Guantanamo Bay—best known for its high-security prison—just had a short-lived experiment as an immigration detention site. But now, all migrants held there have been quietly removed and sent back to the U.S. Just weeks ago, officials transported a small number of undocumented migrants to the U.S. military base in Cuba.

We already know climate change is making a mess of things down here on Earth, but now it’s causing problems in space too.

During a live-fire drill with U.S. forces, two fighter jets accidentally dropped eight bombs outside the designated training zone, turning a quiet neighborhood in Pocheon into an unintended warzone.
