Thonis  Heracleion the Lost City: In 1987 maritime archeologist Franck Goddio founded the Institut Européen d’Archéologie Sous-Marine (The European Institute of Underwater Archaeology) in order to concentrate solely on underwater excavations. He has found several important shipwrecks including the San Diego found in the waters of the Philippines and Napoleon Bonaparte’s flagship during his campaign in Egypt, the Orient. His most important excavation to date is the discovery of the ancient sunken port city of Thonis Heracleion and parts of the city of Canopus in the Bay of Aboukir near Alexandria, Egypt. Partnered with the Egyptian Ministry for Antiquities, Goddio and his team…

The location of the first two black holes discovered by ESA’s Gaia mission in the Milky Way. This map of our galaxy was also made by the Gaia mission. Gaia Black Hole 1 is located just 1560 light-years away from us in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus and Gaia Black Hole 2 is 3800 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. In galactic terms, these black holes reside in our cosmic backyard. Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC; CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO ESA’s Gaia mission has helped discover a new kind of black hole. The new family already has two members, and both are closer…

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the best teams in the NBA this year, and they’ll finish the year with the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. They have definitely been competitive under the leadership of Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox. Though they have finally broken their playoff drought as a top-tier seed, a lot of people aren’t sold on the Kings. Many believe that lower-seeded veteran teams should aim to face them. Klay Thompson has recently stated that he wants to face the Kings in the playoffs, but his reasons were a little different than people would expect. The shooting guard…

The Aztecs ritually sacrificed people to appease their gods. They displayed the heads of their dead on enormous, cylindrical racks called tzompantli, constructed using rows of skulls mortared together. The Aztecs used these towers to show off their empire’s might to enemies and invaders. Last week, Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) announced that researchers had discovered a section of one such tower under the ruins of Mexico City’s Templo Mayor. It contained 119 skulls from men, women, and children. Archaeologists first discovered this tower, called Huei Tzompantli, five years ago. The skulls date back more than 500 years.…

A rare and bizarre cosmic event involving three massive black holes has led to the discovery of an unprecedented phenomenon: a supermassive black hole moving at incredible speeds, leaving a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars in its wake. Captured accidentally by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, this extraordinary contrail of star formation is the result of the black hole barreling through intergalactic space and triggering new star formation as it impacts gas ahead of it. The event, described as a game of galactic billiards, is likely the outcome of multiple collisions among supermassive black holes, leaving astronomers eager to investigate further…

There were quite a few first-time All-Stars in 2023, with some new faces really stepping up to the plate this season. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Lauri Markkanen were two who made it in for the first time this year and quite deservingly so. They have been so good, that when NBA fans on Twitter were asked to play a game of “1 gotta go” with them and Karl-Anthony Towns and Julius Randle, they were quite split on the matter. A fan felt it was Towns by a wide margin for this season as he hasn’t played much, unlike the other three. A fan felt…

The remains of a man and woman who were buried with sheets of gold foil for their tongues have been found outside Cairo, Egypt. The bodies, which were found side by side but in separate graves, were buried in limestone sarcophagi dating back 2500 years. The man’s remains are well preserved and sealed in his tomb, containing various artifacts such as jars in which his previously removed organs were stored, a scarab and tomb figurines made of china. But the woman’s remains are not in good condition and there are indications that her tomb was opened by tomb robbers. Gold…

Starting the season 2-10 and finishing with a winning record is not something that happens too often, but the 2022-23 Los Angeles Lakers have managed to do just that. A win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night meant the Lakers improved to 42-39 and they have now become the first team in nearly two decades to finish with a winning record, after starting 2-10 or worse. “The Lakers this season became the first team since the Nets and Bulls in 2004-05 to start off 2-10 or worse and finish with a winning record according to @ESPNStatsInfo.” The New Jersey Nets would…

The Los Angeles Lakers have a long and illustrious standing in NBA history. They are one of two NBA franchises with 17 championships and have a long line of legendary players who have walked through their doors to deliver those championships. Much like every NBA team does, the Lakers are always seeking opportunities to make themselves better in pursuit of an NBA championship. Many times, the Lakers have had to gamble on trades that could swing the direction of the franchise for better or for worse. Although sometimes, these deals backfired, many times they didn’t and have resulted in success…

Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope show that the planet has a sweltering dayside temperature of some 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius) Trappist-1 is an intriguing system that consists of a red dwarf star tightly orbited by at least seven rocky exoplanets. New research, made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope, shows that the innermost planet, TRAPPIST-1 b, is likely too hot to host any atmosphere at all.NASA/JPL-Caltech The TRAPPIST-1 star system, located some 40 light-years away, hosts at least seven Earth-like exoplanets.

Michael Jordan and LeBron James will always be compared, which is now set in stone. With a lot of modern NBA fans believing James to be the greatest of all time, and Michael Jordan generally holding that title, the debate has only gotten heated. But in 2017, his former teammates spoke about how Jordan would have handled the modern NBA, with Will Perdue naming the main difference between him and LeBron. “You see LeBron say: ‘I’m playing hard, I averaged a triple-double, I’ll sleep well tonight,'” Perdue told Bleacher Report. “I don’t think you would ever hear those words come out…

Kevin Durant is one of the greatest players we have ever seen, and he is in the midst of another outstanding season. He has been so great, that Kyle Kuzma believes Durant is having one of the greatest seasons he has ever seen. “KD is having one of the greatest seasons I’ve ever seen,” Kuzma said. Durant is averaging 29.1 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 5.0 APG, 0.7 SPG, and 1.4 BPG this season while being extremely efficient. He is shooting 56.0% from the field, 40.4% from beyond the arc, and 91.9% from the line. As StatMuse points out, no one has ever had…

The brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen in 2022 still puzzles astronomers. The more researchers look at a recent record-setting event, the stranger it gets. The story begins on the evening of October 9th, 2022, when NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift orbiting observatory detected a strong X-ray outburst. The source was in the direction of the constellation of Sagitta the Arrow along the galactic plane, suggesting a source in our own Milky Way galaxy. Follow-up observations from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope and the Earth-based European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope however, soon revealed that the source was much more distant, emanating…

There is no denying that over the last two decades, NBA players have ushered in the era of the superteam. Most fans and media members can look back to the 2008 Boston Celtics and their acquisitions of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett as the first example of this. A few seasons later, LeBron James and Chris Bosh decided to join Dwyane Wade in Miami with the Heat. Just a few seasons after Miami disbanded, the Warriors went 73-9, then added one of the best players in the world after losing in the NBA Finals. All three of those teams are…
