Ancient Bronze Age Settlement Discovered in Caucasus Mountains Using Drone Mapping
In the Caucasus Mountains, drone mapping has uncovered Dmanisis Gora, an ancient settlement dating back over 3,000 years. The project, led by Dr. Nathaniel Erb-Satullo and Dimitri Jachvliani, employed drones to capture high-resolution images of the site, revealing a vast defensive wall, graves, and other structural remains. The discovery challenges...

Mysterious Scar-Like Structure in Australia Might Have Been Caused by a Rare Tornado
A previously unknown tornado was discovered in Australia’s Nullarbor Plain by a caver using Google Earth. Researchers traced the scar, which extends over 11 kilometres, back to a November 2022 storm that brought intense winds and rainfall. The tornado, likely F2 or F3 in strength, left distinct marks on the landscape, still visible due to sparse ...

Darkest Regions of the Moon Explored Using Machine Learning Ahead of NASA’s Artemis Mission
A team of researchers have developed a method to help explore the darkest areas of the Moon that never receive sunlight. These are some of the coldest locations on the Earth's only natural satellite, and could contain ice which could be useful for future space missions. Researchers used a deep learning-driven post-processing tool and produced high-...
