Top Science News: Climate Change and SpaceX's Next Mission

Recent science briefs highlight climate change's impact on global rainfall patterns and the intensification of typhoons. Taiwan, the Philippines, and China experienced the year's most powerful typhoon, causing widespread shutdowns and evacuations. Additionally, SpaceX and NASA announced the planned launch of the Crew-9 mission to the ISS next month.

Recent scientific findings reveal that climate change is altering global rainfall patterns and intensifying typhoons. The world's most powerful typhoon of the year hit Taiwan, the Philippines, and China, leading to widespread disruptions as wind speeds reached up to 227 kph (141 mph). Preparations saw hundreds of thousands evacuated from China's eastern coast.

Meanwhile, SpaceX and NASA have slated the launch of the Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) no earlier than August 18. This update follows the Federal Aviation Administration's clearance of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which had been grounded due to a mid-flight failure earlier this month.
