s future.

Not resuming after coming to a halt happened 71 times, each of which required the driver to act. On 57 occasions, the lane keeping or adaptive…

A giant solar tornado and a massive plasma eruption were just raging on the surface of the sun at the same time — and a researcher has captured both in one spectacular image.Although the solar events are unrelated, both are the result of disturbances in the sun’s invisible magnetic field, with some plasma forced into a tornado shape and some plasma released in a towering eruption known as an eruptive prominence.Maximilian Teodorescu, a researcher at the Institute of Space Science in Romania, captured both events happening simultaneously Wednesday (Aug. 20). He told Live Science that a large solar tornado is…

The demo of All Will Rise begins with a win for lawyer Kuyili. She has just successfully argued in front of a court that a river running through the fictional version of the Indian city of Muziris should have the same rights as a person.
