Without a doubt, the 2022-23 NBA season has been one of the most exciting ones to watch in recent history. We are in the era of superteams, and that has certainly taken over the league, and we have seen a lot of great performances by the best teams and best players in the NBA. By the same token, we have been shocked by some players and some teams that have overperformed according to their preliminary expectations. Even if the regular season is currently close to ending as the playoffs are around the corner, we have seen enough evidence in the…

With the Dallas Mavericks on the verge of missing the post-season entirely, it’s pretty wild that they’ve technically been the most successful team in Texas this season. For decades, the Spurs were among the NBA’s best, and the Rockets weren’t too far behind with guys like Hakeem Olajuwon and James Harden helping make the franchise competitive. This season, however, if the Mavs continue their downward trajectory, it could be the first time in NBA history that none of the three Texas teams have made the playoffs. This season, the Rockets, Spurs, and Mavericks have a combined record of just 78-101,…

A long-lost city has been unearthed deep in the rain forest, in the heart of Mosquitia, Honduras’ wild, marshy, and mainly unexplored region. For nearly a century, explorers have been searching for the mythical “La Ciudad Blanca,” or “The White City.” and the Monkey God, a refuge where local people might hide from the conquistadores. The city of the Monkey God was described as a Garden of Eden from which no one ever returned. For almost a century, explorers and prospectors have reported tales of witnessing the white ramparts rising above the jungle undergrowth. Eventually, it was identified during an…

On a Christmas weekend in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pia was strolling down the street when she came upon a tiny and emaciated dog, abandoned and covered in sores all over, submissively hoping to die. She knew she had to assist him right away. The dog was so feeble that it appeared he wouldn’t survive the night. Pia sobbed as she carried the immobile dog to the veterinarian, and she rushed away. But the dog’s spirit had already been broken by abandonment at this point. He showed no reaction to any treatment, and his lifeless eyes betrayed a demeanor of defeat.…

Egypt is a famous ancient civilization on earth. One of the seven wonders of the world is the pyramid in Egypt, but so far no one has found the answer to who built the pyramid. Today, archaeologists have found evidence and evidence that the Pyramids were not built by the Egyptians.

Menkara Pyramid of Menkaure. These three pyramids were once praised by the Greek professor Philo…
University of Arizona astronomers join an international effort to study the BOAT (brightest of all time), a gamma-ray burst providing a “cosmic lab” for understanding massive star deaths. The burst, GRB 221009A, had exceptionally narrow jets and raises questions about the lack of a supernova. Credit: NASA/Swift/Cruz deWilde University of Arizona astronomers have joined an international effort to study the aftermath of the brightest flash of gamma rays ever observed. Observations involving various UArizona telescopes and instruments provide astronomers with a “cosmic lab” to study how massive stars die.

This artist’s concept shows the brilliant glare of two quasars residing in the cores of two galaxies that are in the chaotic process of merging. The gravitational tug-of-war between the two galaxies ignites a firestorm of star birth. Quasars are brilliant beacons of intense light from the centers of distant galaxies. They are powered by supermassive black holes voraciously feeding on infalling matter. This feeding frenzy unleashes a torrent of radiation that can outshine the collective light of billions of stars in the host galaxy. In a few tens of millions of years, the black holes and their galaxies will…
Draymond Green made a bold claim while reacting to the new CBA. The Golden State Warriors player believes that dynasties will be a thing of the past once this CBA kicks in. In fact, he named his legendary team as the last of his kind during a recent edition of his podcast. “Quite frankly with this new CBA, dynasties are over,” Green said on the April 4 edition of “The Draymond Green Show.” “There will not be a dynasty. So you all complained about the Golden State Warriors. ‘Oh man, KD came to the Warriors and blah, blah, blah.’ You…
The Denver Nuggets are heading into the Western Conference playoffs with guaranteed home-court advantage in every series after clinching the No. 1 seed in the West. After the Memphis Grizzlies lost in OT to the New Orleans Pelicans, they were mathematically eliminated from the race for the top seed. This is the first time in the Nuggets’ franchise history that they’ve been the top seed in the West.

Up until 2006, kids as young as 18 years old and straight out of high school were allowed to supersede the college ranks in favor of entering the NBA. This is not new news to older NBA fans as we have seen numerous stars take this route and go on to have massively successful and Hall of Fame careers. Names like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant come to mind first, while others had great careers but fly under the radar compared to those two. Now, the rules have changed, and all players declaring for the NBA Draft must be one…
The Maine Farmers’ Almanac started featuring Native American-inspired names for full Moons in the 1930s, which have since become well-known and commonly utilized. As per this almanac, the full Moon in April is referred to as the Pink Moon, a name derived from the herb moss pink. This plant, also called creeping phlox, moss phlox, or mountain phlox, is indigenous to the eastern United States and is among the first widespread blossoms to appear in spring.

Built in the fifth century, the Sri Lankan fortress of Sigiriya or “The Great Wall” attracted the attention of British archaeologists in the 1800s. Perched on a stone slab that juts out dramatically in the forests of central Sri Lanka, Sigiriya still appears as majestic as it was when it was first built by a notorious tyrant king in the fifth century AD. Also known as the lion fortress, Sigiriya (designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982) is accessed by a walkway cut into the rock face between a pair of giant lion’s feet. Over time, the fortress was later…
Pioneer 11 was the first spacecraft to explore Saturn up close. But that was far from its only accomplishment. Pioneer 11, seen in this artist’s concept, explored the outer solar system like few other spacecraft have.NASA/Don Davis Pioneer 11 is just one of five spacecraft currently on a trajectory that will take it out of the solar system. And in some 4 million years, this robotic emissary from Earth, which sent its final transmission nearly 20 years ago, will silently pass near the star Lambda Aquilae, located some 125 light-years away in the constellation Aquila the Eagle. However, Pioneer 11 was never…

It is not often we see a multiple-team trade that benefits every team. A trade involving multiple teams is hard to pull off because every component must match up salary-wise and also fit each team’s plan. However, there might be a blockbuster deal that could shake up both conferences and move a host of All-Star players around. The teams involved will be the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, and Dallas Mavericks. Each team is in a different place at this moment as the Lakers are trying to secure a playoff or play in seed, the Rockets are tanking…
