Scientists have claimed that days on earth are getting longer but they have not found any concrete reason behind the phenomenon. The observation came as a surprise as June 2022 saw the shortest day in almost half a century. With the Earth’s rotation around its axis speeding up in the past few decades, the days were supposed to get shorter with time. However, the trend seems to have reversed once again and from 2020, steady rise in the length of days was observed by the scientists.

The length of a day has a number of significant implications – ranging from how time is measured to various modern technologies like GPS. As a result, scientists are trying to find the reasons behind this sudden change and how the trend completely changed despite the speed of the planet’s rotation.

According to the study, the main reason behind the slowing down of Earth’s rotation is friction. With the effects of the friction taking place over millions of years, the rotation of the axis has slowed down and as a result, it has added around 2.3 milliseconds to the length of each day every century.

While climate change also had an effect on the rotation, the scientists found that the impact was not that significant, and the tidal changes have increased the length of day by up to a millisecond.

With the study going public, a number of people have been asking for a "negative leap second" in order to balance out the increase but no such request was considered by the authorities.

China has been conducting military drills around Taiwan in the aftermath of the United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the country. Taiwan said on Sunday that China deployed as many as 66 warplanes and 14 warships in the nearby areas with 22 aircrafts crossing the line dividing the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese authorities were not happy with Pelosi visiting Taiwan despite multiple warnings and the military drills are being considered to be a clear show of retaliation.

It has been common for Chinese forces to cross the Taiwan Strait line – the unofficial border between the two countries – as a show of aggression. The aircrafts started their usual exercise even before Pelosi arrived on August 4, and they have continued the drills ever since.

Taiwan said that they were able to scramble a combat air patrol and implemented defense missile system against the planes, according to the official statement of the Ministry of National Defense. Earlier, Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-Wen said that&nbsp;they will not "escalate conflicts or provoke disputes" but will "firmly&nbsp;defend the country's sovereignty".

The first set of drills ended on Sunday, but the Chinese media has reported that the next round will continue to take place. The authorities also said they detected an unmanned aerial vehicle near the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen and the army fired to repel it from making any progress into the area.

China has also said it will hold live-fire drills in the Yellow Sea between China and the Korean peninsula from Saturday until August 15.

The agreement between Russia and Ukraine to allow the passage of ships carrying food grains in the middle of the crisis was lauded by leaders all around the world. Pope Francis also joined in praising the departure of the ships from the Black Sea ports and said that it can be a “breakthrough” for dialogue that can eventually result in a long-term resolution. The pope has tried to bring the two countries on the discussion table, but no resolution seems likely at present for the ongoing invasion.

"This step shows that it is possible to conduct dialogue to reach concrete results, which help everyone," Pope Francis said at his weekly address in St. Peter's Square, according to Reuters.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine caused a major food shortage all around the world and the renewed supply of food grains is extremely important for the global economy. Razoni – the first ship to leave Ukraine under the new United Nations-brokered deal – reached Turkey as per agreement.

The agreement was signed by both Russia and Ukraine under the observation of a Joint Coordination Centre (JCC) in Istanbul after concerns regarding worldwide famine. The Pope had earlier criticised the food crisis due to the conflict and even asked countries to not use food as a “weapon”.

A lot of theories exist about the early dark days of the universe, but Chinese scientists have found a new way to get a glimpse into that period. The Discovering the Sky at the Longest Wavelengths (DSL) mission, which is also called Hongmeng, will be sending around ten satellites to orbit around the world in order to pick different cosmic signals. The satellites will also block the electromagnetic interference from humans on earth to completely understand the cosmos in a better way.

The mission, led by Chen Xuelei of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and his team of researchers, was approved by Chinese Academy of Sciences' New Horizons Program.

This was among a number of projects covering topics like “astronomy, exploration, Earth science, heliophysics and exoplanet missions”, according to media reports.

During the initial days of the earth, there was&nbsp;“faint, stretched out, ultra-long wavelength light emitted by hydrogen atoms” which were created from the Big Bang, according to South China Morning Post. Those signals will be collected by nine out of the ten satellites.

While it is extremely difficult to collect the signals near earth due to ionosphere, the mother satellite will be storing the data from the other satellites while orbiting on the far side of the moon.

“The proposal is an innovative alternative to the much more costly and technically challenging route of setting permanent telescopes on the surface of the lunar far side,”&nbsp;Wu Ji, a senior Chinese space scientist, told the South China Morning Post.

China took drastic decisions to stop the spread of COVID-19 cases in the past few months as the country saw one of the worst surges of the year. The authorities implemented lockdowns in a number of areas, and it also affected the transport in and out of the country. However, with the cases going down, the suspension period for inbound international flights carrying Covid-positive passengers has been shortened for the time being. The Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) announced that incoming flights carrying the passengers will face a one-week suspension.

However, the rules will be different if the number of Covid positive passengers exceeded five percent of the total. When the number will be around eight per cent, the CAAC said that the flights will have to be barred for two weeks and it will be the airline’s responsibility to implement it.

The country has been infamous for implementing extremely tough measures in the past and this decision is being considered to be a step towards returning to normalcy.

A German diplomat was arrested by the police in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday for allegedly killing his Belgian husband and trying to cover up the crime. According to the police report, Uwe Herbert Hahn works at the German consulate, and had reported that his&nbsp;husband died on Friday under mysterious circumstances. Hahn said that his husband – Walter Henri Maximilien Biot – collapsed and hit fatally hit his head. However, the police told AFP that the analysis of the victim’s body and the house in Ipanema showed that he was severely beaten and that resulted in his death.

"The version of events given by the consul, that the victim suffered a fall, is incompatible with the conclusions of the forensics report," officer Camila Lourenco said on social media.

"It found various bruises, including on the torso, compatible with injuries inflicted by stomping, as well as lesions compatible with an attack with a cylindrical instrument," she added.

Hahn and Biot were married to each other for 20 years. While not much information was released about the victim, media reports claimed that he was a week away from turning 53.

The police are currently investigating all the evidence in the case, and they believe that despite Hahn saying that the victim was drunk when he fell, the police have not found any supporting proof.

Archie Battersbee, the 12-year-old whose parents made a number of unsuccessful attempts to prevent his life-support system from getting removed, died on Saturday. Hollie Dance, mother of the child who made a number of appeals in British courts as well as the European Court of Human Rights, said that he “fought right until the very end”. “In sadness, Archie passed at 12.15pm today. I would just like to say I am the proudest mum in the world. He was such a beautiful little boy. He fought right until the very end, and I am so proud to be his mum,” she said according to Reuters.

It is quite common to find anomalies around the vast universe and a team of researchers have recently discovered 11 undetected ones with seven of them being potential supernova candidates. In the new study, which was published in ‘New Astronomy’ journal, the team said that the anomalies were detected using the ‘nearest neighbour’ method. It involved the use of artificial intelligence which analysed a number of digital images of the Northern sky which were taken around 2018.

The team of researchers comprised of Matvey Kornilov, Associate Professor of the HSE University Faculty of Physics, according to Phys.org. The researchers said in the paper that they benefited from the increase in data over the last few years and were able to successfully identify the anomalies.

"We described the properties of our simulations using a set of characteristics expected to be observed in real astronomical bodies. In the dataset of approximately a million objects, we were looking for super-powerful supernovae, Type Ia supernovae, Type II supernovae, and tidal disruption events," Konstantin Malanchev, co-author of the paper and postdoc at the University of Illinois, said.

&nbsp;"We refer to such classes of objects as anomalies. They are either very rare, with little-known properties, or appear interesting enough to merit further study," he added in the official statement.

The process implemented by the team included observation of light curves in order to find the anomalies and maintaining data on all neighbouring objects from the earth.

"This is a very good result," comments Maria Pruzhinskaya, a co-author of the paper and research fellow at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute said in the official statement.

"In addition to the already-discovered rare objects, we were able to detect several new ones previously missed by astronomers. This means that existing search algorithms can be improved to avoid missing such objects."
