(CNN) — A building block of life may exist inside the global ocean on Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons.Two independent teams of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe the frozen surface of Europa, and each analysis of the space observatory’s detections revealed an abundance of carbon dioxide within a specific region of the frigid terrain. Both studies describing the findings were published September 21 in the journal Science.“On Earth, life likes chemical diversity — the more diversity, the better. We’re carbon-based life. Understanding the chemistry of Europa’s ocean will help us determine whether it’s hostile to life as we know it, or if it might be a good place for life,” said Geronimo Villanueva, lead author of the first study and planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement.Europa is one of several ocean worlds in our solar system besides Earth where scientists believe life could exist.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Friday that some “very long and difficult questions” still need to be answered before the European Union can start membership talks with Ukraine.The European Commission, which is assessing Ukraine’s progress, is due to publish its annual enlargement package next month, and EU leaders are set to decide in December whether to open accession negotiations with Ukraine.But Orbán told state radio the EU must decide whether it can “seriously consider” membership for a country that is currently at war, reported Reuters.“We don’t know how big the territory of this country is, as the war is still ongoing, we don’t know how big its population is as they are fleeing,” Orbán said. “To admit a country to the EU without knowing its parameters, this would be unprecedented.” The EU granted so-called candidate status to Ukraine last summer, kicking off an exhaustive procedure that could last many years. But Ukrainian leader...Gates will be locked and thousands of rangers furloughed at national parks if government shuts down

PHOENIX (AP) — Entrances to national parks will be blocked and thousands of park rangers will be furloughed if Congress doesn’t reach a budget agreement this weekend, the Department of Interior said Friday.The stance is a reversal from five years ago when the Trump administration kept some iconic parks open in a move that has been lambasted as illegal by the Government Accountability Office, the congressional watchdog.This time around, the majority of more than 420 national park units will be off-limits to the public, Interior officials said. The governors of Arizona and Utah vowed to keep some of the most iconic parks open with state funding, including Grand Canyon and Zion.Whether tourists can access other national parks will depend on size, location and other factors. Generally, if a site is closed or locked during non-business hours it will remain that way, Interior officials said. Places like the National Mall will stay open, but there are no guara...The far right has been feuding with McCarthy for weeks. Here’s how it’s spiraling into a shutdown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With little time left to prevent a government shutdown, the House is in a familiar position: effectively paralyzed as conservatives feud with Speaker Kevin McCarthy over matters large and small.McCarthy has pushed the Republican conference to embrace a short-term funding plan that would also include a sweeping Republican proposal for the southern border. But a small group of hardline conservatives has defied the speaker in a quest to get rid of stopgap funding plans, known as continuing resolutions, even if opposing them means forcing a government shutdown.It’s left McCarthy at an impasse. He will likely be left with the political damage of a shutdown unless he turns to Democrats for help in passing a bipartisan bill. But working with Democrats would give hard-right Republicans reason to remove him as speaker.Here’s what to know about the House Republicans’ conflict and where it may be headed:WHAT ARE THEY F...The Orioles have won the AL East.

For the first time since 2014 and just the third time in the past 40 seasons, the Orioles are division champions.Baltimore clinched the American League East title Thursday night with a 2-0 win over the Boston Red Sox.The Orioles had already secured a playoff berth — their first since 2016 — earlier this month, but the division championship is a rare feat for an organization accustomed to finishing in the AL East’s cellar. It also provides the club advantages heading into the postseason, such as a bye in the wild-card round and, thanks to a 100-59 record entering Friday that is now guaranteed to be the best in the circuit, home-field advantage up to at least the World Series.While there are still three regular-season games remaining, the focus shifts to the postseason, which begins next week.
