Now visible at dusk, don’t miss the opportunity to spot Comet ATLAS.

Beneath the volcanic peaks of Oregon’s Cascade Range, researchers have uncovered an extraordinary underground water reservoir. Believed to rival some of the largest known aquifers, this natural wonder, holding over three times the capacity of Lake Mead, may reshape our understanding of groundwater systems worldwide. Could this hidden vault in Oregon’s mountains claim the title of the world’s largest volcanic aquifer? The implications for water management and geological research are immense, but the full extent of this discovery is just beginning to unfold.

An enormous water reservoir — likely the largest aquifer of its kind in on Earth — sits inside the volcanic rocks of the Oregon Cascades, scientists have revealed.

After more than a decade in space, the European Gaia spacecraft will end its observations this week. Astronomers are still busy preparing final data blasts.
