Brexit is the real end of the British Empire, Donald Tusk said on Wednesday, as he urged Remainers to continue fighting to keep Britain in the EU before the general election. The president of the European Council said he hoped that Britain would reverse the Brexit referendum in a farewell speech in Bruges, Belgium. He warned the UK would be relegated to a second rate global player if it leaves the EU. “The UK election takes place in one month. Can things still be turned around?,” said Mr Tusk, who sparked fury when he said in February there was a “special place in Hell” for Brexiteers. “Don’t give up. In this match, we are already in extra time, perhaps it will even go to penalties?,” he said. ... … [Read more...] about Donald Tusk claims Brexit is the real end of the British Empire

Scientist who discovered giant interstellar comet ‘Oumuamua hits out at ‘wild speculation’ it is an alien spacecraft sent to study us
The researcher who discovered a cigar-shaped interstellar rock zooming through our solar system has dismissed claims from Harvard University it could be an alien spacecraft. The Harvard researchers noted in a pre-print of their article that it was an 'exotic scenario,' but that 'Oumuamua may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization.' However, Robert Weryk, who discovered the strange interstellar object in 2017 at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, told CBC's Afternoon Drive their theory is 'a bit of wild speculation'.

Much like the wind pushing a sailboat through water, solar sails rely on sunlight to propel vehicles through space. The sail captures … [Read more...] about Scientist who discovered giant interstellar comet ‘Oumuamua hits out at ‘wild speculation’ it is an alien spacecraft sent to study us
Controversial interstellar comet ‘Oumuamua some believe could be an alien spaceship is far smaller than thought and could be covered in snow and ice, NASA study reveals
The bizarre interstellar object 'Oumuamua, which some have speculated could be an alien craft set to monitor us, is far smaller than thought. A new NASA study uses the fact the object was too small for the infrared Spitzer telescope to spot to estimate its size. Researchers now say cigar shaped 'Oumuamua is probably less than half a mile (2,600 feet, or 800 meters) in its longest dimension.

Using three separate models that make slightly different assumptions about the object's composition, Spitzer's non-detection limited 'Oumuamua's 'spherical diameter' to 1,440 feet (440 meters), 460 feet (140 meters) or perhaps as … [Read more...] about Controversial interstellar comet ‘Oumuamua some believe could be an alien spaceship is far smaller than thought and could be covered in snow and ice, NASA study reveals
Radio telescope study fails to find alien signals from insterstellar comet ‘Oumuamua – but results ‘don’t rule out’ it being an extraterrestrial craft
Researchers have used a high powered radio telescope to study the insterstellar comet 'Oumuamua in a bid to find out if it is an alien craft. Scientists at the SETI Institute attempted to answer the controversial claim by Harvard researchers using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to observe 'Oumuamua when it was about 170 million miles away, or slightly less than the diameter of Earth's orbit. If artificial radio transmissions were found, researchers say it would have been 'strong evidence' the mysterious object is not simply a rock tossed into space by a random gravitational slingshot interaction that occurred in its home star system.

Two mummified babies of the indigenous Canary Island people discovered inside a cave on the volcanic island of Tenerife
A pair of spider-hunters stumbled across the mummified remains of two babies that lived 500 years ago in a Tenerife cave. The mummified infants are believed to be Guanche children, the aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands before the Spanish conquest which began in 1402. One child was wrapped in animal skin and is better preserved than the other, with soft tissue and organs in tact. The other infant is more degraded and only skeletal fragments remain.It is believed the cave is a burial site dating back to the 15th century. It is the first found on the island since 1969.
