NASA scientist's chance Moon discovery reveals once-in-a-lifetime crater.
Wider and about as deep as the Roman Colosseum, researchers believe the newly-discovered McGetchin crater was formed after a powerful surface impact in 2024.

Tijjani Reijnders hat-trick as Netherlands hammer Greece
Germany cruised to a 3-1 win against Serbia in Belgrade on Friday, setting up a crunch encounter with the Netherlands in Berlin on Monday to decide who tops Group A2.
In teeming rain in an almost empty stadium, the Germans forced Serbia’s Srdan Babic into an early own goal with Florian Wirtz and debutant Brajan Gruda also scoring.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights that are due to take off in the US on Friday, delaying or canceling more than 11,000 US flights, according to aviation tracker FlightAware.
In a post on X, Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, said the stoppage is due to “a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers” and that the FAA’s technicians are looking into the matter.

Mozilla is shutting down Solo, its AI-powered website builder and hosting service, on November 30. A notice on the Soloist.ai homepage reads: "We've made the difficult decision to close Solo. We have appreciated all of your support building and growing this product, and the feedback we've received from all of you. Solo will cease operations on Nov 30, 2026." The Register reports: Mozilla launched Solo in December 2023 as a "Mozilla Innovation Project," aimed at helping sole traders to build themselves a webpage for their services. Some 54,000 people used its LLM to build pages, and relied on Mozilla to host them -- complete with custom domain names. Users now have just over two weeks left to find a new home for their pages, although Mozilla says it first notified them on October 1. According to the support FAQ, users can download a ZIP containing an HTML export, contact form and newsletter submissions, and a CSV linking to their images. The images themselves must be downloaded separately. Domains purchased through Solo Domains must also be moved to Name.com, with Mozilla handling the transfer after users create an account and supply its code.

The US Federal Aviation Administration on Friday issued an advisory that prevented the takeoff of flights in US airspace for around five hours, creating chaos for travelers and airports. The stop was finally lifted around 8:30 PM Eastern Time, but only after thousands of flights were canceled or delayed, leaving travelers stranded. The FAA has not yet confirmed a reason for the stop. Original story below: "The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers," said US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a statement. "FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them." A spokesperson at the FAA press office reached by phone said he was unable to provide further information. And an email response from the agency repeated Duffy's statement. The FAA ATCSCC advisory halts departing flights and says international flights will be dealt with individually. The notice says, "Due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety. Attention all aircraft operators, by order of the Federal Aviation Command Center all airports are ground stopped. All departing traffic should remain stopped until further notice. Inbound international flights will be managed on a case by case basis." Doug Yakel, public information officer for San Francisco International Airport, said, "FAA confirms nationwide ground stop, other reporting indicates a communications issue between Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs). Aircraft already enroute to SFO still landing here but departing aircraft not taking off right now." An update issued at 2:02 pm PT described the problem as "a temporary telecommunications outage." The FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) is managed by L3Harris. The network provides secure communication between more than 4,400 facilities. The grounding follows on the heels of a major Microsoft outage that has affected many Microsoft-hosted services, particularly email, for more than 24 hours so far. There's no indication presently that the two incidents are related. We'll update this story as more information becomes available.® Updated at 0211 Saturday UTC to reflect the lifting of the ground stop. Updated to add at 2353 UTC CBS News reports that “an update to the private communications network that connects America’s air traffic control system caused the system to reboot.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Xavi Hernández was na de monsterzege op Griekenland (7-0) niet eens het meest tevreden over de uitslag. "Het gaat mij niet om zeven doelpunten", zei hij in de perskamer van de Johan Cruijff ArenA. "Ik heb vooral genoten van de uitvoering. We hebben de ruimtes aangevallen en hoog druk gezet. Ik vond ons vooral in de eerste helft heel erg goed. Ik heb genoten."
Xavi zag zijn strijdplan goed uitpakken. Jurriën Timber was voortdurend de vrije man op links en Frenkie de Jong kreeg alle ruimte om het spel op te bouwen. "Jurriën doet het bij Arsenal uitstekend als rechtsback", zei Xavi over de verdediger die tweemaal scoorde. "Zo speelde hij nu voor ons op links. Dat deed hij heel goed. Frenkie deed precies wat we wilden. Ik heb hem uit voorzorg in de rust gewisseld. Alle spelers zijn fit voor de uitwedstrijd maandag tegen Duitsland."
WASHINGTON (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - Het communicatieprobleem bij de Amerikaanse luchtverkeersleiding, waardoor alle vliegtuigen in het land tijdelijk aan de grond worden gehouden, lijkt niet te komen door een cyberaanval. Dat meldt de FBI.
De overheidsdienst onderzoekt of een softwareupdate de grootschalige storing bij de luchtvaartautoriteit FAA heeft veroorzaakt. De FAA laat weten dat het vliegtuigen om uiterste voorzichtigheid aan de grond houdt.
Het is niet duidelijk wanneer het verbod kan worden opgeheven.
