How to see Mercury, the moon and the Gemini twins pass close together in the night sky this week

A small soccer team in Vermont is making big waves—not just on the field, but in the fight for the planet. The Vermont Green Football Club combines grassroots sports with environmental activism, attracting packed stands (and sweetening the deal with free ice cream). Their games are more than just matches; they’re a rallying point for climate-conscious fans.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t your typical sports story. In a world where pro athletics often feel disconnected from real-world issues, Vermont Green shows how community-driven teams can tackle big problems—like climate change—while keeping things fun and inclusive. It’s proof that local action (and a little free dessert) can inspire people to show up, both for the game and the cause.

Imagine biting into a burger that was never part of a living cow—it was grown in a lab from animal cells. That’s the reality in some countries, where lab-grown beef, chicken, and even quail are already on restaurant menus. Now, the UK might join the list, sparking debates: Is this the future of sustainable eating, or a step too far into "Frankenfood" territory?

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about weird science—it’s a potential game-changer for the planet. Lab-grown meat could slash emissions and reduce factory farming, but it also freaks people out. Whether it’s brilliant innovation or culinary uncanny valley, it’s forcing us to rethink what we’re willing to eat—and how far we’ll go to fix our broken food system.

Turns out, some tough little lizards were basically front-row spectators to the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs—and lived to tell the tale. Scientists discovered that night lizards, tiny creatures living near the impact site in Mexico, somehow survived the cataclysmic event 66 million years ago. It’s a head-scratcher because everything nearby should have been vaporized, but these scrappy survivors bucked the odds.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a cool "nature is metal" fact—it reshapes how we think about survival during mass extinctions. If these unassuming lizards could tough it out right next to ground zero, maybe other small, adaptable species had tricks we don’t yet understand. It’s a reminder that even in apocalyptic scenarios, life finds a way (sometimes in the most unexpected places).

Scientists have noticed something surprising about women's bodies—pelvises have been gradually shrinking over the last century and a half. The shift might be linked to modern factors like more C-sections and dietary changes. While this could mean tougher vaginal deliveries, it might also lower risks for certain childbirth-related conditions.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a quirky fact—it’s a glimpse into how our bodies adapt (or don’t) to modern life. Smaller pelvises could reshape childbirth practices, but they also hint at unintended consequences of medical advancements. It’s a reminder that evolution doesn’t stop just because we’ve got hospitals and processed food.

Summer’s here, and if you’re tired of the same old backyard hangouts, this list has you covered. From high-energy sports to chill games perfect for kids, it’s a roundup of 12 outdoor activities to spice up your next get-together. Think of it as a cheat sheet for turning any yard into a fun zone.

Editor’s Note: Let’s face it—planning a gathering can be stressful, especially when you’re trying to keep guests entertained. This isn’t just a list; it’s a toolkit for making memories without overthinking it. Whether you’ve got competitive friends or little ones in tow, there’s something here to keep everyone happy (and off their phones).
