Climate change associated with global warming can have a significant impact on astronomical observations, a new study has found. These findings could not only help astronomers improvise their observations according to varying environmental settings, but also play a significant role while designing new telescopes, such as the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) that is being built …
The already parched West is getting drier and suffering deadly wildfires because of it, while the much wetter East keeps getting drenched in mega-rainfall events, some hurricane related and others not.
