Beneath the calm waters of Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang Province, China are the mysterious ruins of two ancient cities lost under water, dating back to the Han and Tang dynasties. Shi Cheng (literally ‘Lion City’ in Chinese) is an ancient underwater city located under Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang Province, China. The city was flooded for the purpose of Industrialization by the Chinese Government in 1959 after Zhejiang province had to build a hydroelectric dam. Qiandao Lake, also known as Thousand Island Lake, is a long stretch of freshwater, covering an area of 573 square kilometers. The name comes from the…

Archaeologists in Prague are currently uncovering a monumental building from the Stone Age. The so-called roundel, built around 7,000 years ago, is located in the district of Vinoř on the outskirts of the city. Experts are hoping that the research will reveal more information about these mysterious ancient structures. Roundels are large circular structures from the Neolithic period, that were constructed between 4600–4900 BC. That makes them the oldest monumental buildings in Europe, far older than the Egyptian pyramids or England’s Stonehenge. One such roundel is currently being examined in Prague’s district of Vinoř. So far, research has shown that…

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has detected a strange humming sound emanating from space. The Voyager 1 space mission was launched by NASA 44 years ago, and it is now the farthest remote human-made object from Earth, having exited our solar system nine years ago. It has been exploring the near-emptiness of interstellar space since then, giving back crucial data to help us comprehend the universe beyond our solar system. Scientists have discovered a “continuous hum” caused by the steady vibration of minuscule quantities of gas in interstellar space, according to equipment aboard the faraway spacecraft. According to research published in…
Julius Randle has another reason to be happy. The New York Knicks star bagged a $1.2 million bonus after the team clinched a playoff berth. This comes on the back of the $1.2 million he made in February earlier this season after he was named as an All-Star reserve. The latest development comes from ESPN’s Bobby Marks, who had reported news of his moolah made from the All-Star nod. This Offseason Blockbuster Trade Sends Pascal Siakam ToThe Philadelphia 76ers “Julius Randle received a $1.2M bonus after the Knicks clinched a playoff spot,” Marks wrote in his tweet.

Three-point shooting is regarded as an important part of the game since it gives players the opportunity to gain quick points for their teams. A precise three-point shot is essential in winning scenarios in the modern era because three is always counted more than two, and coaches are drawing up spectacular plays to generate a high number of points. The most talented shooters typically have high three-point shooting percentages because even in today’s NBA, spread offenses and spacing with four or five shooters at a minimum is often required. Certainly, whether we like it or not, the game has changed…

The Philadelphia 76ers are a team that is currently trying to compete for a championship, and there’s no doubt that they have a talented roster as of right now. Still, changes could be on the horizon for the team if they fail to make a deep run in the playoffs. A player that the team could potentially try and get with their limited resources is forward Pascal Siakam, who currently plays for the Toronto Raptors. Siakam is notably on an expiring contract, which makes acquiring him easier for the Philadelphia 76ers. Here is a potential trade framework. Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Pascal Siakam Toronto Raptors…
Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have been far from their best this season, the team has struggled to replicate the success they have enjoyed in seasons past. The Miami Heat are currently in the play-in tournament, despite having added Kevin Love to help bolster their roster. And while things may not be ideal, Love has high praise for his star teammate. “You know, one of the best closers in the game,” Kevin Love said. “I’ll take Jimmy Butler pretty much over anyone in the league when it comes down to winning. When it comes down to 6 minutes, 4 minutes, 2…
Just when we felt the universe couldn’t get more complex, we came across an amazing revelation that instantly blew everyone’s mind. The find in question is the exact reconstruction of the Tomb of Osiris, found in Egypt by a Spanish-Italian archeological team. There’s no question about it, this is an identical copy, because the two are identical clones of each other. The ancient tomb currently holds more than a dozen chambers and shafts under which the servants are thought to have been buried. In the center of the base, you will find yourself in a massive hall, kept up by…
A metropolis has recently been discovered in South Africa, about 93 miles from the port of Maputo. The metropolis dates back to 200,000 years ago. According to scientists, this metropolis will be part of a culture that was founded between 160,000 and 200,000 B.C. and will be a much bigger one. The two researchers who continue the investigation are Johan Heine, a regional pilot and firefighter, and Michael Tellinger. Johan was one of only the two who had the ability to study this metropolis from the air and claimed that their prestige was so high that it was even difficult…
The NCAA Women’s Basketball Champions were crowned tonight after the Louisville State University Tigers overcame the Iowa Hawkeyes in one of the most exciting NCAAW Finals matchups in years. Angel Reese of LSU was the star of the night, stealing the shine Iowa’s Caitlin Clark had been receiving. Reese has been heavily criticized for her showboating during the win over Iowa, and LeBron James has come out in her support. The double standards between media treatment of Reese and Clark are very obvious and James has been retweeting tweets from the likes of Emmanuel Acho and David Aldridge to illustrate the point…
Two players that have been the greatest over the past decade and a half are Stephen Curry and LeBron James, both four-time NBA champions. Curry is the greatest shooter of all time and sits firmly at first all-time in three-pointers made to solidify himself as the greatest marksman in the history of basketball. But even when looking at Curry’s career, the point guard achieved a lot in the game beyond shooting the basketball from deep. Four NBA titles, a Finals MVP award, and two MVPs are the highlights of Steph’s achievements, along with an incredible mark in NBA history with…

Stars are basically spherical, and when they explode, the explosions are spherical too. Most of the time. But an international team of astronomers has observed a disc-shaped explosion – the thinnest yet known to science. The explosion is called a Fast Blue Optical Transient (FBOT): a rare event that astronomers have only known about for the past five years. They’re also called ‘cows’. “Very little is known about FBOT explosions – they just don’t behave like exploding stars should, they are too bright and they evolve too quickly,” says Dr Justyn Maund, a researcher in the Department of Physics and…
ESPRESSO’s spectrograph detected two ‘super-Mercury’ worlds in the star systeм HD 23472. Astronoмers haʋe discoʋered that these planets are extreмely rare. This study, puƄlished in Astronoмy &aмp; Astrophysics, looked at how the coмposition of tiny planets ʋaries with planet position, teмperature, and star attriƄutes. The reason for oƄserʋing this planetary systeм, according to Susana Barros, a researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics e Ciências do Espaço (IA) who led the project, is to characterise the coмposition of sмall planets and to study the transition Ƅetween haʋing an atмosphere and not haʋing an atмosphere. The eʋaporation of the atмosphere could Ƅe…

Planet Earth is not the only celestial body that is suspended in space. On the cosmic journey Earth is accompanied by other planets, stars, constellations, cosmic dust and much more, among them: a special “mini moon”. A look at the sky by the Center for Minor Planets of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory was enough to recognize the presence of a small and strange object that surrounds the Earth. This “minimoon” could be an asteroid captured by Earth’s gravity. Earth has a new mini moon This means that the small moon will be in orbit temporarily. In addition to the fact…
After capturing his fifth NBA championship last season, Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has the chance to join elite company if he’s able to win another title before it’s all said and done. Whether it’s this season or next, or after, Curry’s path to becoming a 5x champion is still very much in sight and Curry himself recently spoke about that scenario in a chat with Steiny & Guru on Audacy’s 95.7 ‘The Game.’ “You definitely understand the list that it puts you in every time you get another one and understanding the historical context of it,” Curry said, via Steiny & Guru.…

The Los Angeles Lakers can make history this season if they finish the job and go to the playoffs. After a tumultuous start to the campaign, the Purple and Gold are on the way to the postseason. If they made it to the big party, the Lakers would become the first time to clinch a playoffs berth after starting the season 2-10. This would be huge for this squad after all the bad moments they’ve endured all season long. From dealing with injuries, and going through chemistry issues to not having the right cast to support LeBron James and Anthony…

In the coming decade, NASA and China plan to send the first crewed missions (astronauts and taikonauts) to Mars. Both agencies hope to begin sending missions by 2033, coinciding with a Mars Opposition, followed by additional missions in 2035, 2037, and after. These missions will culminate with the creation of a Mars surface habitat that will enable future missions and research. Launch opportunities for these missions are limited because the distances between Earth and Mars vary considerably over time, ranging from about 56 million km (~35 million mi) to more than 400 million km (250 million mi). The times when Earth and…
