French anthropologists discovered that the ancient Dogon tribe of Mali possessed advanced astronomical knowledge about the Sirius star system, including details about Sirius B, which […]
Researchers have documented one of nature’s great migrations – over 17 million insects annually passing through a mountain gap on the France-Spain border. A study found that at peak times, over 3,000 insects per meter moved through the Pass of Bujaruelo every minute, with 90% being marmalade hoverflies. Though insect numbers have declined, the migration remains an “amazing” spectacle to witness in September-October, especially on sunny days. SOURCE AFP
William Anders, the former US astronaut who captured the iconic “Earthrise” photo from the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, died at 90 in a plane crash off Washington state’s coast on Friday. Anders, along with Frank Borman and James Lovell, became one of the first humans to reach the Moon during that mission. The “Earthrise” image, showing Earth against the darkness of space, is considered one of the most influential photographs in history. NASA chief Bill Nelson paid tribute to Anders, praising his embodiment of exploration’s purpose. .AFP
