This week at Yale Environment 360, our contributing writer Fred Pearce reports on an audacious proposal to save Antarctica’s imperiled Thwaites Glacier, sometimes called the Doomsday Glacier. Relatively warm ocean currents are weakening the base of the glacier, whose demise could raise sea levels by as much as 7 feet. To protect the ice from those warmer waters, some scientists are studying a plan to build an enormous undersea curtain, which would stretch 50 miles along the coast and extend 2,000 feet up from the seafloor. Says one expert, "We have to be prepared.”⁠ Read the article.

Night sky for tonight: Visible planets, stars and more
(Chris Vaughan/Starry Night)
On Friday morning, Aug. 30, early risers can see the waning crescent moon forming a line below Gemini's two brightest stars in the eastern sky. Pollux, the lower star is brighter and more yellowish in color than its "twin", the double star Castor, above it. Even as the sky begins to brighten ahead of sunrise, the bright stars of winter will sparkle off to the right of Gemini and the moon.
