A new science report argues that the Moon, like Earth, has now entered a geological era influenced mainly by human activity. The article frames this claim as part of a broader set of recent science and opinion pieces, but the core story is that researchers say the impact of people on the lunar environment is now significant enough to define a new age.

The article also notes that some scientists have spent years solving a mathematical problem only for AI to beat them to the result and take the spotlight, underscoring how quickly technology is changing research. Separately, it says studies show people cannot easily be persuaded to change political views, though there may be other ways to influence behavior, such as consumer choices.
