Global Freshwater Levels Decline Since 2014, NASA-German Satellites Reveal
Data from NASA and German satellites reveal Earth's freshwater levels declined significantly after May 2014, with storage remaining persistently low. Research attributes this to global warming, major droughts, and human activity such as irrigation. The trend raises concerns over water stress, food security, and long-term environmental stability.

Saber-Toothed Kitten Preserved for 37,000 Years Found in Siberian Ice
A saber-toothed kitten, frozen in Siberian permafrost for 37,000 years, has provided an unprecedented look at the extinct predator Homotherium latidens. Unearthed near the Arctic Circle, the well-preserved cub retains soft brown fur, intact whiskers, sharp claws, and footpads, offering unique insights into its anatomy. Radiocarbon dating revealed t...

2,200-Year-Old Egyptian Vase Reveals Evidence of Hallucinogenic Rituals
A 2,200-year-old Egyptian vase depicting the dwarf god Bes has been found to contain traces of a hallucinogenic drink. Chemical analysis revealed ingredients like wild rue, Egyptian lotus, and Cleome plants, known for their psychotropic effects. Other components, such as sesame, pine nuts, and grapes, suggest the drink was designed to mimic blood. ...

Did Earth Once Freeze Completely? New Evidence Found in Colorado Rocks
Recent research in Colorado’s Pikes Peak has uncovered crucial evidence supporting the Snowball Earth hypothesis. The discovery of Tava sandstone formations suggests that Earth experienced a global ice sheet about 700 million years ago. Using advanced radiometric dating, researchers pinpointed the formation of these sandstones to between 690 and ...

NASA’s Hubble Reveals Impact of Milky Way’s Gravitational Force on Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently observed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Milky Way’s halo. Researchers found that the LMC’s gas halo has been significantly reduced, likely due to ram-pressure stripping. Despite this, the LMC retains enough gas to continue star formation. Future studies will focus on exploring othe...
