NJ Residents To Get $100 Back On Electric Bills — Here’s When You’ll See It NJ Residents To Get $100 Back On Electric Bills — Here’s When You’ll See It
NJ Residents To Get $100 Back On Electric Bills — Here’s When You’ll See It Shocking electric bills have New Jersey families sweating — but help is on the way. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) voted Wednesday, Aug. 13, to give every residential customer a total of $100 in bill credits this fall. The Residential Universal Bill Credit (RUBC) program will knock $50 off September bills and another $50 off October bills, the board said.

Comet Approaching Earth Possible Alien Probe, Ivy League Scientist Says Comet Approaching Earth Possible Alien Probe, Ivy League Scientist Says
Comet Approaching Earth Possible Alien Probe, Ivy League Scientist Says A cosmic visitor is stirring up an earthly debate.  A Harvard University astrophysicist has suggested the incoming interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could be an alien probe. But NASA and most astronomers say it’s almost certainly a comet. 3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1, is an interstellar comet discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System station at Río Hurtado, Chile, on Tuesday, July 1. 3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar object to pass through our solar system, meaning it originated beyond it.  The prevailing view classifies it as a comet: an icy body th…
