Batı'dan Nükleer Yatırım, Avrupa'da Sıcak Dalga, Enerji Krizi ve Güneş Tutulması

Summary · AI generated

ABD ve İngiltere, nükleer caydırıcılık ve hava savunma kapasitesini genişletmek için yüz milyarlarca dolarlık sözleşmelere imza attı. ABD Deniz Kuvvetleri, General Dynamics Electric Boat'a 76,6 milyar dolarlık Virginia ve Columbia sınıfı denizaltı inşası siparişi verdi; Pentagon, Lockheed Martin ile 58,6 milyar dolara kadar Patriot füzesi üretimi için anlaşma yaptı. İngiltere ise BAE Systems ile Dreadnought sınıfı nükleer denizaltılar için toplamda 8 milyar sterlinlik yatırım kapsamında 5,9 milyar sterlinlik yeni bir sözleşme açıkladı. İran ve Ukrayna'daki çatışmaların stokları erittiği belirtilirken, bu yatırımlar Batı'nın stratejik caydırıcılık altyapısını yenileme çabası olarak öne çıkıyor. Aynı dönemde Avrupa, aşırı sıcak hava dalgaları ve kuraklıkla mücadele ediyor. Fransa, İtalya ve İspanya'nın da aralarında bulunduğu bölgelerde en az 92 milyon kişi 35 derecenin üzerinde sıcaklıklara maruz kaldı; kıta en hızlı ısınan bölge olmaya devam ediyor. Macaristan Başbakanı Peter Magyar, Tuna Nehri'ndeki rekor düşük su seviyeleri nedeniyle ülkenin tek nükleer santralinin 44 yıl sonra ilk kez kapatıldığını duyurdu. Enerji krizi turizm ve havacılık sektörüne de yansıdı; TUI'nin faaliyet kârı yüksek jet yakıtı maliyetleri ve jeopolitik gerilim nedeniyle beklentilerin altında kaldı. Bu gelişmeler yaşanırken, Avrupa ana karası 2006'dan bu yana ilk tam güneş tutulmasına tanık oldu. İzlanda'dan İspanya'ya uzanan hat üzerinde milyonlarca kişi gökyüzü olayını izledi; bilim insanları için nadir bir gözlem fırsatı oluştu. Tutulma, kıtadaki enerji ve iklim krizinin gölgesinde sembolik bir an olarak kaydedildi.

    Italy's raging heatwave set to continue for at least another week

    (ANSA) - ROME, AUG 10 - The current heatwave that is baking Italy, the fourth of the year so far, is forecast to continue for at least another week, with temperatures close to 38-39° C in some areas. On Monday 19 of the 27 major cities that the Italian health ministry monitors for its heat warnings were on the maximum red alert - Ancona, Bari, Bologna, Campobasso, Catania, Civitavecchia, Florence, Frosinone, Genoa, Latina, Messina, Naples, Palermo, Perugia, Pescara, Reggio Calabria, Rieti, Rome and Viterbo. Brescia will join them on Wednesday, taking the total up to 20. For the first time ever, all 27 were on red on Thursday, although subsequent storms brought the temperatures down slightly in much of northern Italy. The red warning (Level 3) indicates a heatwave emergency with prolonged heat and a high general risk to health, even for young people in good health. Experts have estimates that this summer's above-average heat could cause between 5,000 and 7,000 deaths more than normal. These include a Moldovan construction worker who died on August 4 on his first day on the job, in which he was employed off the books. An autopsy said the death was caused by heat collapse and a heart attack. Three people died on Sunday after suffering bad turns while at the season - a 68-year-old woman near Salerno, a 80-year-old man at Ansedonia and a 61-year-old man in Liguria's Cinque Terre. Scientists say the climate crisis caused by human greenhouse gas emissions is making extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, supercharged storms and flooding more frequent and more intense. Although there are many sources of the greenhouse gases that are causing global heating, the main driver is the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal, sales of which generate huge profits for the world's energy giants.

    Europe braces for another summer heatwave

    Much of Europe is bracing for yet another heatwave following periods of scorching temperatures that have driven rivers to record lows, ignited historic forest fires and contributed to thousands of deaths. Parts of Britain and France on Monday were already under extreme heat warnings with forecasts of temperatures around the mid-30s Celsius. Unusually high temperatures were also forecast in coming days across a swathe of countries not accustomed to the heat, such as Switzerland, Austria and Hungary. Europe’s weather warning system MeteoAlarm on Monday said scorching temperatures are already being felt across much of Italy and coastal areas of Croatia. Here’s what to know as temperatures soar again across the continent, the fastest-warming on the planet due to human-caused climate change. ‘Intense heat’ The United Kingdom’s Met Office warned at the weekend that the summer’s fifth hot spell was about to take hold in a country whose infrastructure has been built for a more temperate, cooler climate. “Yet another spell of extremely hot weather is set to spread north across much of the UK with temperatures reaching the mid-30s Celsius in places,” it said on X on Sunday. Half of England and the whole of Wales is already officially in drought — leaving 23 million people subject to hosepipe bans — with more English regions expected to be declared in drought later Monday. Next to no rain was in forecasts for impacted areas this week. In France, the national weather agency Meteo-France warned on Monday that the southeast would see temperatures as high as 35°C, with that level of spreading as the week progresses. “The intense heat will affect almost the entire country between Wednesday and Friday,” it said in a bulletin. The agency also warned that due to climate change, “future summers will generally be hotter than those experienced to date”. Both France and the UK have seen thousands of excess deaths during previous heatwaves this year. Fires and drought Greece reported its second fire this season to spark near the capital Athens on Monday, dispatching hundreds of crew and equipment. Already, more than 10,000 hectares of pine forests were blackened by a blaze that broke out 10 days ago northwest of the capital. France and Spain have already seen historic wildfires so far this summer, with record levels of drought causing tinder-dry conditions. Heat and drought are also driving rivers across Europe to record lows. The Rhine in Germany could drop so much it becomes unnavigable, industry groups warned Monday. Cargo ships have managed to continue transporting goods along the river, which flows through the industrial heartland of Europe’s top economy, but with reduced loads and at higher costs. And Polish officials announced that the Vistula, the country’s longest river, had matched its record low in Warsaw on Monday — a record only set on Friday. Low levels along the Danube river have already forced Hungary and Romania to shutter its nuclear plants, which rely on the water for cooling, since late July. By the numbers Nearly 120 million Europeans live in regions where July 2026 was the hottest ever recorded, according to an AFP analysis of national weather agencies and Copernicus climate data. The records were concentrated in southern Britain, western France, and northern and eastern Spain. At least 12,000 excess deaths were recorded across nine European countries during one heatwave in June, an AFP analysis of national statistics found last month, a toll that could rise as more data is released. Solar eclipse A solar eclipse occurring on Wednesday that will be visible across parts of the European continent is expected to attract skygazers despite the unwelcoming weather. The European Space Agency’s observatory in Teruel, Spain, will host a day of activities up to the main event with the eclipse beginning at 7:33pm CEST (10:33pm PKT) and reaching totality at 8:23pm. The area saw temperatures breach 30°C on Monday, and the eclipse will cross over areas that were hit by the devastating Spanish fires last month.

Sınırı Türkiye’ye ulaşmayan güneş tutulması, Kuzey Kutbu çevresi ve Grönland’dan İzlanda’nın batısına, ardından Atlas Okyanusu üzerinden İber Yarımadası’na ilerledi. Tam Güneş tutulması, dar bir hat üzerinde yaklaşık iki dakikaya varan tam bir karanlık oluştururken, Avrupa’nın büyük bir bölümünde farklı oranlarda parçalı olarak izlendi. Tutulma, Grönland, İzlanda, İspanya, Portekiz'in küçük bir bölümü ve Rusya'nın kuzey kesimlerinden tam olarak izlendi. Avrupa'nın geri kalanı, Kuzeybatı Afrika, Kanada ve ABD'nin kuzeyinde ise parçalı tutulma gözlemlendi. İzlanda’da tutulma yerel saatle 16.47’de başlayarak 17.48 civarında tam evreye ulaştı. İspanya’da tutulmanın parçalı evresi yaklaşık 19.30’da başlarken, Ay'ın tam gölgesi ülkenin üzerinden yerel saatle 20.26 ve 20.33 arasında geçti. Tutulma, gözlem noktasına bağlı olarak yaklaşık 30 saniye ile yaklaşık 2 dakika arasında sürdü. Portekiz’de ise yalnızca kuzeydoğudaki küçük bir bölgede, 19.30 dolaylarında birkaç saniyelik bir tam tutulma yaşandı. EN UZUN TUTULMA İZLANDA’DA GÖZLEMLENDİ Tam tutulmanın en uzun sürdüğü nokta İzlanda’nın batısında oldu. Burada güneş, yaklaşık 2 dakika 18 saniye boyunca örtülü kaldı. İspanya beklenen yoğunluk nedeniyle 350 resmi gözlem alanı oluşturdu. Güneş tutulması gözlemi etkinliklerinin güvenliğini sağlamak için 33 binden fazla güvenlik personeli görevlendirildi. AVRUPA’DA BİRÇOK KENTTE PARÇALI TUTULMA GÖZLEMLENDİ Tam tutulma kuşağının dışında kalan İngiltere, İrlanda, Fransa, Almanya, İtalya ve İskandinav ülkelerinde tutulma, parçalı olarak izlendi. Londra’da 18.17’de başlayan tutulma, 19.13’te en yüksek seviyeye ulaştı ve Güneş’in yaklaşık yüzde 92’si örtüldü. Dublin’de örtülme yüzde 94, Paris’te yüzde 92, Berlin’de yüzde 85 ve Oslo’da yüzde 83 civarında gerçekleşti. Parçalı tutulma, Avrupa’nın yanı sıra Kanada ve ABD’nin bazı kesimleri ile Kuzeybatı Afrika’da da parçalı olarak görüldü. AVRUPA'DA 1999’DAN BU YANA GÖZLENEN İLK TAM TUTULMA Tam tutulma, Güneş’in ışığı Ay tarafından tamamen engellendiğinde, yani Ay’ın gölgesi dünya üzerindeki gözlemciler için Güneş’in önünü tamamen kapattığında görülüyor. Gün ışığının sadece bir kısmı engellendiğinde ise parçalı Güneş tutulması yaşanıyor. Bugünkü tutulma, Avrupa'da 1999’dan bu yana gözlenen ilk tam tutulma oldu. PERSEİD METEOR YAĞMURU Tam tutulma, aynı zamanda en düzenli ve gözlemciler tarafından en çok sevilen meteor yağmurlarından biri olan Perseid meteor yağmurunun zirveye ulaştığı döneme denk geldi.

    Millions of people in Iceland and Spain set for 'event of the century' eclipse

    Millions of people gathered in Iceland and northern Spain to witness Europe’s first total solar eclipse in 27 years on Wednesday, with Spanish officials warning people to avoid areas where a heatwave has raised the risk of wildfires. Authorities were expecting up to 6 million visitors in mostly rural areas within the eclipse’s path across the north of Spain and the Balearic Islands, said Juan Cruz, Spain’s Secretary of State for Science. “I hope that tonight will see the emergence of a wonderful generation of astrophysicists,” he said. “It’s such a special moment.” The eclipse will be quickly followed by the sunset in Spain, making the event particularly alluring. Police, planes, and helicopters are on standby The uncanny sensation when day briefly turns into twilight and some animals fall quiet as the moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun was often treated as an omen in the past, a cosmic struggle or a sign of divine power. Frenchman Leyssalle Anthony, 39, prepares a telescope to view the total solar eclipse from the beach, in Arija, Spain, August 12, 2026. — Reuters Now, Spain sees it as a chance to showcase seldom-visited regions and draw tourists away from its overcrowded beach resorts, while also rolling out a massive police operation and public safety campaign to prevent them from causing wildfires. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told reporters 25,000 police officers had been assigned to guarantee security around the eclipse observation while nearly 100 planes and helicopters were also being deployed. He called on citizens to follow the eclipse from the hundreds of observation points set up by authorities and abide by the restrictions set up around some parks. “Let’s not forget that the wildfire risk is very high; it’s extreme due to high temperatures,” he said. Lola Guerreiro spent the night in the mountains near Arco de las Salinas in eastern Spain, home to Galactica Europe’s largest educational astronomy centre as well as the Javalambre observatory, after making the long drive from Extremadura to view the eclipse. People walk out of a portable planetarium during an eclipse watch party on the day of a total solar eclipse in Buitrago del Lozoya, Spain, August 12, 2026. — Reuters “Watching a total solar eclipse has been a dream of mine for many, many years, and I didn’t want to miss the chance to experience it, even though it meant a seven-hour journey,” she said. Sergio, a 60-year-old Italian, had made the trek in a camping van with his family to Arija in northern Spain. “I do feel a little emotional. Yes, because I know I won’t have another chance in my life to see an eclipse, a phenomenon like this,” he said. The Iberian Peninsula last saw a total solar eclipse in 1912. It is set to experience another one on August 2, 2027, and an annular eclipse in January 2028, completing the so-called “Iberian Eclipse Trio.” Eclipse fever in the land of sagas In Iceland’s capital Reykjavik, glasses to allow people to look at the phenomenon without damaging their eyes have been sold out for days as the Nordic country of roughly 400,000 people expects to welcome up to 80,000 visitors. A narrow path of totality will reach Iceland’s westernmost coast at about 5:44pm (1744 GMT), before the moon’s shadow races east. People lie down inside a portable planetarium during an eclipse watch party on the day of a total solar eclipse in Buitrago del Lozoya, Spain, August 12, 2026. — Reuters Totality will last up to 2 minutes and 13 seconds in the far west, though most cities will see shorter periods of darkness. Authorities have warned of heavy traffic and urged viewers to arrive early. Singer Bjork was due to perform a DJ set at an eclipse-themed event south of Reykjavik. US space agency Nasa plans to fly a high-altitude WB-57 aircraft from Iceland to follow the moon’s shadow, and Nasa-funded teams will launch balloons to study how the sudden darkness and cooling affect the lower atmosphere. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Karen Williams, 51, who was visiting from Britain. “I love the outdoors, and so I wanted to come and see the eclipse and just experience it.” Angela Cordoba reacts as she wears virtual reality goggles next to her grandchildren, Gadea, 3, and Giulia, 6, as they attend an eclipse watch party on the day of a total solar eclipse in Buitrago del Lozoya, Spain, August 12, 2026. “Although I do hear, probably in the UK where I’ve come from… they’re going to get a better view of it than us here tonight.” Skies over Iceland were overcast on Wednesday with the Icelandic Met office predicting clouds and rain for much of the path of the eclipse, adding that the best chances of breaks in the solid cover were expected in the northwest of the country. Aside from casual observers, the event also draws “eclipse chasers”, enthusiasts who crisscross the globe to be in the path of totality whenever an eclipse occurs. Gordon Telepun, a retired plastic surgeon and amateur astronomer from the US who has photographed six total eclipses, said he would watch from the island of Mallorca because Spain checked all the boxes for eclipse chasers.

    Güneş’e tutulduk

    Önceki gün yaşanan tam Güneş tutulması Rusya’nın ücra Arktik kuzeyinde başladı; ardından Batı Avrupa’nın büyük bir bölümü üzerinde bir yay çizdi. Akdeniz’in üzerinde sona eren tam Güneş tutulması en iyi şekilde İspanya, İzlanda, Grönland ve Portekiz’in küçük bir bölgesinde izlenebildi. Parçalı Güneş tutulması ise Avrupa genelinde, Kanada’da, ABD’nin kuzeyinde ve Afrika’nın kuzeybatısında görüldü. Güneş’in Ay tarafından tam kapanması, kıtanın bazı bölgelerini gündüz karanlığa gömdü, sıcaklıklar düşerken kuşlar aniden sessizleşti, milyonlarca insan, batan Güneş’in ışığının neredeyse tamamen engellendiği gökyüzüne baktı. Ay’ın Güneş ışığını tamamen örtmesi anlamına gelen tam tutulma turizm patlamasına dönüştü. Turizm patlaması İzlanda’da insanlar, 72 yıl sonra ülkenin ilk tam Güneş tutulmasını izlemek için hava, kara ve deniz yoluyla alanlara akın etti. İzlanda’dan gözlem yapanlar arasında, Ay’ın gölgesini yüksek irtifada uçan WB-57 uçağıyla takip eden ABD uzay ajansı NASA da vardı. İspanya ise tam bir turizm patlaması yaşadı. İspanya’da çarşamba günü milyonlarca insan, Güneş, Ay ve Dünya’nın hizalanarak gezegenin bazı kısımlarını kısa süreliğine karanlığa gömdüğü tam Güneş tutulmasını en iyi açıdan izleyebilmek için bulutsuz şehir ve kasabalara akın etti. Bu, ülkenin son bir asırdan uzun süredir tanıklık ettiği ilk tam Güneş tutulmasıydı. İspanyol havayolu şirketi Iberia, deniz seviyesinden 10 bin metre yükseklikte, özel bir charter uçuşuyla Güneş, Ay ve Dünya’nın aynı hizaya geldiği anı canlı yayınladı. Tutulma çılgınlığı İspanyol yetkililer, İspanya’nın kuzeybatısındaki A Coruna’dan Akdeniz adası Mallorca’ya kadar 200 km boyunca uzanan Güneş tutulması güzergahına 6 milyon civarında insanın akın ettiğini söyledi. Tutulma çılgınlığı sayesinde 450 bin ekstra turistin İspanyol ekonomisine 347 milyon euroluk bir canlılık kattığı belirtildi. İngiliz astrofizikçi Graham Jones, İspanya’da AFP’ye verdiği demeçte, “Tam kararma rotası çok dar. Genişliği sadece birkaç yüz kilometre. İspanya’yı bu kadar özel kılan da bu. Tam kararma rotası İspanya yarımadasını bir uçtan bir uca katediyor” dedi. Londra’nın güneydoğusundaki Brunswick Park’ta ise her yaştan kalabalık, yüzde 92’lik tutulmayı başta özel gözlükler olmak üzere çeşitli yöntemlerle izledi. Güneş tutulması Avrupa’da 2006’dan sonra ilk kez gerçekleşti. Hayranlık, korku ve saygı Güneş tutulması, Ay’ın Dünya ile Güneş arasından geçmesiyle Güneş ışığını kısmen veya tamamen örtmesi olayıdır. Bu gök olayında Ay’ın gölgesi Dünya üzerine düşer ve gündüz vakti kısa süreli bir alacakaranlık veya karanlık yaşanır. İnsanlık tarihi boyunca tutulmalar, doğanın normal akışını anlık olarak durduruyor gibi göründükleri için hayranlık, korku ve saygı uyandırmıştır. Güneş ve Ay’ın hizalanmasıyla oluşan gölge veya “umbra” (tam gölge), sıcaklıkların düştüğü, gölgelerin tuhaf açılarla belirdiği ve bazı hayvanların uykuya daldığı garip bir alacakaranlık yaratır. Paris Gözlemevi’ne göre, Ay’ın tam gölgesinin Dünya yüzeyinde saatte 3 bin 430 kilometre hızla hareket etmesi nedeniyle, belirli bir noktadan izlenebilen tam kararma anı sadece birkaç dakika sürdü. Ay’ın Güneş’in yolundan geçmeye başlayıp bitirmesiyle gerçekleşen toplam parçalı tutulma süresi ise bir saat 45 dakikayı buldu. Tutulma bilim insanlarına, Güneş’in atmosferini ve en dış katmanını incelemek için nadir bir fırsat sunuyor.
