@PeterDClack But they are telling us all the time, that Africa is suffering from climate change and therefore Europa has to accept the migrants from that continent. Are they lying?

What a counterintuitive twist in the climate story.
The Sahara Desert of all places has shrunk by about 8% since the 1980s thanks to rising CO₂ levels fueling a remarkable global green renaissance.
Data from NASA’s AVHRR and MODIS instruments show that 25% to 50% of Earth's vegetated lands have become significantly greener, an area equivalent to roughly twice the continental United States.
CO₂ fertilization drove around 70% of this boom, making plants more efficient with water by reducing the time stomata (leaf pores) stay open, which in turn cuts water loss and boosts drought resistance.
This has allowed vegetation to reclaim arid edges in places like the Sahel (the Sahara's southern fringe), the Middle East and Australia's outback. The Sahara alone had lost around 8% of its desert, equivalent to over 700,000 km² of added green cover and pushing back the barren sand wastes in formerly inhospitable zones.
Atmospheric CO₂ now hovers around 430 ppm (early 2026 levels) enabling plants to thrive where they once couldn't. While climate change brings serious challenges, this greening shows a clear, measurable benefit from higher CO₂: and a greener, more resilient planet in many dry regions.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Astronomers and planetary scientists have found strong evidence that a significant fraction of Earth’s water predates the formation of the Sun. By comparing hydrogen isotope ratios—specifically deuterium to hydrogen—in Earth’s oceans, meteorites, and comets with those measured in interstellar ice, researchers found a close match. These ratios act as chemical fingerprints, indicating that water molecules formed in extremely cold molecular clouds before the solar system existed.Models show that such water could survive the violent collapse of the solar nebula, becoming incorporated into dust grains that later formed planets. This means Earth did not generate its water solely through internal processes or late comet impacts; instead, it inherited ancient water forged in deep space. The implication is profound: water is a common, resilient molecule that can persist through star and planet formation.Scientifically, this strengthens the idea that habitable conditions may arise wherever planets form, because one of life’s key ingredients can be delivered already assembled from the interstellar medium.

This iconic photograph, taken by David E. Scherman, shows American war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller bathing in Adolf Hitler's private apartment in Munich on April 30, 1945...
War Photographer Lee Miller bathing in Hitler's bathtub in Munich, April 30, 1945. The dust on the bathmat is from Miller's boots, she'd spent the day photographing the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau.
This was photographed the day after he took his own life...
On April 30 1945, American war correspondent Lee Miller, fresh from photographing the horrors at Dachau and Buchenwald, slipped into Adolf’s bathtub in his private Munich apartment. The photo by David Scherman was carefully staged and dense with symbolism. She left her mud-caked boots on the pristine bathmat next to a framed portrait of the Führer that she placed intentionally. She positioned the uniform jacket on a chair in shot. Each detail spoke volumes.
A celebrated Vogue model and Paris surrealist muse, Miller transformed herself into one of the most ardent eye-witnesses of war atrocities. Her images from liberated camps reshaped public awareness of the Holocaust and cemented her reputation as a fearless documentarian.
That day Miller moved beyond photojournalism into symbolic resistance. Her bath became an enduring image of victory over tyranny.

@ScienceMagazine This same ability is totally absent in registered Democrats, according to the researchers.

The ability of humans to think rationally and weigh the evidence when making a choice is well known. However, tests of this ability in other species are lacking.
In a recent Science study, researchers report that chimpanzees can also update their beliefs on the basis of the quantity and quality of new evidence.

@Stephen1487776 @histories_arch You think a clay star chart proves they "understood" the cosmos? If you stand on the planet and look up, why should it be obvious whether the sun is moving or we are? How would that affect their ability to record the movements in the heavens. Things you will never understand♾️

@histories_arch I will nwver understand how we went from under stand how we went fom understanding the cosmos thousands of years ago to thinking the sun recolved around the earth just a few hundred years ago.

For over 150 years, scholars have studied a mysterious cuneiform tablet discovered in the hidden library of King Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, Iraq. Initially thought to date to the Assyrian period around 650 BC, modern computer analysis has traced its origins back to 3300 BC, confirming it as a Sumerian creation. This revelation makes it one of the oldest surviving records of human observation of the heavens.
The tablet functions as an ancient astrolabe, featuring a segmented circular design with angular measurements etched along its edges. Researchers believe it may have been used to track celestial events, including early observations of the Köfel impact event. Its precise markings demonstrate advanced understanding of astronomy in early Mesopotamia and reflect the sophistication of Sumerian science.
As both a star map and an instrument, the tablet provides an extraordinary window into early human curiosity about the cosmos. It highlights how ancient civilizations systematically recorded celestial phenomena, bridging the gap between mythology, observation, and science. This artifact remains a testament to the ingenuity and intellectual achievements of Sumerian culture.

@konstructivizm So if it was blown apart what gravity pulled it back together. Sound like bollocks.

Miranda doesn’t look like a moon.
It looks like a warning.When Voyager 2 slipped past Uranus in January 1986 and turned its cameras toward the innermost of the five major moons, the probe sent back something no one was ready for: a small, icy sphere only 470 km across that had clearly been blown to pieces and then clumsily stitched back together by gravity’s indifferent hands.There are three distinct terranes on Miranda, each so different they seem stolen from separate worlds. The ancient, crater-pocked highlands, scarred by billions of years of silence.
Rolling, lightly cratered coronae (Inverness, Arden, Elsinore) that look like gigantic scar-tissue racetracks, ridged and grooved as if something enormous once squeezed the moon in its fist.
And then Verona Rupes: a sheer escarpment that drops twenty kilometers straight down, twice the height of Mount Everest, taller than any cliff on Earth, Mars, or Venus. If you fell from the top, it would take almost ten minutes to reach the bottom, drifting in Miranda’s whisper-thin gravity like a snowflake in slow motion.
Scientists on Earth stared at the images and reached for the only word that fit for a corpse sewn from mismatched parts: Frankenstein.The leading story is apocalyptic. Long ago, a wandering body the size of a small moon smashed into Miranda with such violence that the little world shattered into a ring of rubble. Over time, gravity pulled the fragments back together, but not neatly; chunks fell in at different angles, at different speeds, freezing into a chaotic jumble the moment they touched. Some pieces carried deep heat from the impact, melting ice into subsurface oceans that later erupted, resurfacing whole provinces. Others stayed cold and dead. The result is a moon that wears its autopsy scars on the outside.No spacecraft has been back in the thirty-nine years since Voyager 2. Miranda still orbits Uranus alone, keeping its fractured face turned toward the darkness, the tallest cliff in the solar system glowing faintly in reflected turquoise light.One day a new probe will return. When it does, it will find a world that remembers the day it died, and the day it refused to stay dead.

@JoeFarmer7231 @konstructivizm Most science is lazy. If they can't measure all the matter in the universe, they say some of it must be 'dark matter'. If they can't measure all the energy, some of it must be 'dark energy'. They say whatever needs to be said to cover up gaps in human knowledge.

A re-examination of the 3I/ATLAS image taken in early October revealed a structured core and traces of industrial-grade metal, casting doubt on the natural explanation.
The further we delve into the history of 3I/ATLAS, the more the previous data begins to seem less like static and more like evidence. This is particularly evident in this 45-minute frame, taken on October 21, 2025, by AstroPhotoG using the 14-inch Dobsonian telescope, long before NASA or ESA released their own high-resolution images.
This early image contains features that we now realize are impossible to ignore. These data are alarmingly consistent with what later telescopes have confirmed.
What we once dismissed as noise now looks like the first clear fingerprint of an artificial object. A forgotten October snapshot may have shown us the real 3I/ATLAS months before the world knew what to look for.

@histories_arch Sounds like the fallen angels. They like to deceive mankind and be worshipped. It's quite alarming to see so many varied and delusional responses. Jesus Christ is the ONLY TRUTH you need.

Sumerians of Mesopotamia worshipped the Anunnaki, a group of powerful sky-connected deities they believed shaped their civilization. These gods were linked to writing, agriculture, kingship, and the order of the world, appearing throughout early texts such as Epic of Gilgamesh.
Later interpretations suggested that the Anunnaki might have been visitors from another world, pointing to ancient descriptions of heavenly beings and advanced knowledge recorded on clay tablets. These ideas focus on the possibility that early Sumerian achievements — from timekeeping to mathematics — may have been influenced by something beyond ordinary human development.
Thousands of Sumerian tablets remain untranslated, and much about their beliefs is still being uncovered, leaving room for many interpretations of who the Anunnaki were and why they held such an important place in Sumerian history.
