2. Antimatter is closer to you than you think.
Small amounts of antimatter constantly rain down on the Earth in the form of cosmic rays, energetic particles from space. These antimatter particles reach our atmosphere at a rate ranging from less than one per square meter to more than 100 per square meter. Scientists have also seen evidence of antimatter production above thunderstorms.

But other antimatter sources are even closer to home. For example, bananas produce antimatter, releasing one positron—the antimatter equivalent of an electron—about every 75 minutes. This occurs because bananas contain a small amount of potassium-40, a naturally occurring isotope of potassium. As potassium-40 decays, it occasionally spits out a positron in the process.

Our bodies also contain potassium-40, which means positrons are being emitted from you, too. Antimatter annihilates immediately on contact with matter, so these antimatter particles are very short-lived.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/cruise-ship-runs-aground-in-greenland-with-more-than-200-onboard/ar-AA1gEZaC?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=0c3a8703762b4e349036b869daca065c&ei=65#image=1

The Ocean Explorer expedition has been touted as a cruise ship "purpose-built for expedition travel to the world's most remote destinations," complete with "cutting-edge technology" and its "navigation capabilities."

But on Tuesday, it ran aground in a national park in northeast Greenland.

The Joint Arctic Command said the ship grounded in Alpefjord, part of the Northeast Greenland National Park, the world's largest national park, on Tuesday. According to Greenland travel site Visit Greenland, the remote area is an area considered an "Arctic Desert" because annual rainfall is so low.

There was no damage to the vessel that could cause a risk to the environment.

This is fucked up:   https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/sycamore-gap-tree-hadrian-wall-nature-uk_uk_651565b5e4b0fa72d69d867e

An iconic tree next to Hadrian’s Wall was discovered cut in two this morning, having been mysteriously felled – prompting a wave of confusion and heartbreak online.

As one of the UK’s most photographed trees, it used to stand as a solitary bit of foliage in the Sycamore Gap, until last night.

The exact age of the tree was not known, but it was estimated to be at least several centuries old.

A Belgian man has been acquitted of drunk-driving because he has auto-brewery syndrome (ABS), an extremely rare condition whereby the body produces alcohol, his lawyer has said.

TEAM ORCA STRIKES AGAIN

The boat-ramming orcas are back in action: Two people had to be rescued from a sailing yacht in the Strait of Gibraltar after the black-and-white marine mammals damaged the vessel so badly it later sank, reporters Reuters’ David Latona.
