Unusual warming events in Antarctica have disrupted the typical formation of the ozone hole, delaying its appearance this year. These warming events, which are rare but increasingly observed, weakened the polar vortex, a swirling wind pattern essential for ozone hole development. While ozone depletion is expected to continue, these events highlight the complex and changing nature of the atmosphere and the need for continued monitoring.

Sceye, an aerospace company specializing in High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS), has achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing a full diurnal flight in the stratosphere. This achievement marks a crucial step towards enabling long-duration flights of months or years, providing a unique vantage point for climate change monitoring, disaster detection, and connectivity solutions.
