The report from NASA comes several days after the object was first reported, with many sharing photos and videos on social media of the object captured at around 7:45 p.m. on Nov. 5.

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel

Here are NC State's plans to increase tuition - for the second straight year

For the second year in a row, NC State is planning to ask the UNC System to increase in-state and out-of-state undergraduate tuition by 3% for the 2027-28 school year. That would bring in-state undergraduate tuition to $6,933, and out-of-state undergraduate tuition to $33,418. If the proposal gets final approval, it would mark the second straight year of 3% tuition increases for NC State’s incoming students. In-state undergrads already enrolled keep their current rate. Chancellor Kevin Howell said this will generate $4.5 million in extra cash for the university. The school plans to use most of that to “improve the quality and accessibility of the NC State educational experience.” But it is saving $1.4 million of the pot to fund promotional salary increases for faculty. NC State won’t raise tuition across the board for graduate students — but certain graduate programs will likely get more expensive. The board is asking to increase tuition for the school’s masters-level physiology program by $1,000, and tuition for its graduate programs in biomanufacturing by $2,000. The school also wants to increase its student media fee, its fee that funds repairs and renovations for its student center, and its housing and dining fees. The UNC

Have a Water Feature in Your North Carolina Yard? Do This Before the First Hard Freeze

Water swells by roughly nine percent when it turns to ice. That tiny stretch packs enough push to split a concrete basin or crack a pump housing overnight. I learned this the hard way one January morning in North Carolina. My little tiered fountain had a hairline crack running right down the bowl, and the pump inside sat frozen in a solid block.
