The Dragonfly 44 galaxy has been a thorn in the scientific community’s side ever since it was found to consist almost entirely of dark matter in 2016. New research has allowed for a collective sigh relief, however. The galaxy, located some 330 million light-years away in the Coma Cluster, contains 1,000 times fewer stars than the Milky Way, making it extremely dim. Four years ago, astronomer […]
In January 2016 the then Prime Minister, David Cameron, proposed a Holocaust Memorial be built in Victoria Towers Gardens, next to the Palace of Westminster. But the memorial, which would cost at least £75 million, has been opposed by local residents and many prominent Jews. A public inquiry has been told the proposed memorial to the Holocaust would be in danger of becoming a magnet for […]
President Donald Trump jumped into the deep end of conspiratorial waters on Monday night during a friendly interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, spinning tales about “people in dark shadows” pulling Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s strings and a plane full of “thugs” in “black uniforms with gear” looking to “do big damage” at the Republican National Convention. After spending much of the first half […]

When Simon Cowell broke his back last week on what was first reported to be an “e-bike,” the news tore through not just the entertainment world but the booming e-bike industry. Turns out, Cowell wasn’t on an e-bike but an e-motorcycle. That’s an important distinction, because the “bike” Cowell was riding can hit top speeds of 60 miles per hour, which makes it patently more dangerous […]

Over the last couple of years, Japanese authorities have been trying to solve the puzzle over so-called “ghost ships”, presumably of North Korean origin, that have turned up on the country’s coast. Some of them contained decomposed human remains, prompting local officers and media speculate about origin of these mysterious phenomenon. Illegal fishing by Chinese vessels in North Korean waters may explain why hundreds of unidentified […]
The initial coin offering boom of 2017 and 2018 was the closest crypto came to mass adoption. It was a period of market and media exuberance. The Gray Lady, aka the New York Times, perhaps looking to court the new taste-makers and the hilariously wealthy, published think pieces about the crypto revolution and the leaders behind it. About 1,000 different token projects raised over $22 billion […]
Tempers frayed in the pit lane at the Xfinity Series in Kentucky on Friday as drivers Harrison Burton and Noah Gragson traded blows in a fierce bust-up after their cars collided on the track minutes before. With just 13 of 200 laps remaining in the race, Gragson’s No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet clipped the back of Burton’s No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, causing both cars to graze […]

Prior to the 20th century, astronomers believed that the dark spots on the visible side of the moon were dried up seas and oceans. The scientists assumed that the far side of Earth’s natural satellite was covered with the same traces, but in the end, both assumptions turned out to be wrong. Scientists from the Earth‐Life Science Institute at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, the University […]
Matthew Rhys is on a roll. It’s very charming. The Welsh accent is lilting along, as if ricocheting off the hills and dales of Wye Valley, as he stammers, jokes, and tells vivid stories about his time shooting HBO’s new reboot/prequel/reimagination, however you want to describe it, of Perry Mason. But he abruptly stops himself mid-thought, a fast-talker slamming the brakes so hard it almost sends […]
While we cannot conceive of the sky without the numerous stars that light up the heavens, back in the Universe’s infancy, it contained no stars at all. That obscure period holds many secrets which science seeks to gain an insight into, in a bid to learn more about today’s Universe. An international team of scientists is seeking to detect, measure and study a signal from the […]
