Hurricanes pick up speedIn almost every region of the world where hurricanes form, their maximum sustained winds are getting stronger. A warming planet may be fuelling the increase, speculates the paper that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A study published in Nature Climate Change shows that daily emissions decreased by 17 per cent globally, dropping to levels last observed in 2006. The X factorIn a galaxy 800 million light years from Earth, the jets of energy squeezed outward by a black hole are shaped like an X. It seems the superhot gas being pumped up 2.5 million light years cascades back and splashes sideways off the centre of the galaxy, sculpting an X.
