The fact that the universe is not locally real is one of the more disquieting discoveries of the last half-century. “Real,” which indicates that objects have defined attributes independent of observation—for example, an apple can be red even when no one is looking; “local,” which means that objects can only be impacted by their surroundings,…

A century after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomЬ, archaeologists are still unearthing more artifacts — and controversies.

But archaeologists remained convinced that more remained undiscovered.     Crates are brought oᴜt of King Tut’s…

According to Australian astronomers, a weird spinning object in the Milky Way has been identified that is unlike anything astronomers have ever seen. The object, which was first discovered by a university student working on his undergraduate thesis, emits a massive burst of radio waves three times each hour. The pulse occurs every 18.18 minutes,…

Welcome back to The Daily Aviation for a feature on the workhorse aircraft that has been in service with the US Air Force since 1954. The B-52H has undergone numerous upgrades and is expected to fly for at least the next two decades.   The B-52 Stratofortress is arguably one of the most iconic flying…

The Boeing B-52 Radar Modernization Program (RMP) successfully completed the preliminary design review (PDR) on-schedule, moving planned enhancements to the B-52 closer to completion. The successful review is another step forward as the U.S. Air Force works to keep the B-52 relevant for missions until 2050 and beyond. RMP features a new, wide-band radome on…

Interesting, and good to know that old planes can be reused, improved, maintained. You do not mention whether engines are improved. And also, “maintenance-friendly” if that is the case is enormously cost-effective – but only if the design is done with maintenance in mind.   I worked on those old B-52H model aircraft at my…

Along the ѕһoгeѕ of Israel’s Mediterranean coast, in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon, archaeologist Ross Voss made a ɡгᴜeѕome find. While exploring one of the city’s sewers, he discovered a large number of small bones. Initially, the bones were believed to be chicken bones. However, it was later discovered that the bones were actually human…

During totality, the eclipsed Moon takes on red or orange hues. Each eclipse is a little different; this stunning photo was captured from El Sauce Observatory in Chile in May 2022 using a 61-megapixel QHY600 camera and Skywatcher 3-inch (80 millimeters) telescope. Matt Dieterich We can probably classify an eclipse of the Moon as the…

Astronomers now routinely discover planets orbiting stars outside of the solar system— they’re called exoplanets. But in summer 2022, teams working on NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite found a few particularly interesting planets orbiting in the habitable zones of their parent stars. One planet is 30 percent larger than Earth and orbits its star in…

About 150 human skulls thought to have been used as altars were found in a cave in Chiapas, Mexico. Local police thought they had ѕtᴜmЬɩed upon a modern сгіme ѕсeпe when they first surveyed the area in 2012. Now it is clear that these victims did not Ԁiҽ recently; The skulls are pre-Hispanic, dated to…
