Science News: Climate Change Impacts and Space Explorations

Scientists report that climate change is altering global rainfall patterns and intensifying typhoons. Recently, the fiercest typhoon affected Taiwan, the Philippines, and China. Meanwhile, SpaceX and NASA plan to launch the Crew-9 mission to the ISS next month, following FAA approval for Falcon 9's return to space.

Scientists have identified shifting rainfall patterns and intensifying typhoons as critical impacts of climate change, according to a recent study. This year witnessed the most powerful typhoon so far, impacting Taiwan, the Philippines, and China, causing widespread disruptions and evacuations.

In other news, SpaceX and NASA announced plans to launch the Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station on August 18. This follows the Federal Aviation Administration's clearance for SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to resume flights, after a mid-flight failure resulted in a temporary grounding earlier this month.
