Ever seen a river flow backwards? In Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, the Bay of Fundyโ€™s tides are so powerful, they reverse the river. Itโ€™s called a tidal boreโ€”and itโ€™s wild science in motion.

The Sun disappeared in broad daylight. Fredericton, New Brunswick fell under the shadow of a total eclipse on April 8, 2024. For a moment, day turned to dusk.

Most people never see the Arctic Ocean. From 35,000 feet, it looks eternal. But this ice is vanishingโ€”quietly, steadily. Science travel lets us witness whatโ€™s changing, and why it matters.
