The Code of Hammurabi is one of the earliest written legal codes, established by the Babylonian king Hammurabi. The code consists of 282 laws with scaled punishments, depending on social status (slaves, free men, etc.).
Butterflies have good eyesight within 10-12 feet, but any farther, things look blurry. They also must rely on ultraviolet colors (invisible to the human eye) to find mates and the right flowers.
A study shows up to 30% of Sun-like stars may engulf planets, altering their metallicity. These "polluted" stars suggest rocky planets are destroyed during orbital decay. Ultra-short-period planets in compact systems are key to understanding this pheno
Scientists have developed a technique to create 3D models of cosmic structures using polarized radio light data. This method offers new insights into phenomena like relativistic jets and black holes, challenging traditional 2D observations and aiding fut
A new study revises the Drake Equation, considering cosmic expansion's role in creating conditions for life. Researchers propose adding parameters for dark energy and multiverse possibilities, suggesting that varying cosmic conditions might influence li
The DESI project traced cosmic structure growth over 11 billion years, validating Einstein’s gravity at large scales and refining dark energy models. It also set new limits on neutrino mass. Using data from 6 million galaxies, DESI creates the most pre
Sharks don't have bones. They are a special type of fish known as "elasmobranchs", which translates into fish made of cartilaginous tissues. Even though sharks don't have bones, they still can fossilize. As most sharks age, they deposit calcium salts
