🇦🇷 Milei Opens Argentina’s Glaciers to Mining in Win for BHP, Glencore and Lundin Argentina’s Congress voted 137-111 Thursday to gut the country’s 2010 Glacier Law, handing a major victory to President Javier Milei and the global mining industry after nearly 12 hours of debate and thousands of protesters outside parliament. 🔹The projects most immediately unlocked include the Vicuña joint venture between BHP, the world’s largest miner, and Lundin Mining, the Vancouver-based mining group, along with Glencore, one of the world’s largest raw materials traders, and its El Pachón copper project in Argentina’s San Juan province near the Chilean border. 🔹El Pachón alone carries a $9.5 billion price tag and had been delayed by glacier protection rules. U.S. mining entrepreneur Rob McEwen copper venture is also expected to benefit through its Los Azules project, one of Argentina’s largest undeveloped copper deposits. Mining sector estimates say the new framework could unlock more than $30 billion in investment over the next decade, with 70% earmarked for copper, gold and silver. 🔹The key shift: the reform strips a federal scientific body of its authority to designate protected glaciers, handing that power to provincial governments — most of which are pro-mining.  Critics say provinces will simply greenlight any glacier that stands in the way of extraction. 🔹In the northwest, where mining is concentrated, glacial reserves have already shrunk 17% in the last decade.  Environmental lawyers warned the reform threatens the water supply of 70% of Argentinians. 🔹Environmental groups have vowed to challenge the law in court. Milei, who does not believe in man-made climate change, replied: “Environmentalists would rather see us starve than have anything touched.”

Trippy Velvet Malachite 🌀 We are excited to share this phenomenal Malachite because it is the best example we have ever filmed! The velvety texture is caused by tiny fibrous crystals of Malachite that form in bubbly (botryoidal) layers. When light interacts with the surface of malachite, it gets scattered and absorbed by the numerous crystal surfaces, creating a soft and velvety appearance. It was found at the Shilu Mine in Guangdong, China. Currently on display at the Granada Gallery Special Exhibition from the collection of Dr. Erika Pohl - Featuring all Copper & Iron Minerals from now until February 10th in Tucson, AZ ✨ #malachite #gems #gemshow #trippy

One reaction changed everything. From human to pure energy, science became the future Created with Seedance 2.0 on WaveSpeedAI Prompt: A cinematic ultra-realistic sequence inside a futuristic high-tech chemistry laboratory. A brilliant young scientist wearing a white lab coat carefully pours a glowing blue serum into a transparent glass flask. Suddenly, the unstable chemical reaction erupts into an intense burst of golden, cyan, and violet energy. The scientist is engulfed in the radiant explosion as their body begins dissolving into billions of glowing atoms, molecules, and quantum particles. The camera performs a dramatic 360° orbit while every atom separates in slow motion, connected by luminous chemical bonds and streams of plasma energy. The particles travel through a breathtaking microscopic molecular universe filled with floating DNA helices, orbiting electrons, crystal lattices, colorful chemical reactions, and glowing periodic elements. The energy stream accelerates through a cosmic tunnel of atoms before converging again. Every molecule perfectly reassembles into the scientist, who now appears as an upgraded futuristic version wearing a sleek nanotech suit with glowing blue energy lines. Their eyes emit a soft electric glow as waves of molecular energy ripple across the laboratory. The room transforms into an advanced AI research facility with holographic chemical formulas floating in the air. The scientist confidently raises a hand, creating a luminous sphere of molecular energy above their palm. Cinematic camera movement, Hollywood VFX, hyper-realistic chemistry simulation, volumetric lighting, particle physics, ultra-detailed molecular animation, seamless transformation, dramatic slow motion, shallow depth of field, 8K, masterpiece, photorealistic, epic sci-fi atmosphere, vertical 16.9

Blue Ghost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick clip. The red hue is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere as the sun is blocked by our planet, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The glowing ring of the eclipse is again seen on Blue Ghost’s solar panel. #BGM1

Facial reconstruction of a 3,750-year-old acromegalic Aryan smith from Chelyabinsk He belonged to the proto-Indo-Iranian Sintashta culture, which traces its origins farther to the west in Europe. In the late 1970s, archaeologists discovered a fortified settlement of the Sintashta people in the Troitsk district of the Chelyabinsk region, which was named Chernorechye-III. A few years later, not far from it, researchers also identified the ancient cemetery of Krivoe Ozero, where its inhabitants may have been buried. In the third grave of barrow number ten, archaeologists found the skeleton of an adult who had been buried on his side with bent legs and arms, with the hands positioned close to the face. Alongside the skeleton, scientists found ceramic vessels, animal bones, metal objects and fragments of them, as well as pieces of ore and slag. Anthropologists determined that the skeleton belonged to an adult man approximately 164-167 cm tall, who died at an age of over 50. On his bones they identified signs that during his life he had performed heavy physical labor, with more strain on the arm muscles than on the legs. Together with the finds of ore, slag, and metal items, this suggests, according to the researchers, that the burial most likely belongs to an ancient metallurgist who worked in processing copper ore, forging bronze tools, and possibly frequently pumped air into furnaces using bellows. In addition, anthropologists noted this man’s atypical appearance, which differed significantly from the general Sintashta population. Apparently, he suffered from acromegaly - a pituitary disorder that leads to the enlargement and thickening of cranial bones. Moreover, the analysis of ore from this man’s grave showed the presence of material from gold-copper-porphyry deposits. The nearest such deposit with evidence of ancient mining is located in the Ural-Mugodzhary mining-metallurgical center - roughly 300-350 kilometers south of the cemetery. This likely indicates contacts between the Sintashta people and inhabitants of more southern regions. The paleoanthropological material from the site was described by G. V. Rykushina (Rykushina 2003), unfortunately only at the individual level. The author noted the presence of morphologically different skulls in the sample - Europoid (kurgan 1, burial 3; kurgan 10, burial 3; kurgan 10, burial 34), gracile Europoid (kurgan 9, burial 7), and a Europoid skull with equatorial features (kurgan 10, burial 6). Based on the study of pathological markers (such as mastoiditis, cranial infections, and diseases of the dental-jaw system), the author suggested that this group had immigrated from a different climatic zone (Rykushina 2003: 360). A particularly specific skull that should be noted is from kurgan 10, burial 3, which is characterized by overall maturization, dolichocrany, a high cranial vault, a large facial skeleton, and moderate horizontal profiling with a strongly projecting nose. One must agree with G. V. Rykushina’s observation of signs of hormonal disorders that led to the development of acromegaly (Rykushina 2003: 352). This likely caused changes in the size of the facial skeleton, primarily in height and width. However, even without considering these pathologies, this skull is quite distinctive. (E. P. Kitov, A. A. Khokhlov, P. S. Medvedeva 2018) The man had a medium-large cranial length of 182 mm, a medium-small cranial width of 135 mm, and a broad cheekbone width of around 145 mm.

Facial Reconstruction of a woman from Khuzestan, Iran The prehistoric site of Chega Sofla, also referred to as Tol-e Chiga Payini, Tol-e Chiga Domeni, and Chogha Sofla, is located on the Zeydun plain, south of the provincial city of Behbahan in southeastern Khuzestan, near the northern shores of the Persian Gulf. Based on archaeomagnetic dating and relative stratigraphy, the site is dated between 4200 and 3800 BC. The woman, about 25 years old, referred to as "Khatun" by archeologists, was buried alone, deliberately positioned between two large collective graves. Her burial included an unusually rich assemblage of objects, marking her as a high-status individual. Among these, a nearly 60 cm long copper blade, composed of ~97% copper. Due to the softness of pure copper, the weapon was interpreted as symbolic rather than functional for combat, representing one of the earliest known examples of its kind. Other notable objects in her burial include: Copper artifacts: vessels, tools, and weapons. Gold-plated items and beads: a copper basin with traces of gold plating and a small gold ornament placed near her head. These are among the earliest known gold objects from Iranian prehistory, predating comparable finds from Turkmenistan and Tepe Bojg. Marble weight: a heavy perforated marble object weighing approximately 7.2 kg, likely intended for suspension. Positioned in front of her head, it may have symbolized economic control or authority within standardized systems. Deliberate skull modification: observed not only in Khatun’s grave but also in several others (BG1.11, BG1.12, BG1.18, BG1.20, BG1.28, BG1.29, BG1.30), potentially signaling elite status or group affiliation. Collectively, these features suggest that Khatun’s burial was deliberately designed to emphasize her elevated social position. Nearby burials of other prominent women also contained rich grave goods, though none matched her level of elaboration. Bioarchaeological evidence indicates no substantial differences between men and women in diet or health, suggesting broadly equal daily living conditions. Consequently, the variation in burial treatment and grave goods is more plausibly linked to social, symbolic, or political distinctions rather than biological factors. Taken together, these findings point to the emergence of an elite female social class, with Khatun likely occupying the highest position. Such women may have exercised political, economic, or symbolic authority within their communities, challenging the assumption that power in prehistoric chiefdoms of southeastern Iran was exclusively male.
