The time change for the winter of 2024-2025 is approaching, marking the end of daylight saving time.

On Sunday, October 27, 2024, clocks will be turned back one hour, from 4:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., giving us an extra hour of sleep. This change follows the European Union directive on daylight saving time.

Scientists said on Jan. 16 they have used a laser beam to guide lightning for the first time, hoping the technique will help protect against deadly bolts and one day maybe even trigger them.

Lightning strikes between 40-120 times a second worldwide, killing more than 4,000 people and causing billions of dollars worth of damage every year.
