The Dracaena cinnabari, also known as the Dragon tree, is the prominent symbol of Socotra. Its unique shape resembles a large mushroom or umbrella. When the tree’s bark is cut, it produces a red sap that quickly hardens. The locals have been using the resulting crimson gum for medical, veterinary, and cosmetic purposes since ancient times. According to them, the juice of Dracaena cinnabari can even stop bleeding during menstruation in women. You can find more videos about this incredible place on my Instagram. Among my favorite sights were the kilometer-long sand dunes along the azure Indian Ocean, puffer fish,…

Astronomers have discovered an unusually lonely galaxy, 3C 297, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the International Gemini Observatory. Located 9.2 billion light-years from Earth, the galaxy appears to have assimilated its former companion galaxies, challenging current understanding of galaxy and galaxy cluster formation. Researchers suggest that 3C 297 could be a “fossil group,” the end stage of a galaxy merging with several others, making it the most distant fossil group discovered so far.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope that was launched in December 2021 and is currently conducting infrared astronomy. It is the largest optical telescope in space and is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. One of its main goals is to find the first galaxies that formed in the early universe and peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems. What is a galaxy and how do we measure its distance? A galaxy is a collection of billions of…

A large statue of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh was discovered in a suburb of Cairo. Archaeologists from Egypt and Germany have discovered the remains of an ancient Egyptian statue they think could depict one of history’s most famous rulers, Ramses II. Who was Ramses II?Ramses II led Egypt for a 66 years, a startling length of time in the ancient world, when entire lifespans rarely lasted that long and royal reigns were nasty, brutish, and short. “The growth and prosperity seen in Egypt at the time earned him the title ‘Ramses the Great’.” Later pharaohs called him the “Great Ancestor.”…

JJ Redick dished it out at Stephen A. Smith when the duo focused on LeBron James’ thoughts of contemplating retirement after the Los Angeles Lakers were swept 4-0 by the Denver Nuggets in the WCF. “It’s not just for a calculated reason. James is coming off year 20, age 38, a long playoff run where he has had to play a ton of minutes with an injury,” Redick said on First Take. “It’s just human nature that you would begin to say, ‘Maybe I’m nearing the end.’” When Smith replied that he “doesn’t understand much of what JJ just said,” Redick…

In the aftermath of a bitter defeat against the Denver Nuggets, Anthony Davis is feeling the full extent of fan frustration for his inconsistent play. While Davis can look dominant at times, there are moments he becomes invisible on offense and that was much the case on Monday when he scored 21 points on just 40% shooting. Based on talent alone, AD is one of the best in the league but it’s rare for him to put together a long stretch of games where he is playing at an elite level. For this reason, many in Lakers Nation have warmed…

Renowned scientist Peter Ma has successfully harnessed the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in processing data amassed by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, according to a recent press release. Preliminary results hint at the possibility of discovering non-terrestrial “technosignatures”, potentially indicating the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. This would mark a significant achievement, aligning with SETI’s ultimate objective. In a groundbreaking research paper featured in Nature Astronomy, Ma elaborates on his strategy to train a machine-learning algorithm on 480 hours of telescope data from 820 stars compiled in 2016. Surprisingly, this AI method identified eight intriguing…
