Three Forgotten Assyrian Kings Found Hidden in 3,000-Year-Old Cuneiform Tablets
A new study co-authored by Yale Assyriologist Eckart Frahm has identified three ephemeral rulers — Ashur-uballit, Tiglath-pileser, and Shalmaneser — missing from the Assyrian King List, reshaping what scholars know about the early tenth century BCE.
Why Cheap Saffron Chemically Ruins Paella — and What Authentic Does
Authentic saffron contains a triad of compounds — crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal — that cheap substitutes cannot replicate, and their absence collapses the interlocking chemical reactions that make a proper paella's flavor, aroma, and crust possible.
Euclid Found the 2 Oldest Quasars Ever — Each Brighter Than a Trillion Suns
The Euclid space telescope has identified the two most ancient quasars ever observed, both blazing with the energy of a trillion suns just 670 million years after the Big Bang — deepening the mystery of how supermassive black holes grew so massive so fast.
Japan’s Hayabusa2 Flew Within 800 Meters of Asteroid to Practice Defense
Japan's veteran Hayabusa2 probe completed a razor-close flyby of asteroid Torifune on July 5, 2026, giving JAXA hands-on data for planetary defense — making Japan only the second space agency after NASA to conduct real hardware-in-space deflection preparation.
JAXA’s Hayabusa2 Skimmed Asteroid Torifune at 800m to Test Deflection
Japan's fridge-sized Hayabusa2 probe skimmed to within 800 metres of near-Earth asteroid Torifune in one of the closest asteroid flybys ever attempted, collecting physical data JAXA says is essential for turning theoretical deflection models into operational planetary defence plans.
Hubble Photographed 500,000 Stars in One Cluster — All Red, White, and Blue
NASA released a stunning new Hubble Space Telescope image of Messier 3, a globular cluster containing more than 500,000 ancient stars whose real colors — red, white, and blue — reflect genuine differences in stellar temperature and age.Load More
