The James Webb Telescope (JWST) has been in space for less than a year, but a successor is already being prepared for it. The main task of the new cosmic “eye” of humanity is the search for extraterrestrial life., reports freethink.com.

The Dinka people of South Sudan are known all over the world for their height. Their homeland is sometimes referred to as the land of giants– understandably so, as on average, their men stand almost 6ft and women are not lagging much behind, either. The Dinka, also called Jieng, is a Nilotic ethnic group of around 4.5 million people who live in the savanna country surrounding the central swamps of the Nile basin primarily in South Sudan, with a sizable diaspora population abroad. The Dinka are known for their staggering height. Together with the Tutsi of Rwanda, they are believed…

The phenomenon is also called ‘mountain spectre’, since it most often occurs when the observer stands at a higher altitude on a mountain and sees their shadow cast on a cloud at a lower altitude. But a Brocken spectre can occur in any setting when the magnified (and apparently enormous) shadow of an observer is cast in mid air against any type of cloud opposite a strong light source. Additionally, if the cloud consists of water droplets backscattered, a glory resembling a saint’s halo can be seen around the shadow of the observer’s head, caused by sunlight or (more rarely)…

Imagine a society in which everybody is born equal because noone knows who is whose mom. Welcome to mongoose reality! Mongooses don’t know which offspring belong to which moms, so all pups are given equal access to food and care. This, in turn, creates a more equitable mongoose society, according to a new study published in Nature Communications. The researchers from the universities of Exeter and Roehampton found that because mothers in mongoose packs all give birth on the same night, this creates a “veil of ignorance” among them about which pups belong to which moms, Psych News Daily reported.…

A number of UFOs have been noted hovering over bodies of water and apparently lowering a tube down to the water and “sucking it up.” These so-called “thirsty UFOs” may be using water to power their craft, may simply need to replenish the on-board water supply much as a commercial jetliner, or, it has been speculated, may be taking water to UFO bases on the Moon. On July 25, 1952 in Vico, Italy, a man who was fishing in the Serchio River saw a disk hovering for 10 min. From it hung a hose that plunged into the water. The…

Military news site Task & Purpose confirmed a disturbing fact: the newly created U.S. Space Force has no intention of fighting aliens. Despite the recent uptick of military UFO sightings, the Pentagon appears uninterested (at least officially) in the possibility of hostile aliens.

During a recent Pentagon roundtable, Task & Purpose’s Pentagon reporter Jeff Schogol asked if the Space Force “is concerned about threats posed by extraterrestrial intelligence.” The official answer he got back? “No.” Schogol’s question was asked with tongue…

While female heroes took the spotlight in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, producer Nate Moore shared why the ratio of male to female heroes turned out so one-sided in the story. Black Panther 2 concluded the MCU’s Phase 4 storyline in grand fashion, becoming the third-highest-grossing movie in the Phase while earning overwhelmingly positive reviews across the board. It also set a unique record by becoming the highest-grossing female-led superhero movie in history domestically, only trailing Captain Marvel worldwide. Not only was Black Panther 2 driven by female heroes like Shuri, Okoye, and Ramonda, but the only male heroes to get similar screentime were M’Baku and Namor the Submariner, as the story centered around women…
