Space Weather & Aurora: NOAA says a G1 geomagnetic storm could light up the northern sky Saturday night into Sunday, with Alaska among the best bets—look after sunset or before sunrise. Marine Science: In Alaska’s murky waters, beluga whales appear to rely on purposeful calls to stay together and find food, a reminder that underwater noise can disrupt survival. Wildlife Health: Authorities are investigating carved initials on a gray whale carcass on Whidbey Island, while Washington reports a record number of gray whale deaths this year. Longevity Research: Scientists report a molecule/protein pathway that may help explain how bowhead whales can resist cancer for up to ~200 years—potentially pointing to new human therapies. Defense Tech Cost Shock: A new CBO estimate puts the “Golden Dome” missile shield at up to $1.2T over two decades, far above earlier promises. Alaska Education/Community: A bomb threat response at Crawfordsville High School ended with no findings, highlighting how fast evacuations and coordination can work.
