TOPSHOT - A handout photo taken and released on February 19, 2025 by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania shows dolphins stranded on a beach near Arthur River on the west coast of Tasmania. A pod of 157 dolphins was found stranded on a remote beach in Australia's southern island of Tasmania, environment officials said as veterinarians raced to the scene. They appeared to be members of a large dolphin species known as false killer whales, Tasmania's environment department said, named for the orca-like shape of their skull.

Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy Space Center for Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida to board the Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft for the Crew Flight Test launch , on June 5, 2024. Two astronauts stranded in space may sound like the start to a big-screen science thriller, but the Boeing Starliner mission is no work of Hollywood fiction. Astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams were originally scheduled to spend a little more than a week aboard the International Space Station as part of the debut crew flight test of the Starliner. However, the spacecraft encountered several issues during the flight, and now the two astronauts will likely have to extend their stay aboard the ISS for several months. (Photo by Miguel J.
