Video shows flames flying from NASA plane that touched down without landing gear
A NASA research plane malfunctioned and had to touch down in Texas without landing gear on Tuesday, sliding across the runway on its belly and sending plumes of flame behind it, a video posted to social media showed. The crew landed the plane at Ellington Airport, southeast of Houston, and are “all safe at this time,” NASA said in a post on X. The federal space agency added that there was “mechanical issue” that will be investigated. The aircraft with its distinct thin fuselage is the NASA WB-57.

AI reveals 800 never-before-seen ‘cosmic anomalies’ in old Hubble images
The universe is so vast, and the difficulty of discovering all that there is out in the cosmos is so great, that one might as well count all the grains of sand in the Sahara. Researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) developed an AI tool that sifted through nearly 100 million image cutouts in the Hubble Legacy Archive, a collection of data from as early as 35 years ago. Among these were scores of possible gravitational lenses—spots where a massive object, such as a galaxy, bends the light of a given source, such as another galaxy—as well as dozens of other oddball objects that defied easy explanation.

The remains of the boy, nicknamed “Il Principe” (“The Prince”) because of the bounty found in his burial site, was first uncovered in 1942 in the Arene Candide Cave in Italy. “He was probably a budding hunter still learning his skills when this happened,” says lead study author Vitale Stefano Sparacello, a biological anthropologist at the University of Cagliari in Italy.
