A single squirrel has been officially blamed for a massive internet and phone outage that crippled government operations across Medina County, Ohio.What officials first suspected was a routine construction accident—contractors accidentally severing underground lines—turned out to be the handiwork of one remarkably persistent rodent. According to County Administrator Matt Springer, the squirrel infiltrated the county’s fiber-optic infrastructure, built a nest inside critical equipment, and chewed through multiple essential cables. The damage knocked out internet and telephone service at several key facilities, including the county prosecutor’s office, beginning on February 20.The outage disrupted government functions for days and served as a stark reminder that even the most advanced digital networks remain surprisingly vulnerable to basic physical threats. While squirrels are a well-known nuisance for power companies—frequently causing outages by gnawing on transformers and lines—this case stands out as a rare but real breach of high-speed fiber infrastructure.Local authorities are now collaborating with internet providers and the regional fiber network operator to install new protective barriers and reinforcements specifically designed to keep squirrels (and other wildlife) out. During a recent commissioners' meeting, Springer summed up the absurdity with a wry comment: “It’s hard to make this stuff up.”In an age of sophisticated cyber threats, sometimes the biggest enemy is a small, furry one with sharp teeth.Did you know? 🎓

Galileo’s long-lost notes have been discovered.They were found in an ancient astronomy text and shed new light on how he mastered the mathematical system he would later overthrow.Historian Ivan Malara has uncovered a remarkable scientific find at Italy’s National Central Library of Florence: a 16th-century printed copy of Ptolemy’s The Almagest filled with extensive handwritten annotations by a young Galileo Galilei.Though Galileo is famous for dismantling the ancient geocentric model, these newly identified marginal notes—likely written around 1590—show him as a dedicated scholar deeply engaged with the very Ptolemaic system he would eventually challenge. Far from a sudden philosophical break, Galileo’s shift toward a Sun-centered universe appears rooted in his thorough mastery of traditional mathematical astronomy, which allowed him to recognize its internal inconsistencies.The discovery offers an intimate glimpse into the intellectual development of one of history’s greatest scientific revolutionaries. Among the dense annotations, Malara identified a handwritten transcription of Psalm 145, aligning with historical accounts that Galileo prayed before studying The Almagest. This nuanced portrait challenges the common image of Galileo as a straightforward rebel against authority. Instead, it reveals a thinker who deeply respected the technical rigor of his predecessors and used their own tools to demonstrate that Earth is not the center of the cosmos.This is one of the most significant additions to Galileo’s known textual record in modern times. Malara’s findings are detailed in a paper currently under review at the Journal for the History of Astronomy.[Joshua Sokol, “Galileo’s handwritten notes found in ancient astronomy text,” Science, February 26, 2026]Science and facts💡
