The World

Scientists have discovered the world’s largest coral — so big it can be seen from space. The mystery of the spy whale in Norway has been solved. He was a naughty whale who ran away from a Russian military base he was charged with guarding. And the world’s largest offshore solar farm is going online. The facility, off China’s coast, can provide power for nearly 3 million urban residents.
