A new wave of research has revived one of history's greatest mysteries: the story of Atlantis.
'
Filmmaker and archaeologist Michael Donnellan claims that evidence preserved by Egypt's ancient priests of Sais points to an advanced civilization that once thrived in Atlantis, before vanishing some 11,600 years ago.

Donnellan told the Daily Mail that the priests described Atlantis as the homeland of their ancestors, a civilization that existed outside the Mediterranean world and 'beyond the Pillars of Heracles.'

He said their account was passed down to the Greek lawmaker Solon, who visited Egypt around 600 BC and recorded the tale that would later inspire the philosopher Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias.

Comment: Dario AS adds:
The archaeologist states that, after eight years of work using sonar and LiDAR scanners, he has identified three submerged concentric walls carved into the seabed. According to Donnellan, the dimensions and layout match the city described by Plato in the dialogues Timaeus and Critias.

Donnellan also claims to have found a rectangular monument at the center, which he links to the Temple of Poseidon. The site includes sculpted canals, collapsed walls, and perfectly cut stone blocks, suggesting a large-scale artificial construction.

The images show his team exploring these underwater structures, where right angles, flat surfaces, and massive rectangular stones displaced from their original positions can be seen, as if a great catastrophe had thrown them.

The caretakers of the dogs that have made a home at the site of Chernobyl have spotted some canines with blue fur, a first at the disaster zone.

The group, called Dogs of Chernobyl, shared a video showing several packs of dogs with at least one completely blue.

'They were not blue last week. We do not know the reason, and we are attempting to catch them so we can find out what is happening,' the team shared in the video caption.

'Most likely, they're getting into some sort of chemical.'

The organization, an affiliate of the non-profit Clean Futures Fund, added that while the color was alarming to see, the dogs appear to be 'very active and healthy.'

On 24 Oct. 2025, while imaging comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon, we captured a meteor crossing the same field of view. Soon after, its red afterglow showed so nicely, adding its intriguing, fast evolving shape to the scene.

During the imaging session of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon on the evening of October 24, I had the good fortune to witness a truly fascinating phenomenon — one that, by sheer chance, I was able to capture.

Between 17:39:30 and 17:41:30 UT, a meteor passed right through the region of the sky where Lemmon was visible.

At that moment, a sequence of wide-field images was being acquired using the astrograph that is part of the Virtual Telescope Project instrumentation, installed in Manciano (Grosseto), in the beautiful Maremma region. In the frame taken between 17:43:33 and 17:45:33 UT, the persistent trail left by the meteor is clearly visible, with a distinct reddish hue. The faint, fan-like structure is likely due to some light which reached the imaging device while capturing the picture.

A trio of photographers in New Zealand have captured images of "red sprites", or red lightning, one of the rarest light phenomena in the world, in which luminous crimson flashes appear in the sky.

New Zealand photographer Tom Rae and Spanish photographers Dan Zafra and José Cantabrana set out to shoot the Milky Way over the Ōmārama Clay cliffs in the South Island on 11 October, when they chanced upon the extraordinary event.

The photographers thought they would be lucky to get clear skies that evening, but their night turned into "an unforgettable one", Rae told the Guardian.

Long before starlight filled the cosmos for the first time, the young universe may have been simmering, according to a new study.

The findings suggest that about 800 million years after the Big Bang, energy from newborn black holes and the fading embers of the first stars was already warming vast clouds of intergalactic hydrogen gas, offering a rare glimpse into a largely uncharted chapter of the universe's youth.

Astronomers know that the universe began in an extremely hot, dense state, the Big Bang, about 13.8 billion years ago, and then cooled rapidly as it expanded. Roughly 400,000 years later, temperatures dropped enough for protons and electrons to merge into neutral hydrogen atoms, and the cosmos slipped into the "cosmic dark ages" — a long, lightless stretch when space was veiled by a dense fog of hydrogen gas.

TV, AC electricity, the Tesla Coil, fluorescent lighting, neon lights, Radio controlled devices, robotics, X-rays, radar, microwave and dozens of other amazing inventions were invented by one of the most incredible geniuses to have lived on Earth, Nikola Tesla.

His inventions had no limits, his imagination did neither. He was cataloged by many as a 'mad scientist' but he was more than that. Today we can say that Nikola Tesla is without a doubt, the father of modern technology.

Among his non-conventional inventions, we can add two that are super-duper advanced: Antigravity technology and Tesla's UFO, or rather IFO.

Tesla had a great interest in Flight, pace and specifically Antigravity, in this article we bring you everything you need to know about Tesla's Antigravity technology.

A portal is considered a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown. But portals, as we know them, are only present in sci-fi movies...right? Well, according to scientists it turns out that portals actually exist, and not only that, NASA-funded researchers at the University of Iowa to figure out what was going on.

Jack Scudder of the University of Iowa, explains:
"We call them X-points or electron diffusion regions. They're places where the magnetic field of Earth connects to the magnetic field of the Sun, creating an uninterrupted path leading from our own planet to the sun's atmosphere 93 million miles away."
It's a shortcut worthy of the best portals of fiction, only this time the portals are real. And with the new "signposts" we know how to find them.

Scientists have uncovered a "hidden order" in drylands across the planet, where plants follow disordered hyperuniformity — a layout that looks random and disorganized up close but adheres to a clear pattern when viewed from farther away.

The findings explain phenomena like "tiger bush" in West Africa, where bands of plants look like tiger stripes from above, or "fairy circles" in Namibia that look like spots from far away but are actually clumps of plants. These plants are self-organized in a way that helps them cope with drought and function in extreme conditions.

"It was a genuine surprise," study co-author Quan-Xing Liu, a mathematician at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China, told Live Science in an email. "We expected to find either a completely random distribution or a regular, clumped pattern... instead, we uncovered a perfect disordered hyperuniform pattern — a form of hidden order no one had recognized before in plant communities."

© Ana Maria Groot/Universidad Nacional de ColumbiaThe skeletons of two hunter-gatherer individuals excavated at the Checua archaeological site (Bogotá Altiplano) were found to have no relationship to current Columbian indigenous groups.
Archaeologists have uncovered 6,000-year-old skeletons in Colombia that belonged to a mysterious group of people that could rewrite human history.

The remains, discovered at the ancient preceramic site of Checua near Bogotá, were of hunter-gatherers whose DNA does not match that of any known Indigenous population in the region today.

Instead, their genetic signature reveals a distinct and now-extinct lineage that may have descended from the earliest humans to reach South America, one that diverged early and remained genetically isolated for thousands of years.

By analyzing ancient DNA from 21 individuals who lived in the Bogotá Altiplano between 6,000 and 500 years ago, researchers reconstructed a rare genetic timeline spanning nearly six millennia.

The Discovery:

Researchers have discovered a young protoplanet called WISPIT 2b embedded in a ring-shaped gap in a disk encircling a young star. While theorists have thought that planets likely exist in these gaps (and possibly even create them), this is the first time that it has actually been observed.

Key Takeaway:

Researchers have directly detected - essentially photographed - a new planet called WISPIT 2b, labeled a protoplanet because it is an astronomical object that is accumulating material and growing into a fully-realized planet. However, even in its "proto" state, WISPIT 2b is a gas giant about 5 times as massive as Jupiter. This massive protoplanet is just about 5 million years old, or almost 1,000 times younger than the Earth, and about 437 light-years from Earth.
