The 11:00 report · 7.10.2026
The past few hours are marked by military escalation in Ukraine alongside the commemoration in Israel of three years since the October 7 attacks.

Remnants of a Historic Supernova and Tropical Storms Tracked from Orbit
NASA released a new observation showcasing the Pa 30 nebula, captured by the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii. According to the agency, the nebula constitutes the remnant of a type Iax supernova observed in 1181 and recorded for 185 days, likely caused by the merger of two white dwarfs. The central star generates powerful winds and filaments containing clusters spanning four light-days across. Concurrently, NASA's EONET monitoring system is tracking three severe tropical storms globally: Hurricane Nolo, registering winds of 80 knots; Super Typhoon Choi-wan, reaching 75 knots; and Hurricane Rachel, with sustained speeds of 70 knots. These observations provide scientists and forecasters with critical data for deciphering cosmic processes while monitoring hazardous weather phenomena in real time.

Moscow confirmed it launched extensive strikes against targets across Ukraine. The bombardment came mere hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned in an overnight address of an imminent Russian attack based on intelligence data, urging allies to bolster military aid. These strikes demonstrate Russia's ability to deliver swift and concentrated strikes into the heart of the capital, underscoring the ongoing vulnerability of the Ukrainian home front and the urgent need for air defense support.
