In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers from Griffith University in Australia, ancient cave paintings in Sulawesi, Indonesia have pushed the boundaries of human history. By utilizing innovative techniques, scientists have uncovered evidence that these artworks date back at least 51,200 years, making them the oldest known examples of figurative and narrative art in the
In the vast expanse of the Universe, the Milky Way is not the only player. Dwarf galaxies, small and faint, with as few as a thousand stars, dance around our cosmic neighborhood in delicate orbits. While the exact number of these dwarf galaxies remains uncertain, scientists believe there are far more than the roughly 60
In a groundbreaking study, NASA scientists have unveiled a fascinating discovery in the ionosphere, located about 48–965 kilometers above Earth’s surface. The study, conducted using the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) imaging instrument, has shed light on peculiar X and C shapes that have been observed in this part of the atmosphere.
In recent years, California has made significant progress in reducing vehicle emissions through environmental policies and technological advancements. However, a new study has revealed that microscopic airborne particles and ground-level ozone, key contributors to air pollution, have remained stubbornly high due to the rise of ‘secondary sources’ such as trees and shrubs in urban areas.
4,000 years ago, the people of Tell Tweini in Syria followed a diet that closely resembled what we now know as the Mediterranean diet.
