First Evidence Of Roman Gladiators Fighting Lions, Doomed Planet Sheds Mount Everest’s Worth Of Material Every Orbit And Much More This Week

We explore the peculiar case of Pope Pius XII’s embalming mishap, which led to an unexpected and explosive outcome. We examine how a solar “terminator” event may have disrupted SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, and introduce a synthetic “power bar” designed to sustain bee colonies without natural pollen.

But this little world is unique in the extent of this process; it has the longest tail of any such planet.
