Data suggests refi applications are up. But LOs aren’t seeing a surge of business

Top Stories Tamfitronics When mortgage rates logged their sharpest decline of the year last week following an underwhelming jobs report, data showed that refinance demand surged.Despite what seems like welcome news for loan originators, who have suffered through thinning margins for two years, refinance business has yet to go up much, LOs told HousingWire.“I was going through my newsletters last week to Realtors and told them to watch for the headlines,” said Geoff Black, senior loan originator at Guild Mortgage. “It (refi application volume) is meaningful, but is it meaningful on a macro scale? Absolutely not.”“Our group in Alabama did five this summer. Tampa Bay, Florida, area did three. Tennessee did two,” said Troy Borkowski, a Southeast regional manager for American Financial Network. “There have been a few refinances that started to trickle in,...

Dinosaur-Killing Chicxulub Asteroid Came from beyond Jupiter: Study

Top Stories Tamfitronics The so-called Chicxulub impactor was a carbonaceous-type asteroid that had formed beyond the orbit of Jupiter, according to a new paper published in the journal Science.Ankylosaurus magniventrisa large armored dinosaur species, witnesses the impact of an asteroid, falling on the Yucatan peninsula 66 million years ago. Image credit: Fabio Manucci.About 66 million years ago, a 10-km-wide asteroid crashed into Earth near the site of the small town of Chicxulub in what is now Mexico.The impact unleashed an incredible amount of climate-changing gases into the atmosphere, triggering a chain of events that led to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and 75% of life on the planet.Evidence includes high levels of platinum-group elements (PGEs) like iridium, ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, platinum, and palladium in Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary layers, which are rare on Earth but common in...

Researchers Capture First Two-Dimensional Spectral Images of Aurorae

Top Stories Tamfitronics Two-dimensional (2D) aurora images with full spectrum have been captured by scientists in Japan using the newly-developed hyperspectral camera for auroral imaging (HySCAI).Keogram of (a) all-sky camera and (b) HySCAI, and (c) time evolution of space-averaged spectrum of aurora emission measured by HySCAI on October 20-21, 2023. Image credit: Yoshinuma et al., doi: 10.1186/s40623-024-02039-y.The aurora is a natural luminous phenomenon caused by interactions between precipitating particles and the constituents of the upper atmosphere.Most of the observed spectrum consists of lines or bands of neutral or ionized nitrogen and oxygen atoms.There is a variety of characteristic colors of aurorae, such as green and red, but there are multiple theories about the emission process by which they appear in different types of aurorae, and to understand the colors of aurorae, the light must be...
