Study that analyzed 50 years of data on honey production and its relation to soil, climate, land use, herbicide use and weather in the U.S. The study found that soil productivity and climate conditions were the main factors that determined the baseline level of honey production, while land use, herbicide use and weather anomalies influenced the annual variation. The study also suggested that climate change, land management and pollinator conservation could affect the future of honey production and the availability of floral resources for honey bees and other pollinators.

Scientists used a giant telescope to see three rings of dust in the disk around a young star, where rocky planets like Earth may form. The dust in the rings contains iron and silicates, similar to the materials in the Solar System’s terrestrial planets. This is the first time iron has been detected in a planet-forming disk. The rings suggest that two Jupiter-sized planets are forming in the gaps between them. This is a rare and complex structure in the inner region of a disk.

Cosmic Collision: NASA’s Hubble Telescope captured images of two galaxies, known as Arp 122, merging in a cosmic event. This dramatic process is happening about 570 million light-years away, making it a safe but fascinating spectacle for us to observe. Galactic Changes: Galactic collisions can cause significant changes. They can alter the gravitational forces acting on the elements within the galaxies, sometimes resulting in a single, merged galaxy. Arp 122 might be an example of this phenomenon. Future Collisions: Scientists have found that anywhere from five to 25 percent of galaxies will eventually merge with another. This suggests that there’s plenty more cosmic drama to look forward to in the future.

Ancient Cities in Amazon: Archaeologists have discovered an extensive network of ancient cities, dating back 2,500 years, in the Amazon rainforest. These highly structured settlements were found in the Upano Valley of Amazonian Ecuador. Advanced Engineering: The organization of these cities, with their wide streets, long roads, and clusters of platforms, suggests advanced engineering skills. The discovery challenges the notion of the Amazon as an untouched wilderness. Similar Sites Across Americas: This urban network aligns closely with other sites found across the tropical forests of Panama, Guatemala, Belize, Brazil, and Mexico, suggesting advanced, urban societies were more common in the Americas’ tropical forests than previously thought.
