On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on Earth's moon for the first time in human history. Four days later, they — along with Apollo 11 command module pilot Michael Collins — were locked up on an American aircraft carrier in the middle of the Pacific Ocean Of course, as NASA quickly confirmed, there were no tiny aliens lurking in the astronauts' armpits or in the 50 pounds (22 kilograms) of lunar rocks and soil they had collected. But despite this absence of literal extraterrestrial life, the Apollo 11 astronauts still may have succeeded in bringing aliens back to Earth in another way that can still be felt 50 years later They have been searching for signs of intelligent life in the universe for most of his life (and, fittingly, shares a birthday with the Apollo 11 landing)

Khalifa University of Science and Technology has announced that researchers at its Environmental and Geophysical Sciences (ENGEOS) Lab have used satellite remote sensing observations to detect buried objects in already known archaeological sites and to identify potentially unexplored archaeological sites in the UAE by applying machine learning techniques to satellite data. The novel method, which combines satellite data and machine learning, was developed at Khalifa University and can be applied to similar desert environments in the UAE and elsewhere.  Currently, the ENGEOS Lab at Khalifa University is investigating another archaeological site near Al Ain in the UAE

According to reports from NASA, an asteroid nearly as long as the Great Pyramid of Giza is tall, will hurl its way towards Earth However, the giant space rock poses no threat to the planet. NASA is currently monitoring the rock to learn more about the early solar system. They’re also studying it because, if the asteroid’s orbits were to change paths, the asteroid could pose a potential risk to the planet The asteroid, dubbed 2008 GO20, will come within 2.8 million miles of Earth on its nearest approach. It will be coming in hot at a whopping 18,000 mph, according to reports this isn’t the first time this specific asteroid has visited Earth’s domain. According to NASA’s records, it made its closest approach on August 4, 1901. At the time, the asteroid was within 806,856 miles of our planet

The UAE is the first regionally and fourth globally in the rate of vaccine distribution Our country UAE made great efforts and outperformed in distributing vaccines over San Marino, Hungary, the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium and the United States of America. According to the data, the UAE distributed about 16.445 million doses to 6.765 million people, representing about 69.24% of the total population of the country, which is 9.7 million people. In line with the plan of the Ministry of Health and Community Protection to increase examinations in the country, with the aim of early detection, counting and isolating those infected with the “Corona” virus and their contacts, it announced that 152,302 examinations were conducted during the past 24 hours, on different categories, using the best technologies.

The UAE strongly supports the agreement, as production has been increased monthly by 400,000 barrels per day every month, starting from next August, and the supply management agreement has been extended until the end of 2022. There was a dialogue with the OPEC + group, and the UAE is committed to the group until there is balance and stability in the oil market and until recovery from the effects of the Corona virus is achieved. The adjustment of the reference months will be implemented from May 2022 until the end of December 2022, after extending the production cut agreement by 8 months beyond April 2022. The fraternal Emirati-Saudi relations are stable and no one affects them

An explosion in the population of jellyfish along some of the beaches in Greece is causing concern for beachgoers this summer stinging jellyfish have begun to take over the waters near the popular tourist destination of Chalkidiki, northern Greece.

Almost every sci-fi story begins (and sometimes ends) with the terraforming of Mars to turn it into a more hospitable world But with its frigid temperatures, remoteness from the sun and general dustiness, changing Mars to be more Earth-like is more challenging than it seems (and it already seems pretty tough) The thing is, Mars used to be cool. And by cool, I mean warm. Billions of years ago, Mars had a thick, carbon-rich atmosphere, lakes and oceans of liquid water, and probably even white fluffy clouds. And this was at a time when our sun was smaller and weaker, but occasionally much more violent than it is today — in other words, our solar system is a much more favorable place for life now than it was 3 billion years ago, and yet Mars is red and dead We can't access the OG Martian atmosphere, because it's completely lost to space, but Mars does have enormous deposits of water ice and frozen carbon dioxide in its polar caps, and some more laced just underneath the

Between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, strategic relations have been strengthened through important historical stations In order for everyone to save their oil rights, the current agreement continues until April 2022, and my country the UAE does not mind extending the agreement if necessary. The UAE has been a member of the OPEC since the first agreement between its 23 members in December 2016, and has clearly contributed to stabilizing the global oil market by reducing oil production by more than the percentage specified for it. And whatever happens, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are always together, And no matter how different our views, that does not mean that there is disagreement between us
