On Dec. 7, a bag of popcorn, along with an Amazon Fire TV stick, left a Cambridge warehouse in the U.K. and 13 minutes later, both were accepted by an Amazon customer, one of two who had agreed to be part of the test program. A video posted by Amazon shows a fully autonomous drone, no humans involved, taking off from the warehouse and flying over fields to deposit the package just outside the customer's home. Amazon, with drones, aims to make deliveries in 30 minutes or less. Packages must weigh five pounds or less and can be delivered only during the day and in clear weather. The Seattle-based company plans to expand the trial to hundreds of users.

The company claims the drones, guided by GPS and flying below 400 feet, can make deliveries within 30 minutes, from click to plop.

United Parcel Service and FedEx Corp. are having a hard time keeping up with holiday shipping volumes that have "blown past expectations," writes The Wall Street Journal. And the delayed delivery of millions of orders could rapidly become the Cyber Grinch that stole this Christmas. Meanwhile, back at the Santa's workshop located in Cambridge, U.K., Amazon has apparently made its first customer delivery by drone. Also according to the Journal, the drone made the trip in about 13 minutes, well ahead of the promised 30 minute windows for its "Prime Air" drone delivery service.

Revealed: 'Natural thermostat' that cools the air in Earth's atmosphere during violent solar storms Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) release electrically charged plasma from the sun These also create shock waves similar to supersonic planes making sonic booms The shockwaves heat up and expand Earth's atmosphere However, they also cause nitric oxide to form, which cools it down again Strong solar activity, which includes CMEs, is known to damage satellites, cause power outages back on Earth, and even disrupt GPS navigation services The shockwaves heat up and expand Earth's atmosphere Researchers have pinpointed the'natural thermostat' that cools the air in Earth's upper atmosphere after violent solar storms.
