In 1980, a Texaco crew drilling over Louisiana’s Lake Peigneur missed their mapped position by about 400 feet and punched into a working salt mine below, and within hours the entire lake had drained into the hole, swallowing 11 barges and briefly reversing a canal that ran to the Gulf
Lake Peigneur, in the Cajun country of southern Louisiana, was a modest body of water with an unusual…
A molecular-hydrogen cloud only 300 light-years away spans roughly 40 full-Moon widths across our sky, yet astronomers did not identify it until 2025. Named Eos, it escaped conventional surveys because they search for molecular hydrogen indirectly through carbon monoxide—and almost all of Eos is CO-dark.
One of the nearest molecular clouds to the Sun hid across a patch of sky about 20 degrees…
