UN Mideast mediator in Cairo after Israel-Gaza escalation Egyptian officials say UN Mideast envoy has arrived in Cairo after the worst escalation between Israel and Gaza militants in recent months.

The latest bout of violence started after a pre-dawn Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed a senior Islamic jihad commander on Tuesday. The militants in Gaza responded with barrages of rockets fired into Israel. UN Mide...

Oxford students revolt after ‘woke’ provost tries to abolish traditional Grace before dinner in lost battle for inclusivity Students at Worcester College, Oxford have rallied against tradition-bucking policies being pushed through by their provost, who wants to end the centuries-old customs of standing for dons and saying a Latin Grace before meals.

Mysterious process changing oxygen levels on Mars but NASA can’t explain it… yet

Uncategorized

Mysterious process changing oxygen levels on Mars but NASA can’t explain it… yet NASA scientists, already grappling with the inexplicable mystery of rising and falling methane levels on Mars, have noticed that some unknown phenomenon is creating and removing oxygen in the planet’s atmosphere. NASA’s Curiosity Rover has been traversing the Gale Crater and up the foot of Mount Sharp for the past three Martian years (six Earth years), and has been sending back some truly baffling atmospheric readings. In contrast to the Earth’s atmosphere, which is roughly 78.09 percent nitrogen and 20.95 oxygen, roughly 95 percent of the Red Planet's thin atmosphere is CO2, with 2.6 percent Nitrogen, 1.9 percent Argon and 0.16 percent oxygen making up the remainder. ...
