Valentine's Day: Dessert Overload, Jupiter Squashed, & Winter's Impact

The world's largest planet, Jupiter, has been recalculated to be smaller and flatter, while the Winter Olympics continue to grapple with the effects of climate change, relying heavily on artificial snow, and Valentine's Day gift guides offer a range of options, from extravagant desserts to tech gadgets, according to multiple news sources.

Jupiter's average radius is now measured at 69,886 kilometers, according to Nature News, based on data collected by the Juno orbiter. Meanwhile, the Winter Olympics face challenges due to warmer winters, leading organizers to produce over 56 million cubic feet of artificial snow for events, as reported by Time. The practice of using machine-made snow is becoming more widespread, with around 60% of the world's ski resorts relying on it alongside natural snowfall. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics relied almost entirely on artificial snow.

For those seeking Valentine's Day gifts, options abound. Wired highlighted the Boarderies brand-new XL Dessert Board, a gift layered with 47 different artisanal treats, as an extravagant option. The Verge's Valentine's Day gift guide, on the other hand, featured tech-focused gifts, including smart rings and Lego roses, catering to diverse preferences. The guide also included practical items like noise-canceling earbuds and USB-C hand warmers.

The shift towards artificial snow is a response to climate change, which is making winters warmer, according to Time. This practice has been used for decades by ski resorts to combat unreliable weather conditions.

As the cold weather persists, Vox reported that nearly half of Americans experience a dip in their mood during the winter months, according to a 2024 poll from the American Psychiatric Association. The article also offered advice on how to enjoy the winter season.
