Life can get a little blue beneath the ocean's surface. Warmer colors quickly fade the deeper you go, leaving a meager palette of just a few short wavelengths to light up the landscape.

The World's Oldest Known Wooden Statue Is Over 7,000 Years Older Than Stonehenge
The further back in time you go, the sparser the archaeological record grows. Many materials used by humans - wood, leather, fabric - simply don't last and are swallowed by Earth under the implacable march of time. The Shigir Idol, in that context
We know there are lots of cosmology and astronomy lovers among our members. The question "What books on cosmology would you recommend?" often appears in our chat.
So here's a pretty great list of books on cosmology: from popular to college and graduate textbooks.
The list was created by Prof. Edward L. Wright who got his Ph.D. from Harvard and taught in MIT.

When and how the pandemic will end. McKinsey Structured Analysis and Forecast.
If anyone is able to analyze the sea of the most contradictory information about the course and prospects of the pandemic and give a more or less reliable forecast, it is not epidemiologists and virologists. And not doctors, not vaccine developers, not math model specialists, not medical bureaucrats, and certainly not psychologists, sociologists, or politicians. Only specialists in strategic analysis can summarize, structure, analyze, and scenario-predict the future of the pandemic based on information from all the above-mentioned factors. For example, from McKinsey. Which they just did, based on a giant pool of new information that came in over the last 60 days.
Read their analysis, scenarios, and conclusions here.

@science super short summary of this document is as follows.
When and how the pandemic will end depends on "where".
In Israel and the United States, France and Russia, Australia and China, everything will be very different.
And while each country will be "unhappy in its own way," only one thing will be common to all: the risks will not disappear even when collective immunity is achieved.

The results from one of the most hotly-anticipated experiments in particle physics are in, and they could be about to fulfill every researcher's wildest dreams: They maybe, perhaps, could break physics as we know it.
April 12, 1961: The First Human in Space
Yuri Gagarin, the Soviet cosmonaut who was the first human in space. He orbited Earth in his Vostok 1 spacecraft for 108 minutes. The first human being broke free of the gravity bond with Earth, and orbited the planet.
Gagarin became an international celebrity at the time. He received the USSR’s highest honor, the Hero of the Soviet Union.
