Glastonbury 2025 day two: A rainy start for festival-goers on Worthy Farm
It's day two of Glastonbury Festival 2025, and a showery start for those arriving on Worthy Farm. Stages, including Levels and Glade, are opening up for their first acts this Thursday 26 June and camping spots are quickly filling up. The damp weather doesn't seem to have dampened spirits at the site - lots of smiles from those lugging their belongings from car park to camp. This year's festival will see headline performances from British rock/pop band The 1975, veteran singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. Those settling in at the world-famous festival in Pilton, can expect a mixed bag of sunshine and rain over the coming days, forecasters have said. Ticket-holders advised to prepare for mainly warm weather, but to also bring waterproofs. Worthy Farm could see thunderstorms over the weekend. The UKHSA has also given advice on how revellers can keep themselves safe over the five days. Regulars at the festival have also been sharing their tips on how to enjoy Glastonbury without spending a fortune. Sir Rod Stewart's boombox-shaped toilet A giant boombox-shaped toilet, co-designed by Sir Rod Stewart, has been unveiled today. WaterAid's Boombox Bog houses a toilet that sits behind the tape deck. It's decorated in leopard print, a pattern often worn by Sir Rod. The veteran rockstar, 80, will perform in front of thousands of music fans on Sunday when he plays the coveted tea-time legends slot on the Pyramid Stage, which sits nearby to the toilet. The Maggie May singer said: 'I've spent my life singing to packed arenas and festival crowds, but nothing hits a high note quite like clean water and a decent loo. 'They might not be sexy, but they're life-changing.'That's why I've teamed up with WaterAid to bring our funky Boombox Bog to Glastonbury Festival and shine a light on the importance of these everyday essentials that millions still live without.'Together, we're creating change that's gonna last forever. Sir Rod's performance will come after the singer postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. The singer has teased he will welcome a number of guests to the stage during his set, including his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood. Last night's flash mob for Michael Eavis Festival-goers at Glastonbury celebrated its founder, Sir Michael Eavis, with facemasks and a flashmob yesterday- the festival's opening day. Fans demonstrated their backing for the legendary festival founder in the form of a "Michael-Mob." Take a look!

UR researchers find similarities between the surfaces of Earth and Mars
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Researchers at the University of Rochester say some Martian soil looks like it's been shaped like we see on Earth's coldest climates — think the arctic. But there are a lot of things to ponder. 'That is a little bit where my research is heading towards, is trying to see is climate involved in these formations, or is it just a phenomenon that's occurring and we just see it in these certain locations on earth,' said JohnPaul Sleiman, a PhD Student at the University of Rochester. Sleiman is one of the researchers on the project, along with Assistant Professor of environmental science Rachel Glade. They looked at satellite images of nine craters on Mars and compared them to the arctic and mountain regions here on our home planet. 'In the winter, when soil freezes, it sort of poofs up perpendicular to the slope,' said Glade. 'We actually see this in Rochester. If you go out in the winter, sometimes the soil heaves… So, it's a common process in cold places in the winter, and then in the summer when it thaws, the soil sort of settles, and this can cause downhill motion of the soil.' Researchers are likening this wave-like pattern to paint dripping down a wall. The impact is one to three centimeters per year. 'So, it's very slow, not something that's easy for humans to observe, but added up over many, many years, it can result in the formation of these patterns,' said Glade. These researchers say that what they can discover without actually leaving the planet and using their tools on Mars' surface is awesome. 'Studying these similar features is interesting because we, one, learn how it's working on Earth, we learn about how it's working on another planet,' said Sleiman, 'and that tells us both about both systems.' Ultimately, the study is raising big questions about Mars' past — and potentially its habitability. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
