Fans of Star Trek were over the Moon when, in 2018, astronomers with the Dharma Planet Survey (DPS) announced the possible detection of 40 Eridani b, an extrasolar planet in the star system 40 Eridani. Located just 16.3 light-years away, this triple-star system happens to be where the planet Vulcan was located in the popular franchise. Based on radial velocity measurements of the system’s primary star (40 Eridani A), the discovery team estimated that “Vulcan” was a rocky planet several times the mass of Earth (a Super-Earth) with an orbital period of 42 days or so. The existence of this exoplanet has remained…

New results presented at the 54th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference could change our approach to Mars exploration. Scientists studying the surface of Mars discovered a relict glacier near the planet’s equator. The relict glacier could signal the presence of buried water ice at the planet’s mid-latitudes. Some areas of the Martian surface are known for light-toned deposits (LTDs.) NASA’s Viking spacecraft spotted them in the late 1970s. Since then, scientists have found them in Valles Marineris, Hebes Chasma, and in other locations on Mars. Their unusual features have captured the attention of researchers who want to understand how they…
The 2023 MVP Race has been an exciting one since the start of the year. The amount of reshuffling between top stars has been legendary since the favorite at the start of the year has changed until today. At the start of the year, Jayson Tatum looked to be the favorite as the Boston Celtics were red hot and was winning games consistently. All of a sudden, the big men started dominating, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Joel Embiid. Jayson Tatum, quite frankly, has fallen out of the race behind these three elite bigs. We have already seen how…
The Chicago Bulls were coming off of a three-peat and had the best overall player in the league. The issue was that the player decided that he was no longer going to play in the NBA. After the tragic death of his father, Michael Jordan decided that he was going to retire from professional basketball and pursue a career in baseball. Due to those dreams, the Bulls entered the season without the reigning three-time Finals MVP winner. Jordan was one of the highest-paid players towards the end of the 90s, making as much as $30 million or more in two seasons. His…
The Los Angeles Lakers are a team that completely restructured their roster at the trade deadline, and there is no doubt that they added a lot of young, talented role players to their roster. They have clearly improved as a squad, and it’ll be interesting to see how far they can go. When speaking on a recent episode of the “This League Uncut” podcast, Chris Haynes claimed that the Los Angeles Lakers believe that they can beat the Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs. “They believe they got a legitimate shot to take down Denver,” said Chris Haynes. “They believe they got a…

The Museo Subacuático de Arte, located off the coast of Isla Mujeres in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, is the world’s largest underwater museum. Composed of over 500 life-sized sculptures, MUSA offers incredible sculptures hidden 28 feet below the ocean’s surface. That means that the only way it can be explored is by diving or snorkeling. “The Silent Evolution” is a display with 450 statues. The project began in 2009 as an effort to protect the endangered Mesoamerican Reef (the second-largest barrier reef in the world) by diverting divers and snorkelers to MUSA. Roberto Díaz Abraham, one of the founders of the museum, describes…
The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a big win against the Orlando Magic last night, catapulted by a career-high 35 points from sophomore Austin Reaves. Reaves shot 18 free throws and converted 16 of them, as those shots ended up deciding a close game. Anthony Davis joked about how he and LeBron James wish they could get calls like Reaves. The amount of free throws Reaves has been shooting in the last 5 Lakers games has alarmed fans, as he’s currently outpacing superstars like Stephen Curry to the line. Fans and LeBron himself have also complained about the lack of calls he receives, with arguably the…
The NBA’s scoring title is a source of pride for players around the league. It means, at least for one season, that nobody scored the ball better than you among your peers. It means that the player was the most voluminous and prolific scorer in the league over an entire 82-game stretch and dominated one-half of the sport. Basketball is a tale of two ends of the floor, with the offense taking center stage over the last 15 years, especially with the three-point revolution that has made the game even more offense-friendly. The NBA scoring title has been broken down…
LeBron James is the all-time leading scorer in the NBA, and with every passing season, continues to build his case as the greatest ever ahead of Michael Jordan. Most players and fans still have Michael Jordan as their GOAT though, and there are good reasons for that. The way Jordan dominated in the 90s is something even LeBron James hasn’t managed, their Finals record is what sets them apart. James’ former teammate on the Heat, Mario Chalmers, has highlighted another difference. LeBron James Reacts After Austin Reaves Drops Career-High 35 Points In Lakers Win “Nobody fears Bron [James],” Chalmers said. “Nobody’s like, ‘Damn, I…

After dark, you’ll have some time to enjoy the rich treasures of the constellations Orion and Taurus, slowly setting in the west. Start with Taurus, the current home of magnitude…
LeBron James was watching from the sidelines as his Los Angeles Lakers fought extremely hard to beat the Orlando Magic tonight. Austin Reaves put on an offensive masterclass, scoring 35 points and leading the team to a win. LeBron was courtside the entire time but decided to shout out the sophomore Reaves on Twitter. James is expected to return to the Lakers before the regular season ends, so any wins the team can pick up with the star still out are greatly appreciated. The Lakers are now 35-37, tied for the final play-in spots with the Minnesota Timberwolves. They’re 1.5 games behind…
2 canine have been came upon dumped all through a park in Philadelphia, that they had been at the verge of lack of lifestyles. One of the Hell bulls known as Layla used to be curled next to her partner, Gracie, who used to be so cold, to protect her. She under no circumstances leaves her aspect, which is according to the baby-kisser Russ. The officer stored the canine using his girly voice to allow them to actually really feel comfortable. She took them to the vet, as that they had been part to lack of lifestyles! Thankfully, the vet…
Matt Bentley was off-roading in the West Desert near the Salt Flats in Utah in January 2018. He saw something running down the trail, according to ilovemydogsomuch. At first, he didn’t even know what it was because of how rough it looked. As he got closer, though, he saw that it was a dog. The dog was in such bad shape. It had no hair and wasn’t getting enough food. Bentley knew right away that he couldn’t leave her. He took her right away to the Utah Adoption Animal Clinic. There they gave her the care she needed so badly.…
A well-known ufologist and virtual archaeologist from Taiwan, Scott Waring, again turned his gaze to satellite images of our planet, and the result was not long in coming – a huge structure was discovered in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In support of his words, the researcher indicated the coordinates by which this strange structure can be studied in more detail: 16 ° 37’27.65 “S 143 ° 35’47.39” W Waring believes that this is an ancient alien city, built about 3 thousand years ago. It is located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and measures about 1 kilometer…
Modern NBA players enter the league at a very young age, with many getting drafted before their 20th birthday. As a result, these players can undergo many physical changes over their NBA career. Players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Steven Adams have proven that players can become different beasts entirely, and fans reacted to the transformations they and others NBA stars have had over the years. The post featured more stars like LeBron James, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Anthony Davis. Most reactions just focused on Antetokounmpo and Adams. One fan said, “Steven Adams switched identities.” Someone made fun of rookie James…
The NBA has more depth of talent at the moment than ever. There are superstars and stars aplenty, distributed surprisingly evenly across the league. This parity has made the NBA fun to watch, but it has also led fans to ask if any player today is truly feared. Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant are some examples of players who struck fear into their opponents’ hearts. And fans recently discussed which player holds that mantle today. Dillon Brooks Reveals He Didn’t Intend To Push CameramanThat Led To $35,000 Fine Darvin Ham Confirms LeBron James Will Return This Season The man…
Artist’s concept of the Mars Pathfinder mission, including the Carl Sagan Memorial Science Station and the six-wheeled rover, Sojourner. Credit: NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory-Caltech It started with JPL agreeing to land something on Mars — cheaply — and do it in a radically different way. This is how the era NASA called “Faster, Better, Cheaper” began. The documentary film “The Pathfinders” tells the story of a small group of engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who did not heed warnings that the audacious challenge of landing on Mars with airbags would likely not be a career-enhancing move. With a parachute that could not be tested in a…
This illustration shows a glowing stream of material from a star as it is being devoured by a supermassive black hole in a tidal disruption flare. When a star passes within a certain distance of a black hole – close enough to be gravitationally disrupted – the stellar material gets stretched and compressed as it falls into the black hole. Credit: NASAJPL-Caltech A group of physicists has developed a model that charts the unexpected orbit of a star around a supermassive black hole, uncovering new insights into one of the cosmos’ most extreme environments. Millions of light-years away in a remote…

Archaeologists find a 500-year-old shipwreck filled with gold coins. This discovery could solve the 16-century mystery about the vanishing of The Bom Jesus. It was nearly 500 years ago when The Bom Jesus, a Portuguese sailing ship, inexplicably vanished while en route to India. The ship was carrying gold, ivory and other treasures that have eluded even the most passionate treasure hunters. But a recent shipwreck in the Namibia desert, however, could signal the end of the hunt. The first signs of the wreck came when miners penetrated the ocean floor with bulldozers searching for diamonds. However, instead of diamonds,…

Regrettably, science has yet to discover a way to levitate bigger, heavier objects.
