Michael Smith, 51, spotted a Louisiade pitta – not seen since 1916 – and a family barbecuing a Telefomin Cuscus, which was feared extinct after a 1997 forest fire killed the oak trees where they live in the Nong River Valley.

Perfect conditions for opening up a portal to another dimension of the cosmic horror variety if you ask me.Five planets to line up in night sky
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Mars, and the Moon will align in an arc across the evening sky on Monday, with some visible to the naked eye.
This is often called "a planetary parade" and will be visible after sunset in the west.
A good view of the horizon and clear skies will offer the best chance of spotting the alignment.

Lay article: Stressed plants ‘cry’ — and some animals can probably hear them (nature.com)Nature Briefing said:Stressed plants ‘cry’ in ultrasound
Thirsty or stressed plants produce ultrasonic clicks that, when processed to make them audible to humans, sound like popping popcorn. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants that needed water, or that had recently had their stems cut, produced up to roughly 35 clicks per hour. Well-hydrated and uncut plants made only about one sound per hour. The noises possibly come from air bubbles forming or breaking in the plants’ xylem, the tubes that transport water and nutrients from the roots to the stems and leaves. The sounds could be used to monitor plants in farming and horticulture.

I would never have guessed it. Cool little bit of trivia.We underrate how capable and competent our ancestors were. If it wasn't slavery, we'd probably have flying cars, sustainable clean affordable energy and all sorts now.
After the pyramids, does anyone know what the first tallest man made structure was? (I’ll reply with the answer tomorrow).

Yea exactly - it just shows how advanced the ancient Egyptians were that they were able to build a structure that is still standing and the next man made structure that beat it (height wise) came thousands of years later.Eiffel Tower
