The panel said there is no evidence that the works, which are held in the collection of Bremen Kunsthalle, were lost as a result of Nazi persecutionGermany’s advisory panel on Nazi-looted art has rejected a claim by the heirs of George Grosz for two of his paintings held in the collection of the Bremen Kunsthalle, saying there is no evidence to support the claimants’ view that they were lost as a result of persecution. The panel said there is no doubt that although Grosz was not Jewish, he “suffered individual persecution under the National Socialists due to his political...

Communication with the craft was interrupted, but Voyager 1 itself found an unorthodox solution. Voyager 1 has gone through a lot over the last 12 months. Image credit: NASA Voyager 1 continues to amaze. After 47 years, having crossed together with its twin into interstellar space, you’d think the spacecraft would stop surprising us. No chance. The probe had another glitch in the last few weeks that caused a loss of communication, but it managed to find a fix all by itself using hardware that had not been used since 1981. The probe is more than 24 billion kilometers (15...

MONROE, CONNECTICUT – The world’s most famous paranormal-investigating couple left behind a museum full of real-life “haunted” relics they collected in their adventures – including the creepy doll that inspired the horror movie “Annabelle.” Late husband-and-wife couple Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are now immortalized as characters in “The Conjuring” series of movies, kept an occult museum on their property that is no longer open to the public. But those lucky enough – or unlucky enough – to get a look inside are surrounded by occult items like haunted fragments of crashed Eastern Airlines Flight 401, an organ that plays...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touted First Gentleman Doug Emhoff as the ideal representation of masculinity at a Las Vegas campaign event for his wife Kamala Harris on Wednesday. “He’s not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told a room full of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Daily Mail. “And he embodies that really well. We should all be really, really proud of him.” The “squad” member praised Emhoff’s example of masculinity less than a week after a...

The medieval Catholic Church created the feast of All Saints Nov. 1 to honor the blessed people who could not be included in the church’s formal list of saints. In England, the word “hallow” was used to mean the sacred, and thus there the day was All Hallows’ Day. But also of great importance was the day before it, Oct. 31, which was a traditional pagan harvest feast day. Trying to counter pagan beliefs, the English Catholic Church called this day All Hallows’ Eve, which then became Halloween. The new Christian day took over the pagan harvest festival, and the...

In 1945, Hitler continued to deny the apparent defeat that awaited him. In a final insane attempt to turn the tide of the war and make up for the lack of soldiers old enough to go into battle, he recruited massively from among the Hitler Youth, enlisting children as young as 12 years old. These little soldiers were sent to fight battles that they had no hope of winning. Nonetheless, as a rule, they fought zealously. As the Allied troops advanced, they were shocked to discover that there were also children among the countless German prisoners. Around 10 000 of...

An antibiotic developed some 80 years ago before being abandoned and forgotten could again offer exciting new solutions, this time to the emerging threat of drug-resistant superbugs. Half of the bacteria-killing drugs we use today are variations of compounds that were found nearly a century ago, during the 'golden age' of antibiotics. One called streptothricin was isolated in the 1940s, drawing attention for its potential in treating infections caused by what are known as gram-negative bacteria. Unlike gram-positive bacteria, these microbes lack a robust cell wall that many antibiotics target. Finding alternatives has been one of the big challenges for...

Little did the comet know that calamity was about to strike minutes after this snapshot was taken. Image credit: NASA/ESA/SOHO Many across the world have witnessed the spectacle of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. Some of us, due to constant clouds, were not so lucky.

It was expected to get as bright as Venus by Halloween, but the Sun is a cruel mistress, making these objects bright but also capable of destroying them. That was the fate of this comet. It passed at its closest point by Earth...

The discovery suggests that the city was important as more than just a maritime trade centre.The inscription praises...
