Stonehenge looms on Salisbury Plain as a riddle carved in stone, a monument older than the pyramids yet still not fully understood. For generations, it has drawn theories about druids, cosmic observatories, or alien landing pads. But modern archaeology has chipped away at the myths, revealing a site shaped by human hands, human choices, and human meaning.

The new discoveries don’t settle the mystery with a single answer. Instead, they show Stonehenge wasn’t built for just one purpose. It was cemetery, calendar, gathering ground, and monument of unity, shifting in meaning over centuries. That layered story makes it more compelling than any single theory ever could.

When people in the U.S. think about earthquakes, California is the first place that comes to mind. The San Andreas Fault dominates headlines, but new warnings highlight two other regions where the risk of damaging quakes is growing. These areas aren’t used to the same spotlight, which makes the findings even more unsettling.

Researchers are mapping seismic hazards with fresh detail, and the results are shifting focus eastward. Populations in places once thought relatively safe are learning their cities and infrastructure may not be as secure as they believed.

For decades, scientists have wondered whether Mars could ever have supported life. Now, new data from NASA’s Perseverance rover is making that question harder to ignore. The rover has detected organic molecules, unusual chemical patterns, and rock formations that bear striking similarities to environments on Earth where life thrives.

While no one is declaring victory yet, the evidence is mounting. Each new piece of data points to Mars not just as a cold desert but as a planet that once pulsed with conditions fit for biology. The conversation is shifting from “could life exist” to “what kind of life might have been there.”

It sounds like the opening to a novel, but scientists working beneath the Antarctic ice have uncovered something that defies expectation. Human bones—dated older than any previously recorded in this region—are now forcing researchers to rethink what they thought they knew about human migration and survival.

This discovery isn’t just another headline about ancient bones. It presses on long-held assumptions about where people could live, how far they could travel, and what stories are buried under the frozen surface of our planet. The questions multiply faster than the answers, and every layer of ice pulled back only deepens the mystery.

When most people picture the world’s deadliest hunters, they imagine lions on the savanna, sharks slicing through reefs, or wolves coordinating in packs. The truth sits in a place no one expects. The predator with the highest success rate on Earth is not a massive carnivore but an insect that looks like stained glass brought to life—the dragonfly.

What’s remarkable isn’t just their accuracy in the air, but the fact that this efficiency has roots stretching back hundreds of millions of years. Long before humans counted victories and failures, dragonflies perfected their aerial strike, and they’ve never really had to improve since.
