Floating island found, lost, and found again in British Columbia
A floating island made of trees and plants—about 230 by 460 feet—showed up, vanished, and then resurfaced on Williston Lake, a big reservoir in British Columbia. A local’s video kicked off the search after the island disappeared for weeks. BC Hydro confirmed it’s real, not AI or a hoax. Boaters are warned to steer clear: it’s large but unstable and hazardous.
- Island is over 200 by 400 feet in size
- Spotted, lost, and found by boats and satellites
- Formed from driftwood and plants on the shore
- High water and wind likely set it loose
- No risk to dam or boats, say officials

Scientists publish full brain map for male fruit fly
Scientists have published the first complete map of all 166,000-plus nervous system cells in an adult male fruit fly, detailing every connection in the brain and nerve cord. The decade-long project was a collaboration between Google Research, HHMI Janelia, and other researchers, and follows the earlier complete map of a female fruit fly brain. AI powered much of the analysis, stitching together data from millions of images.
German firm launches Europe's first commercial orbital rocket
Isar Aerospace, a German company, has become the first in Europe to launch a fully commercial rocket into orbit. The two-stage Spectrum rocket reached low-Earth orbit on Saturday after lifting off from Norway's Andøya Spaceport. No European private company had previously accomplished this. Company leaders called it a new chapter for European spaceflight and said they aim to expand production to fulfill existing orders.
Google analyzes limits of genetic disease tests for non-Europeans
Google researchers looked at how well genetic risk models—used to forecast disease risk—work for Japanese populations when originally based on European genetic data. They ran experiments mixing UK Biobank (mostly European) and Biobank Japan samples to predict eight health traits. The study found that models built mostly on European data performed worse in Japanese individuals. Larger ancestry-specific data helped, but didn’t fully close the gap.
