Google AI Mode Unleashed: Inside the New AI Search Revolution

Google unveiled AI Mode as an experiment in March 2025 and began rolling it out to all U.S. English-speaking users by May 2025 during Google I/O. AI Mode runs on Google’s Gemini AI family, initially using Gemini 2.0 before being upgraded to Gemini 2.5 at I/O 2025. The feature uses a query fan-out technique that breaks complex questions into sub-queries, searches in parallel, and synthesizes a cited answer. AI Mode appears as a dedicated ‘AI Mode’ tab in Google Search and provides AI-generated answers with links and citations. Unlike AI Overviews, AI Mode delivers a full-page narrative answer rather than

NASA’s ATLAS telescope identified the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, currently about 420 million miles from Earth, with closest approach to the Sun on October 30, 2025, and it will pass safely between Mars and Earth as the third confirmed interstellar visitor after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. July marks Aphelion Day, when Earth is about 94.5 million miles from the Sun, but axial tilt, not distance, drives seasonal heat, with northern summers lengthened as Earth moves slower in its orbit at aphelion. Earth’s rotation is speeding up, shortening days by milliseconds, with scientists warning that a leap second may be subtracted by 2029,
