Giant ancient Greek statue returns to Sicily’s Valley of the Temples

March 3, 2024542 Views

A giant statue dating back about 2,500 years has been restored to Sicily's Valley of the Temples, an archeological site which ancient Greek poet Pindar described as "man's finest city." The 8-metre high representation of the mythological giant Telamon once supported the temple of Zeus, one of the famed Doric constructions on the site that art historians consider the principal ancient Greek historical record outside Greece itself. "Telamon will become ... the new international ambassador of an archaeological site with no equals worldwide", said Sicily's cultural heritage councillor Francesco Paolo Scarpinato. The stone statue returned to guard the temple on Thursday, following 20 years of restoration work. In ancient times the giant was one of numerous Telamon statues that wer...

Astronomers reveal a new link between water and planet formation

Researchers have found water vapour in the disc around a young star exactly where planets may be forming. Water is a key ingredient for life on Earth, and is also thought to play a significant role in planet formation. Yet, until now, we had never been able to map how water is distributed in a stable, cool disc — the type of disc that offers the most favourable conditions for planets to form around stars. The new findings were made possible thanks to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner. “I had never imagined that we could capture an image of oceans of water vapour in the same region where a planet is likely forming,” says Stefano Facchini, an astronomer at the University of Milan, Italy, who led the stud...

The world likely notched its warmest February on record, as spring-like conditions caused flowers to bloom early from Japan to Mexico, left ski slopes bald of snow in Europe and pushed temperatures to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 C) in Texas. While data has not been finalised, three scientists told Reuters that February is on track to have the highest global average temperature ever recorded for that month, thanks to climate change and the warming in the Eastern Pacific Ocean known as El Nino.

How to experience Amsterdam in 48 hours

February 28, 2024374 Views

Tips from an online travel expert Glenn Fogel I first visited the city in 1983 as a student. Amsterdam is a city of contrasts, which is one of my favorite things about it. It is incredibly international, but geographically small. It’s a tourism hub, but also a center for business and tech in the region. There’s so much happening, but it runs at a more relaxed pace than many other major cities. WHERE TO GO AFTER YOU LAND If I am coming in the early morning from New York, I head to my accommodation and get a workout in – either at the hotel gym or, weather permitting, I’ll run in Vondelpark (Amsterdam-Zuid borough). I like to mix up where I stay. BEST PLACE FOR TEAM MEETINGS The Booking.com headquarters (Oosterdokskade) has some of the best views of Amsterdam, and any ...
