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

April 26, 2025 by Deborah Bloomfield

This week, we delve into the fossilized remains of an 113-million-year-old “hell ant” discovered in Brazil, the oldest ant known to science. 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. Yes, these worlds form a comet-like tail of materials evaporating away, and this one is losing the equivalent of Mount Everest to space every single orbit. Read more here
