Tools for Skywatchers: Harvard & Smithsonian’s new “Cosmic Data Story” web app lets people preview the eclipse from their exact location, with an interactive map for the path of totality and a phone-friendly “in the field” view plus countdowns. Arctic Climate Policy: The U.S. ends support for NOAA’s Arctic Report Card, raising concerns about a monitoring gap even as previously contributed data remains public. Greenland Tech & Industry: Greenland Mines says drilling has started at its Skaergaard gold, palladium and platinum project, with rigs operating and LiDAR drone surveys already completed. Energy Grid Readiness: European transmission operators are preparing for a solar-driven drop in PV output during the eclipse, with coordinated measures planned to keep the grid stable. Space Tech (Defense): SciTec is part of a $423M Space Force push to digitize analog missile-warning radars, aiming to improve detection of smaller, faster threats.
