DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado continues to switch clocks back and forth even though the state passed legislation to stay on daylight saving time permanently in 2022.

Scientists say they’ve finally found remnants of Theia, an ancient planet that collided with Earth to form the moon

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:32:47 GMT

(CNN) — Scientists widely agree that an ancient planet likely smashed into Earth as it was forming billions of years ago, spewing debris that coalesced into the moon that decorates our night sky today.The theory, called the giant-impact hypothesis, explains many fundamental features of the moon and Earth.But one glaring mystery at the center of this hypothesis has endured: What ever happened to Theia? Direct evidence of its existence has remained elusive. No leftover fragments from the planet have been found in the solar system. And many scientists assumed any debris Theia left behind on Earth was blended in the fiery cauldron of our planet’s interior.A new theory, however, suggests that remnants of the ancient planet remain partially intact, buried beneath our feet.Molten slabs of Theia could have embedded themselves within Earth’s mantle after impact before solidifying, leaving portions of the ancient planet’s material resting above Earth’s core some 1,800 miles (about 2,900 kilom...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:32:47 GMT

It reflects the sentiments of many U.S. diplomats, especially at mid-level and lower ranks, according to conversations with several department staffers as well as other reports. If such internal disagreements intensify, it could make it harder for the Biden administration to craft policy toward the region.The memo has two key requests: that the U.S. support a ceasefire, and that it balance its private and public messaging toward Israel, including airing criticisms of Israeli military tactics and treatment of Palestinians that the U.S. generally prefers to keep private.The gap between America’s priv...
