Colouring rivers green as a form of environmental activism is a visually striking and attention-grabbing tactic used by activists to raise awareness about water pollution and ecological issues. But it is not known whether Sunday morning when water in the Venice canal turned luminous green, was a part of that activism or something else.&nbsp;

The colouration has given Venetians a startling sight as authorities in the area have taken water samples and started a quick investigation to understand what caused the canal to turn green on Sunday morning.&nbsp;

There are several theories on what may have caused the water around the well-known Rialto Bridge to change colour. They include everything from a dye leak to an environmental activist demonstration.

<h2>CCTV being reviewed&nbsp;</h2>

Local police were reportedly reviewing CCTV to see whether the release may have been a publicity ploy for the Volgalonga regatta, which is taking place this weekend, according to Italian media reports.

The Volgalonga Regatta is an annual rowing race that takes place in Venice, Italy. The regatta attracts participants from various rowing clubs and associations and follows a course that stretches along the Venetian lagoon, including the Grand Canal and other scenic waterways of Venice.&nbsp;

Participants row in traditional Venetian boats known as "gondolini," which are similar in design to the iconic gondolas but are smaller and lighter for racing purposes.

<h2>Grand Canal in green&nbsp;</h2>

Many social media users claimed that the photos pouring out of Venice reminded them of the 1968 eco-awareness action by Argentine artist Nicolás Garca Uriburu, a prominent environmental artist known for his activism and use of vibrant colours in his work.

During the 1968 Venice Biennale festival, Uriburu used an environmentally safe green dye to colour the waters of the Grand Canal, creating a visually striking spectacle that aimed to draw attention to pollution and ecological issues.

Mysterious! Parts of Venice canal turn fluorescent green, locals stunned

In Pics | 'Gummy squirrel’ and thousands of mysterious deep-sea species discovered

Scientists have detected a “strange” sound of “completely unknown origin” from Earther’s upper atmosphere —the stratosphere.

The sound was recorded by large 6-7-metre-long solar balloons carrying a microphone that was sent by a team of researchers from Sandia National Laboratories, US.

The stratosphere region— found around 31 miles (50 km) above the planet—is relatively calm and free of storms, turbulence and commercial air traffic.

But the scientists were left baffled when they heard through the microphone mysterious sounds that are said to have been repeated a few times per hour.

The sounds recorded were in the infrasound range, which is at the frequency range of 20 hertz (Hz) and lower, and well below the range of the human ears. The source is yet to be identified.

"There are mysterious infrasound signals that occur a few times per hour on some flights, but the source of these is completely unknown," Daniel Bowman of Sandia National Laboratories said in a statement.

The research team used a sound gathering device called microbarometers that are capable of detecting detect low-frequency sounds. It was initially designed to monitor volcanoes.

These sensors were carried aloft by balloons that the researchers built from common and inexpensive materials.

These solar balloons are powered by sunlight and have the capability to climb to altitudes of around 70,000 feet (13.3 miles) over Earth.&nbsp;

After the launch, the balloons were tracked using GPS, because they can often fly for hundreds of kilometres and may land in difficult terrains of the planet posing a challenge to locate it.

"Our balloons are basically giant plastic bags with some charcoal dust on the inside to make them dark," Bowman was quoted as saying by the CNN.

"We build them using painter's plastic from the hardware store, shipping tape, and charcoal powder from pyrotechnic supply stores. When the sun shines on the dark balloons, the air inside heats up and becomes buoyant."

Though the solar balloons offer greater access to record noise levels at lower frequency ranges since the whole Earth is accessible, they also present challenges for researchers. The stratosphere is a harsh environment with wild temperature fluctuations between heat and cold.

“Solar balloons are a bit sluggish, and we’ve wrecked a few on bushes when trying to launch them,” Bowman said.

“We’ve had to hike down into canyons and across mountains to get our payloads. Once, our Oklahoma State colleagues actually had a balloon land in a field, spend the night, and launch itself back in the air to fly another whole day!”

Mysterious sounds recorded at Earth’s stratosphere leaves scientists puzzled

Secrets and unknown species abound in the waters of Earth's oceans. Among these mysterious species is one worm detected by scientists in 2020. Its iridescent colours reminded the discoverers so much of the king of rock'n'roll that they nicknamed it the "Elvis worm".

The sparkling Peinaleopolynoe&nbsp;were discovered 4,000 metres or 13,000 feet underwater in some of the Pacific ocean's deepest hydrothermal vents.

Because of their shimmering scales, which are reminiscent of the sequined jumpsuits worn by Elvis Presley, they have been referred to as "Elvis worms"&nbsp;for years.

Their name Peinaleopolynoe is derived from the Greek word peinaléos, which means hungry or famished. According to the Guardian, the hungry scale-worms got their name because the first time they were seen, they were gathered around a pile of food that researchers had left on the deep-sea floor as something of an experiment.

Avery Hiley, a graduate researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, while talking to Guardian said,&nbsp;"You'll see little pink sparkly worms, blue ones, red ones, black ones, and white ones."

(Image credits: Oceanfilly/Twitter)

The sparkly pink one is the one nicknamed "Elvis" worm by Hiley and her colleagues. They initially thought that there were multiple species of the worm but genetics test results found that it is one species that changes colours as "it develops from a juvenile to an adult form."

Scale worms have been discovered on whale carcasses, volcanic seamounts, hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, etc., all habitats that house chemical-harnessing bacteria.

"They have jaws, which we suspect they use to graze bacteria," Hiley explains, adding that they believe the worms are bacteriovores.

Mysteries of the ocean: Iridescent 'Elvis' worms that shimmer found thousands of feet underwater

More than 1,000 probable cases of unknown severe acute hepatitis have been detected in children and as many as 22 have died since the disease was discovered in on April 5, the World Health Organisation has said "As of 8 July 2022, 35 countries in five WHO Regions have reported 1010 probable cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown aetiology in children, which fulfill the WHO case definition, including 22 deaths. Since the previous Disease Outbreak News published on 24 June 2022, 90 new probable cases and four additional deaths have been reported to WHO,” the UN health agency said in its update on Wednesday. “Additionally, two new countries, Luxembourg and Costa Rica, have reported probable cases."

Out of those five regions, almost half, i.e., 48 per cent of the probable cases have been reported from the European countries, in which 21 countries have registered 484 cases, the WHO said. Of those, UK and Northern Ireland combined have found 272 cases.

The second highest number of probable cases have been reported from the American continent, including 334 cases from the United States of America, followed by the Western Pacific Region (70 cases), the South-East Asia region (19) and the Eastern Mediterranean region (2).

Seventeen countries are reporting more than five probable cases, with the WHO suspecting it to be a case of undercounting due to limited enhanced surveillance systems.

“The actual number of cases may be underestimated, in part due to the limited enhanced surveillance systems in place. The case count is expected to change as more information and verified data become available,” the agency said.

It said that it is closely monitoring the unexplained spread of hepatitis in previously healthy children, of which almost dozens are in need of life-saving liver transplants.

While analysing the laboratory tests, WHO said that hepatitis A to E had not been present in the affected children. Other pathogens such as the coronavirus were detected in a number of cases, but the data is incomplete, the UN health agency said.

With more than 1,000 cases, WHO perplexed over mysterious acute hepatitis outbreak among kids

Stonehenge in itself is a mystery. The 5000-year-old structure in England baffles us as to how ancient humans would have been able to arrange stone slabs weighing tonnes, without any of the modern machinery. Some even say that only aliens are capable of building such a structure.

Now a network of mysterious pits has been found associated with Stonehenge. The pits were revealed after an archaeological 'biopsy' of the region surrounding Stonehenge. This study is the largest electromagnetic induction survey of the region.

The survey has revealed hundreds of large pits. Each of these pits is 2.4 meters (7.8 ft) wide. Scientists think that at least some of these pits are human-made.

"By combining new geophysical survey techniques with coring, and pinpoint excavation, the team has revealed some of the earliest evidence of human activity yet unearthed in the Stonehenge landscape," says archaeologist Nick Snashall, who works for the Stonehenge &amp; Avebury World Heritage Site. Snashall was quoted by University of Birmingham.

There are no clear and decisive clues as to what was the exact use of these pits. Scientists have not yet been able to pinpoint the utilitarian purpose of these pits. But they think that pits were associated with "long-term ceremonial structuring" of Stonehenge.

Mysterious network of pits found near Stonehenge in England

A mysterious liver disease has caused the death of three children in Indonesia, the health ministry of the country said. &nbsp;

The deaths have taken the global toll to at least four. &nbsp;

In recent weeks, a severe type of acute hepatitis has been found in around 170 children across 11 countries, media reports said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised concerns over this ailment of “unknown origin”. &nbsp;

Before signs of liver inflammation, the symptoms include vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. &nbsp;

Earlier, one death was reported. &nbsp;

Last month, three children died in hospitals in Jakarta after displaying some symptoms, said health ministry of Indonesia. &nbsp;
