Scientists push new paradigm of animal consciousness, saying even insects may be sentient
Far more animals than previously thought likely have consciousness, top scientists say in a new declaration — including fish, lobsters and octopus.
I love to hear him talk. It reminds me of things from long long ago.
The shame of it is they aren't considered to be the brighter minds.
The Mysterious ‘Dark’ Energy That Permeates the Universe Is Slowly Eroding
Physicists call the dark energy that drives the universe “the cosmological constant.” Now the largest map of the cosmos to date hints that this mysterious energy has been changing over billions of years.
I am becoming a bit fascinated with the therapeutic potential of the GLP-1 agonist medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc;...) against a variety of diseases. Research indicates potential in treatment of not just type II diabetes, obesity, and heart disease and heart failure (lesser known approved uses) but also a host of other diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to Crohn's and ulcerative colitis and others (like fatty liver).
The early science is there and growing and we can establish a link scientifically with all these disease processes and more, so this is not snake oil cure-all stuff.
Scientists Discover 27,500 Asteroids in Old Telescope Images Using A.I.
While most of the team’s new finds are located in the main asteroid belt, about 100 are near-Earth asteroids that pass close to our planet’s orbit

Euclid space telescope reveals more than 300,000 new objects in 1st 24 hours of observations (photos)
The Euclid space telescope has released five mesmerizing new photos of our universe, kicking off a six-year campaign to unveil the secrets of dark matter, dark energy and other cosmological mysteries.

Several new telescopes have or will soon come online that will expand our knowledge of the universe immensely.
This is interesting.
22,000-year-old artifacts could rewrite ancient human history in North America
The guy is an "independent geologist," meaning not affiliated with any university. He considers the peer review publication process to be "archaic," but is happy for people to look at his findings and prove him wrong.
With that said, if stone tool workers were in what is now Maryland 21,000 years ago, that pushes human arrival in America back a bit. You cannot date a stone tool, just the sediments around the stone tool, thus, these tools have to be found in situ to be dated.

There seems to be growing amount of evidence human were here earlier than previously thought.
Webb telescope finds most distant galaxy ever observed, again
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy, a remarkably bright star system that existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Thursday.Not only does the new finding comfortably beat the previous record...
Webb keeps on surprising.
One of the things I love about astronomy is the fact that it is a "pure" science. Pure in the sense of we can only observe from one point in space and one point in time and attempt to understand what is happening out there. We cannot interact with the observed phenomenon (other than at the subatomic particle level under the assumption that subatomic particples here display attributes that apply out there).
I love the ingenuity of astronomers and finding way around those limitations.
