NASA captures image of Mars’ Arsia Mons volcano, nearly twice the height of Earth’s tallest mountain

A Montessori-inspired kids' app called Pok Pok is offering a lifetime subscription for $49.99, positioning it as a creative alternative to mindless screen time for children.

Editor’s Note: Parents are constantly juggling screen time guilt with the reality of modern life—this deal frames tech as a tool for learning rather than just distraction. It taps into the growing demand for "worthwhile" digital activities that align with child development principles, making it a tempting pitch for caregivers who want to feel better about handing over a tablet.

SpaceX is gearing up to launch its fourth private astronaut mission, Ax-4, to the International Space Station (ISS) on June 10. If you're into spaceflight, you can catch the live stream of the liftoff—because who wouldn’t want to watch a rocket launch on a Tuesday morning?

Editor’s Note: Private space missions like this one are becoming more routine, signaling a shift toward commercial space travel. It’s not just government agencies sending people to orbit anymore—companies like SpaceX are making space more accessible (at least for those who can afford it). Plus, live broadcasts keep the public engaged in space exploration, even if most of us are just watching from our couches.

Turns out, the long-predicted cosmic smash-up between our Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy might not be as inevitable as we thought—scientists are re-evaluating the timeline (or if it’ll even happen). Meanwhile, the North Atlantic Ocean is cooking at record-breaking temps, which spells trouble for weather patterns. On the lighter side, researchers are baffled by worms that construct eerie, living towers, and there’s a weird new exoplanet defying expectations by orbiting a puny star.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just astronomy nerdery—if the Milky Way-Andromeda collision is uncertain, it reshapes how we understand our galaxy’s future. The ocean heat surge? That’s a climate red flag with real-world ripple effects. And the worm towers? Pure, delightful weirdness reminding us nature’s full of unsolved puzzles. A little cosmic uncertainty, a dash of environmental urgency, and a sprinkle of "wait, worms did what?"—classic science news.

A decades-old prediction by the late Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga—about a mysterious "new light in the sky" disrupting a major televised sports event in 2025—is getting fresh attention. With events like Wimbledon and the World Series still ahead, UFO enthusiasts are connecting the dots between her vague prophecy and recent headlines about alien DNA claims and government UFO disclosures. Skeptics, of course, are rolling their eyes.

Editor’s Note: Whether you buy into psychic predictions or not, this story taps into our enduring fascination with the unknown—especially when it involves aliens and high-profile global events. With governments increasingly open about UFO investigations, even wild theories like this one get a second look. It’s less about whether Baba Vanga was right and more about why we keep searching for patterns in the unexplained.

Archaeologists have uncovered a stunning gold-covered Bronze Age artifact dubbed the "Sun Chariot"—a delicate bronze figure that likely represents a sacred horse pulling the sun, possibly used in ancient Nordic rituals. The intricate craftsmanship suggests it held deep religious or ceremonial significance for the people who created it.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another ancient trinket—it’s a window into how Bronze Age cultures might have worshipped or understood the cosmos. The level of detail hints at a sophisticated belief system, and the fact that it survived centuries makes it a rare and exciting find for historians piecing together humanity’s spiritual past.
