A Michigan Farmer’s Field Contains A Woolly Mammoth

Michigan was digging in a field to help it drain when they came across something that looked like wood about eight feet down. According to the Detroit Free Press, the farmers quickly realized that they were not hitting wood, but rather bone.

Is that a “osu” bone? They called the University of Michigan, and someone at the school’s Museum of Paleontology told Daniel Fisher the news. When Fisher got there, he saw that it wasn’t the osu that the farmers thought they had found. Instead, it was a Mammoth.

According to the Free Press, Fisher and his partner only had one day to find the Mammoth’s bones because the farmers had to get back to work. They were able to find the head, tusks, ribs, and some vertebrae. The pieces that were missing may have been taken by people who ate the animal.The Free Press says that about 30 other mammoths have been found in the state. Fisher told the paper that this one may be a Jeffersonian mammoth, which is not quite a Woolly mammoth and not quite a Columbian mammoth, but is still very big, very impressive, and not something you find every day when you’re doing fieldwork.

35 jaw-dropping James Webb Space Telescope images

Image
After two years in space, the world's most powerful telescope has forever changed the way curious Earthlings view the cosmos. The cutting-edge, $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shared its debut image with the world on July 12, 2022, peering deeper into the universe than any telescope before it. Since then, JWST has captured the mystery and beauty of space in image after dazzling image, both confirming and confounding longstanding theories about how the universe works.  Here are 35 of the telescope's finest observations.  Related: The James Webb telescope has broken cosmology. Can it be fixed? The Pillars of Creation (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Joseph DePasquale (STScI), Anton M. Koekemoer (STScI), Alyssa Pagan (STScI).) The towering pillars of creation – a vast span of sculptured gas and dust located about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the Eagle Nebula – have been a famous Milky Way landmark since the Hubble Space Telescope observed...

Discovering more than a hundred secret passages on the Great Wall of China: The great military wisdom of the ancients

Image
The ruins of more than 130 secret doors on the Great Wall, one of the great wonders of the world, were recently revealed through high-resolution images by a research team. According to Xinhua, based on more thorough image analysis and field trips to the Great Wall, the team found that each secret door was designed to be compatible with each local’s topography. According to experts, these secret passage s are for scouts to pass through, while some are built as communication channels between the inside and outside of the Great Wall or for trade. trade in ancient times. According to some historical documents from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), nomadic tribes were allowed to use such secret gates to graze their livestock between Qinghai and Hetao, northwest China. China, an area with abundant water and grass at that time. Zhang Yukun, a professor from Tianjin University who also led the research team, said it was possible because some large secr...

Massive Asteroid – Similar to That of the Tunguska Event – Is Heading Towards Earth

Image
It is believed that the fall of this object to Earth could result in a large-scale catastrophe, and the power of the explosion could reach 12 megatons. Astronomers reported the approach of a potentially dangerous asteroid called 2018 AH, which will fly past Earth at the end of December. NASA recalled that the object had already flown past our planet in 2018, after that, due to its dimness, it remained unnoticed for a long time. Astronomers’ calculations show that there is no danger of a collision during this flyby. Asteroid 2018 AH Asteroid 2018 AH flew past Earth in 2018 already but it will continue to come back from time to time due to its elliptical orbit. If this time the distance between it and the Earth is 4.5 million kilometers, then it is not known what it will be during the next passages. Three years ago, 2018 AH flew at a distance of fewer than 300 thousand km. This flyby will happen on December 27. Size and power of potential impact According to experts, the celes...
