Turkey has suspended all trade with Israel in response to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, citing the worsening humanitarian situation in the area. This suspension, initiated by Turkey’s trade ministry, will continue until Israel allows uninterrupted aid flow into Gaza. The trade between the two nations, valued at nearly $7 billion last year, has been affected. Israel’s foreign minister criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing him of authoritarian behavior and neglecting the interests of Turkish people and businesses. The strained relations between Turkey and Israel have a history dating back to 2010 when Turkey broke diplomatic ties with Israel after clashes resulting in the deaths of Turkish activists. Despite the restoration of relations in 2016, tensions have persisted, exacerbated by incidents such as the killing of Palestinians and Erdogan’s vocal criticism of Israel’s leadership, the BBC reported. read more: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle...

During a routine excavation led by the APSARA National Authority (ANA), archaeologists unearthed an unexpected treasure trove of over 100 sandstone sculptures. The excavation, carried out by the ANA’s Department of Preservation and Archaeology at the Ta Prohm Temple’s third enclosure, aimed to clear soil buildup from the temple’s south side. Ta Prohm, renowned for its picturesque blend of towering trees and ancient stones, is famously known as the “Tomb Raider Temple” due to its appearance in the eponymous 2001 film starring Angelina Jolie. As soil removal progressed, the team stumbled upon intricate carvings buried just centimeters beneath the surface. Recognizing the significance of their discovery, the team sought permission to expand the excavation, leading to the unearthing of rare sculptures, including seated and standing Buddhas and Nagas. Though dating is not confirmed, experts speculate that the sculptures may belong to the late 12th or early 13th century Bayon style, the Phnom Penh Post has reported. read more: https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/ta-prohm-gives-up-ancient-secrets-as-100-statues-unearthed Links for B.C.

A study led by ISRO has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting an increased likelihood of water ice presence in the polar craters of the Moon. Conducted by scientists from Space Applications Centre (SAC)/ISRO in collaboration with researchers from various institutions, including IIT Kanpur, University of Southern California, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, the study indicates that subsurface ice in the polar regions may be five to eight times more abundant than surface ice. This finding underscores the importance of drilling on the Moon to access and analyze this ice for future missions and sustained human presence. Additionally, the study reveals that the northern polar region harbors twice as much water ice as the southern polar region, with volcanic activity during the Imbrian period identified as the primary source of this subsurface ice, NDTV has reported. read more: https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/studies-suggest-more-ice-on-moon-within-exploitable-depths-isro-5568544 Links for B.C.

A breakthrough in asteroid detection offers reassurance against potential cosmic threats. Utilizing innovative technology, scientists have uncovered 27,500 previously unnoticed near-Earth asteroids, including 100 that traverse within our planet’s orbit. This achievement marks a significant departure from traditional stargazing methods, as researchers developed a new algorithm, Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery (THOR), to sift through archival space imagery. By connecting dots of light across different photographs, THOR effectively identifies celestial objects and predicts their trajectories. This approach, described as a “sea change” in astronomical research, promises insights crucial for both scientific exploration and planetary defense, the New York Post reported. read more: https://nypost.com/2024/04/30/lifestyle/asteroid-hunters-spot-27500-overlooked-near-earth-asteroids-more-than-all-of-the-worlds-telescopes-last-year/ Links for B.C.

As Mars approaches a solar maximum, NASA is intensifying its focus on the increasing levels of radiation bombarding the planet. Solar maximum occurs approximately every 11 years when the sun’s activity peaks, resulting in heightened solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Unlike Earth, which is shielded by its magnetic field, Mars lacks such protection due to the loss of its global magnetic field. Consequently, Mars and any spacecraft or future manned missions are more susceptible to intense solar activity. To better understand the effects of radiation during solar events, NASA’s MAVEN orbiter and Curiosity rover will collaborate to study solar particles and radiation reaching Mars from both high above the planet and at its surface. By analyzing the quantity and energy of solar particles, as well as the impact of radiation on the Martian atmosphere and surface, researchers aim to gauge the level of protection needed for astronauts exploring Mars, Space.com reported. read more: https://www.space.com/nasa-mars-solar-maximum-storms-maven-curiosity-rover Links for B.C.

House Democratic leaders have pledged to support Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, against a potential conservative coup led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. This move aims to stabilize chamber business and prevent internal turmoil. Greene’s threat to oust Johnson stemmed from disagreements over deals he made with President Biden, including on federal spending and aid to Ukraine. Despite Greene’s motion, only two other GOP members have backed her, while some Democrats have promised to shield Johnson.
