Vídeo viral mostra homem tomando banho em fonte de água em chamas na Rússia. Especialista confirma fenômeno de gás inflamável (metano) escapando com a água, mas alerta para riscos de queimadura.
Venezuela's earthquake death toll has climbed to nearly 4,500, with over 19,500 people housed in temporary camps. The government plans to offer apartments to affected families, requiring significant resources for rebuilding and housing aid. Aid has arrived from Russia and the United States.
A 12th-century sculpture from Madhya Pradesh, India, previously identified as Saraswati, has been re-identified as Goddess Gayatri. Archaeologists used digital documentation and iconographic analysis, noting the absence of a veena (a Saraswati attribute) and the presence of other symbols matching Gayatri's descriptions in ancient texts.
Venezuela plans temporary accommodation for earthquake victims, with over 19,000 displaced. The government is seeking to release gold reserves and IMF funds for reconstruction efforts.
The death toll from two powerful earthquakes in Venezuela has climbed to 4,490, with 16,740 injured and 6,462 rescued. Over 17,900 are homeless, facing dire conditions and a medical emergency. The government faces accusations of a delayed response and downplaying the crisis.
Venezuela plans temporary accommodation for thousands displaced by recent earthquakes, with the death toll at 4,333. President Jorge Rodriguez announced the plan, while interim President Delcy Rodriguez requested the Bank of England release gold reserves and the IMF release emergency funds for reconstruction.
Analysis suggests Reform UK would have received only 15% of its donations if a £100,000 cap was in place. The party relies heavily on a few wealthy backers, with two billionaires accounting for 71% of its income last year. Other major parties would be less affected.
Analysis reveals Reform UK would have received only 15% of its donations if a £100,000 cap was in place. The party relies heavily on a few wealthy backers, unlike Labour, Conservatives, and Lib Dems, who would be less affected.

Japanese master carpenters use the ancient kigumi woodworking technique, involving precisely carved wooden joints, to repair centuries-old temples without modern nails. This method offers practical advantages, enhancing structural integrity against earthquakes and weather, and promoting sustainability.
Master carpenters in Japan use a 1,000-year-old woodworking technique called kigumi to repair centuries-old temples without modern nails. This method involves precisely carved wooden joints that fit together like puzzle pieces, offering structural advantages against earthquakes and humidity.
Researchers from China's Harbin Institute of Technology have proposed a system for wirelessly powering lunar rovers using laser beams transmitted from solar-powered stations on sunlit peaks. The strategy, detailed in the Journal of Deep Space Exploration, aims to overcome limitations of cables and batteries for future lunar exploration.
JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission successfully altered an asteroid's orbit, demonstrating advanced technology to potentially deflect Earth-bound threats. Mission control confirmed the spacecraft responded perfectly to commands from 100 million km away.
Travis Enright, a firefighter, discovered a passion for paleontology after a flood stranded him in Richmond, Australia's "fossil capital." He now volunteers at Kronosaurus Korner, unearthing ancient fossils and sharing his discoveries online.
Environmental groups, represented by Earthjustice, are petitioning the FCC to conduct a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) before approving applications for orbital datacenters. They cite concerns over cumulative environmental impacts from proposals seeking over a million satellites.
A compilation of recent scientific discoveries and astronomical events, including identified repeating radio signals from space, mysterious compounds on Pluto and Titan, an observable giant asteroid, a study on Earth's fate, a detailed image of the Milky Way's center, new insights into the universe's uniformity, satellite data on Venezuelan earthquakes, a global fungal map, and a new fossil axolotl species.
Astronomers led by Ignazio Ciufolini have achieved the most accurate measurement of Earth's frame dragging (Lense-Thirring effect) to date, reducing uncertainty to 0.2%. Using the LARES-2 satellite and ground-based lasers, they overcame challenges like Earth's oblateness and lunar/solar tides.
Scientists used AI to detect previously unnoticed short-duration slow slip events beneath the San Andreas Fault in California. These silent movements, which release stress over hours or days, may influence earthquake activity and have been cataloged for the first time.
The earthy scent after rain, known as petrichor, is caused by geosmin, a chemical produced by ancient soil bacteria called Streptomyces. Humans are highly sensitive to geosmin, which may have offered an evolutionary advantage in detecting water or healthy soil. These bacteria also produce many life-saving antibiotics.
Lake Baikal in Siberia is the world's deepest and oldest lake, reaching 1,700m and holding 20% of global unfrozen freshwater. Its isolation has fostered unique biodiversity, making it a UNESCO World Heritage site studied for evolution and climate.
The World Health Organization's Americas branch warns that disease outbreaks, poor sanitation, and lack of clean water pose the greatest health risks to over 17,900 survivors of Venezuela's earthquakes. Disruptions to medical care and overcrowded shelters exacerbate these dangers.
Dodici giornalisti sono morti nello Stato venezuelano della Guaira a causa del doppio terremoto del 24 giugno, secondo quanto confermato dal Sindacato nazionale dei lavoratori della stampa (Sntp).
