NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured images of ripple-like formations in an ancient Martian lakebed, providing compelling evidence that liquid water was present on Mars’ surface for longer than previously believed. The discovery, published on January 15 in Science Advances, suggests that not all of Mars’ water was trapped beneath ice, contradicting existing climate models. The wave ripples, formed in shallow, open lakes, indicate that liquid water interacted with the Martian atmosphere, reshaping our understanding of the planet’s history. Ancient Water on Mars: A Breakthrough Discovery Scientists have long debated the presence and form of water on Mars. NASA’s Mariner 9…

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has warned about an asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032. The asteroid, called 2024 YR4, is large enough to cause massive damage. Tyson’s warning comes as scientists track the asteroid, and the chance of it hitting Earth grows. The Size of the Threat Asteroid 2024 YR4 was first spotted by scientists late last year. It is huge, ranging from 130 to 300 feet across. This is about the size of a mansion. NASA now estimates the asteroid has a 2.3% chance of striking Earth on December 22, 2032. This is nearly double the odds from…
During a CNN town hall, Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly described Donald Trump as “unstable” and “unfit to serve,” making it clear that her message leading into the final weeks of the 2024 presidential race is centered on warning voters about the dangers of a second Trump presidency.

After missing last year’s BRICS Summit in South Africa due to an international arrest warrant issued against him, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to make a notable comeback by hosting this year’s summit, starting Tuesday, in the Russian city of Kazan. While many see the summit as an opportunity for Putin to bolster his tarnished global image—damaged significantly by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—his ambitions extend far beyond image management. According to the British publication The Economist, Putin plans to use the summit of the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) to push for a decisive blow against…
