Dino Species Has 'Something Never Seen Before'
A fossil found in Chile is from an unusual looking canine measured dinosaur species that had a one of a kind cutting tail weapon, researchers revealed Wednesday. A few dinosaurs had spiked tails they could use as cutting weapons, and others had tails with clubs. The new species, portrayed in a review in the diary Nature, has something never seen before on any creature: seven sets of "edges" spread out sideways, similar to a cutting weapon utilized by old Aztec champions, says lead writer Alex Vargas. "It's a truly strange weapon," says Vargas, a University of Chile scientist, per the AP. "Books on ancient creatures for youngsters need to refresh and place this unusual tail in there. ... It simply looks insane."

What We Know And Don'T Know About Omicron Variant
South African scientists have used these mutations to speed up the monitoring of potential variants of these variables before completing a sample sequencing process to determine which variables have caused each test. Scientists fear that these changes may make the difference between birth defects and immune system disorders. This raises concerns that the virus is highly contagious or that it may avoid the effects of an immune response caused by previous vaccinations or infections.

WHO warns of 'high infection risk' around globe
However, he said the initial evidence suggests that there may be a different mutation that could help prevent the immune response and increase its ability to spread from person to person. The WHO in Geneva assessed the risk of diversity as “extremely high” and urged the Member States to conduct more comprehensive trials. The WHO has informed its 194 member nations that any increase in the number of infected people could have serious consequences, but said that death has not yet been linked to new divisions. No Omicron-related deaths have been reported so far, he said, although more research is needed to test Omicron's ability to prevent vaccine-related infections and previous infections.

Why Scientists Are Concerned About New Covid Variant?
South African researchers are looking to track the alarming increase in SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causing COVID-19. New strains of coronavirus have been in the news since scientists reported B.1.1.7, a variant of SARS-CoV-2 that began to attract scientists to England in December, and that it has become more widespread than ever. . germs. Coronavirus strains, first discovered in South Africa, have now spread to several other countries, including Israel and Belgium, causing a wave of travel restrictions in Europe, Asia, and North America.

A Look At This Weekends Coming Solar Storm
Solar Storms Scientists believe another solar flare from the sun could reach our planet over this weekend. Experts warn the coronal mass injection could have the potential to cause power disruptions on earth. The solar blast, also referred to as a CME, was first noticed on November 24, just two days ago. Flares like these are a common occurrence. Not all of them travel toward the earth. But, when they do, they have the power to be disruptive.

The Real Power of Storytelling
Everything that remains with us, from family talks to penning personal essays, journaling, and TED-talk speeches, appears to have a narrative. Someone or something starts their narrative someplace, then something happens, and then, hopefully, the problem is resolved.

Why the harvest time equinox doesn't fall around the same time each year
Equinoxes are not day-long events, even though many choose to celebrate all day. Instead, they occur at the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above Earth's Equator. At this instant, Earth's rotational axis is neither tilted away from nor towards the Sun.
