For the first time, astronomers have picked up a radio signal from the mysterious interstellar visitor as it speeds through our Solar System. South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope detected absorption lines from OH molecules...Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who has been studying 3I/ATLAS since the summer, said: 'These molecules leave a distinct radio signature that telescopes like MeerKAT can pick up.'... Optical images captured on November 9 reveal that 3I/ATLAS is ejecting enormous jets of material both toward and away from the sun. The jets stretch nearly 600,000 miles sunward and almost 1.8 million miles in the opposite direction, roughly the...

If anyone is a master at telling monster stories, it’s Guillermo del Toro.For years, he has wanted to tell his version of “Frankenstein,” and now his imagining of the classic Mary Shelley novel has finally arrived on Netflix.In true del Toro style, however, his creature is not a monster, but one filled with emotion and humanity. And that vision was something prosthetics artist Mike Hill kept in mind when creating his designs for del Toro’s film. “We wanted to stay away from classical zombies or anything like that,” Hill tells Variety.

Tens of thousands of trees in the heart of the Amazon rainforest have been wiped out to prepare for a global summit on saving the environment. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump slammed the creation of a multi-lane highway that tore straight through the ancient rainforest for this month’s COP30 climate summit. Approximately 100,000 trees across eight miles have been removed to ferry 50,000 world leaders, climate change activists, journalists, and other high-profile guests to the conference in Belém, Brazil. “They ripped the hell out of the Rainforest of Brazil to build a four-lane highway for Environmentalists to travel. It’s...

Being neither a religion nor an ideology, the body of opinion termed conservatism possesses no Holy Writ and no Das Kapital to provide dogmata. So far as it is possible to determine what conservatives believe, the first principles of the conservative persuasion are derived from what leading conservative writers and public men have professed during the past two centuries. After some introductory remarks on this general theme, I will proceed to list ten such conservative principles. Perhaps it would be well, most of the time, to use this word “conservative” as an adjective chiefly. For there exists no Model Conservative,...

In an interview with UnHerd, he said the US should not only stop illegal immigration, but legal immigration too. His reason was the same as many Americans right now — young people, including his own friends, are struggling to find work. Despite being from one of the most prominent Indian-origin families in US politics, Nalin took a hard line on immigration, including immigration from India. Nalin said the US should pause all...

---SNIP--- Whenever the November Witch sweeps across the Great Lakes in autumn, mariners know to beware. Hurricane-force winds, born from collisions of lingering summer warmth and frigid Arctic air, can slam into the lakes and set loose 40-foot waves. But unlike an ocean hurricane, which builds for days or weeks, the Witch of November—made famous by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 ballad—can transform the lakes from glass to fury in just hours. To the Anishinaabe, also known as Chippewa, it isn’t a sorceress who terrorizes the largest of the Great Lakes, but a clash between Thunderbirds, wind spirits who rule...

Think Mamdami is the worst thing? No matter. If you don't have all your kids, if you practiced contraception and abortion, you're already pitching yourself headlong over the lemming cliff. I live in the area with the greatest variety of ethnic groups. Forty years ago, it was Russians. Then it was Hmongs. (What's that? See Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino".) Now the streets of Sacramento are filled with women in veils leading strings and strings of kids. It doesn't matter if you or I don't like them. Like-schmike. We don't have kids; they do. We are dinosaurs. The future is theirs....
