The Japanese Meteorological Agency has said that the heaviest rainfall in a day was recorded on 12 October 2019 when it rained 922.5mm. The heavy downpour has affected normal life as roads in many parts have collapsed and electricity transmission lines have snapped and damaged badly. Authorities have asked the people to evacuate as more rains are apprehended. Japanese Meteorological Agency official Satoshi Sugimoto told journalists that he believed it was the «heaviest ever experienced» rain in the region. Government spokesman Hirokazu Matsuno told the AFP that three people have been killed in the flooding and the number may go up. Besides, three others are missing in the remotely placed areas. The local authorities have said that an old woman died after getting trapped in a house in Soeda, Fukuoka province. Her husband somehow survived.

There was good reason to avoid products with the artificial sweetener aspartame even before the World Health Organization classified it as a “possible carcinogen." Now diet soda drinkers might want to quit their cans. But first, some perspective: “Possible carcinogen" is the weakest of three bins into which WHO classifies anything that’s even remotely tied to cancer in any kind of study. It labels substances with more serious links to cancer as “probable carcinogens" and if the evidence is really strong, “carcinogenic to humans." That middle category includes things that many of us consume routinely, including alcoholic beverages and very hot drinks (linked to oesophageal cancer).

most reflective planet ever observed outside of our Solar System, astronomers said on Monday. This strange world, which is more than 260 light-years from Earth, reflects 80 per cent of the light from its host star, according to new observations from Europe's exoplanet-probing Cheops space telescope. That makes it the first exoplanet comparably shiny as Venus, which is the brightest object in our night sky other than the Moon. First discovered in 2020, the Neptune-sized planet called LTT9779b orbits its star in just 19 hours. Because it is so close, the side of the planet facing its star is a sizzling 2,000 degrees Celsius, which is considered far too hot for clouds to form. Yet LTT9779b seems to have them. «It was really a puzzle,» said Vivien Parmentier, a researcher at France's Cote d'Azur Observatory and co-author of a new study in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The researchers then «realised we should think about this cloud formation in the same way as condensation forming in a bathroom after a hot shower,» he said in a statement. Like running hot water steams up a bathroom, a scorching stream of metal and silicate — the stuff of which glass is made — oversaturated LTT9779b's atmosphere until metallic clouds formed, he said.
