❓WHAT HAPPENED: An interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, has picked up speed unexpectedly as it moves away from the sun and closer to Earth, defying gravitational predictions. 👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: NASA scientists, Harvard physicist Avi Loeb, and astronomers tracking the object. 📍WHEN & WHERE: The object reached perihelion on October 29, 2025, and is now six weeks away from its closest approach to Earth. 💬KEY QUOTE: “If 3I/ATLAS is not enshrouded in a much more massive gas cloud after perihelion than it had in the months preceding perihelion, then its recent non-gravitational acceleration must have resulted from a different cause than cometary...

Where’s the beef? The better question may be what’s in the beef. What’s believed to be the world’s oldest McDonald’s Quarter Pounder is about to celebrate a milestone birthday. Casey Dean and Eduards Nits purchased the Quarter Pounder — since dubbed the “Senior Burger” by its keepers — from a Golden Arches location in Australia back in 1995, and this November, the old burger turns 30. Dean and Nits have kept the Senior Burger carefully wrapped in its original, McD’s-stamped beige paper packaging all this time — though it looks like it hasn’t aged a day. Despite having never been...

In doing so, the team has revived an ancient Bulgarian fermentation methodThere was a not-so-secret ingredient in the ice cream sandwiches, creamy cheese and milk-wash cocktails being served at Alchemist, a two Michelin-star restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, in recent years: ants. The team's experiments began with an accidental discovery, reports CNN’s Amarachi Orie. They left milk with an ant in it inside their refrigerator, and noticed the milk soon started to curdle. From there, the restaurant, which aims to “transform and transcend the nature of food and dining,” recreated a nearly forgotten ancient Turkish and Bulgarian recipe for making yogurt...

Officials have said the prospects of EU environment ministers agreeing ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions by 2040 will go down to the wire when they gather for an emergency meeting in Brussels. Member states have been tasked with agreeing on a 2040 target at today’s meeting so that they could in turn agree on an interim target for 2035, which the EU would then bring to the United Nations COP30 summit in Brazil on Thursday. However, officials have said securing an agreement will be “challenging”. The European Commission had proposed a target of cutting carbon emissions by 90% by...

Embattled BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and her wife have dissolved their consulting business and sold their joint LA home, while she’s dropped her spouse’s name, The Post can reveal. Details about the personal moves surfaced as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation that Cullors helped found is reportedly in the crosshairs of the Department of Justice for possibly defrauding its donors out of tens of millions of dollars during the country’s 2020 racial-justice protests.

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

The octopus stinkhorn, also known as devil's fingers, is a type of fungus that grows from egg-like spores Surely one of the weirdest fungi in the British Isles, or indeed anywhere in Europe, is the octopus stinkhorn, otherwise known as devil’s fingers. It’s actually a southern hemisphere species, originally native to New Zealand and Australia – the leading theory is that its microscopic, dust-like spores hitched a lift to Europe in shipments of wool, timber and other natural products. Though it is still rare in its adopted range, sightings of the stinkhorn are now increasing in England, for reasons that...

Warmer waters might be bringing more juvenile white sharks to the Gulf of California, where they are easy prey for killer whales, say researchers. Researchers have filmed orcas bringing down juvenile great white sharks in the Gulf of California. They say this is the first record of killer whales hunting juvenile white sharks in Mexican waters, and the second globally. To take down their prey, the killer whales flip the young sharks belly up to put them into a state of paralysis called tonic immobility. When the orcas have subdued the shark, they rip out and feast on its energy-rich...

As many people have pointed out, it's basically the case that we don't actually like the taste of "fish." After all, one of the worst things you can say about a food — particularly fish! — is that it smells or tastes "fishy." So you can imagine how difficult it was for this Portuguese family when their son started smelling, well, exactly like that. Via Live Science: Shortly after eating different types of fish, the child would develop an odor of rotting fish emanating from his body. The smell was noxious and powerful, especially around his head and hands. He...
