Scientists have confirmed that Viking explorers reached the Americas nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus.

A recent study establishes that Norse seafarers were present at what is now L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland Canada during the year 1021 AD. This date precedes Columbus arrival in 1492 by almost five centuries.

The evidence comes from three pieces of wood recovered at the Viking site. Each piece displayed clear marks of being cut with metal tools a technology not used by Indigenous groups in the area at that time.

Researchers achieved remarkable precision in dating the artifacts by analyzing a distinctive marker from a powerful solar storm that occurred in 992 AD. This event caused a sharp increase in atmospheric carbon 14 which left a detectable signature in tree rings worldwide the following year.

By identifying this carbon signal in the wood samples and counting 29 annual growth rings outward to the bark scientists determined the trees were felled precisely in 1021 AD.

This finding represents the earliest scientifically verified instance of European presence in the Americas.

For generations historians relied on Icelandic sagas describing voyages led by Leif Erikson. Those narratives however were recorded centuries after the events and blend historical facts with legendary elements.

The new research supplies direct archaeological proof anchored to an exact calendar year.

The settlement appears to have been temporary and many questions remain regarding the duration of Norse activity in North America and their interactions with local Indigenous populations.

Nevertheless analysis of a solar storm from more than a thousand years ago now allows researchers to state with high confidence that Europeans reached the Americas in 1021 AD.

Bill Russell took one dribble from half court and jumped over the defender..

Let that sink in for a second..

A 6'10" center moving like that in the 1960s was almost unimaginable..

His defense gets most of the attention, but his athleticism was just as remarkable. 🤯

Hace 4.500 años existió una civilización tan grande como Egipto y Mesopotamia juntas. Tenía ciudades con alcantarillado, baños en cada casa y agua corriente. No hemos hallado ni un solo rey, ni un ejército, ni una guerra. Y nadie sabe leer su idioma. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Descubren ADN humano antiguo en una pintura rupestre por primera vez: el hallazgo podría identificar a los primeros artistas de la prehistoria.
🧬Un equipo internacional de investigadores logra recuperar ADN humano antiguo de una pintura rupestre y de las paredes de varias cuevas prehistóricas de España y Portugal.
🎨 El descubrimiento abre la posibilidad de identificar algún día a los autores del arte paleolítico y podría aportar nuevas pruebas sobre el papel de los neandertales en el origen del arte. https://t.co/LdcK8B8sQQ

Saturn from Within: Cassini’s Final Shot

In 2017, the Cassini spacecraft executed a daring maneuver, flying right between the planet and its rings. It was one of the mission's riskiest—yet most valuable—moments.

When OG hit the shot, everyone in the building went nuts, even the Security Guards.

Here is a great video of the DJ.

How do you even pick the song in that moment? Went with the most likely choice.

Understandable!

Have to imagine this is the most viral NBA Finals social media moment to date.

A plastic bag that could help save ocean life?

An Indonesian biologist created one using cassava starch.

It looks like plastic but behaves very differently.

The bag dissolves in water and breaks down naturally.

If marine animals accidentally eat it, the material is non-toxic.

The invention was designed to fight one of the world's biggest pollution problems.

Sometimes, the smartest solutions come from nature
