<p>Australia's favourite spread, Vegemite, has created uproar in a state prison where a convicted murderer is challenging the ban on prisoners having it. He says the decision not to let prisoners have Vegemite "breaches his human right to enjoy his culture as an Australian." The state of Victoria banned the yeast-based spread in 2006 because inmates were using it to mask the smell of narcotics and for its "potential to be used in the production of alcohol." Andre McKechnie has sued Victoria’s Department of Justice and Community Safety and Corrections Victoria, taking it to the Supreme Court of the state over the matter. McKechnie is seeking a court declaration that the department denied him his right under the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act to "enjoy his culture as an Australian."

<p>Our Sun wasn't born as a lone star and, in fact, had several more companions. This theory has been talked about time and again, but what we don't know is how long it stayed with its siblings before drifting away. A new study has tried to answer this question, along with how many other stars were born alongside our Sun billions of years ago. Scientists believe that the Sun collapsed out of a cloud of precursor gas and dust, and it was not alone, and in fact, was part of a litter. Despite being packed closely, they all moved on separate paths. However, they were destined to move away from each other. But in doing so, they made things tough for each other. Whenever two stars moved close to each other, their intense gravity severely disrupted their proto-planetary systems. The objects orbiting at the farthest points suffered the most, with some of them even being thrown out of the system. These events possibly left marks on the edges of the solar system.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/nasa-to-release-3i-atlas-photos-in-a-live-event-on-this-date-1763435602833"><strong>NASA to release 3I/ATLAS photos in a live event on THIS date - ‘We were observing it almost the entire time’</strong></a></p><h2><strong>Did Sun face rough conditions while leaving its birthplace</strong></h2><p>A team led by Amir Siraj of Princeton University tried to decode these scars to answer two questions: the number of stars born near the Sun and the amount of time the Sun spent in its birth cluster. For this, they specifically looked at the "distant sednoids", the nine objects that live at the most distant point from the Sun. The sednoids typically orbit beyond 400 au, but all of them stay on planes that are fairly aligned with the planets. This relatively tight distribution of inclinations led Siraj and his team to conclude that our Sun did not face too much of a rough time as it went about separating from the other stars.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/scientists-suggest-passing-star-rattled-oort-cloud-sending-comets-storming-towards-early-earth-1763122276148"><strong>Scientists suggest passing star rattled Oort Cloud, sending comets storming towards early Earth</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The team simulated many different close flybys and their influence on the distant sednoids, while capping the Sun's stay to be less than or equal to 5 billion years per cubic parsec. Assuming there were only 100 stars per cubic parsec, the scientists concluded that the Sun left the most dangerous part of the cluster within 50 million years. This conclusion led them to state that the sednoids reached their extreme orbits almost immediately after. If this were the case, then the latest finding on how long it took the Sun to leave its siblings becomes quite credible.&nbsp;<br>However, it is not clear why they ended up at such extreme reaches of the solar system.</p>

Our Sun was born from a cosmic cloud of gas and dust that also created other similar stars. But they all were hostile and slowly drifted apart. A study has revealed how long our Sun stayed with its siblings, and it was quite a short time in cosmic years.

Our Sun wasn't born as a lone star and, in fact, had several more companions. This theory has been talked about time and again, but what we don't know is how long it stayed with its siblings before drifting away. A new study has tried to answer this question, along with how many other stars were born alongside our Sun billions of years ago. Scientists believe that the Sun collapsed out of a cloud of precursor gas and dust, and it was not alone, and in fact, was part of a litter. Despite being packed closely, they all moved on separate paths. However, they were destined to move away from each other. But in doing so, they made things tough for each other. Whenever two stars moved close to each other, their intense gravity severely disrupted their proto-planetary systems. The objects orbiting at the farthest points suffered the most, with some of them even being thrown out of the system. These events possibly left marks on the edges of the solar system. Also Read: NASA to release 3I/ATLAS photos in a live event on THIS date - ‘We were observing it almost the entire time’ Did Sun face rough conditions while leaving its birthplace A team led by Amir Siraj of Princeton University tried to decode these scars to answer two questions: the number of stars born near the Sun and the amount of time the Sun spent in its birth cluster. For this, they specifically looked at the "distant sednoids", the nine objects that live at the most distant point from the Sun. The sednoids typically orbit beyond 400 au, but all of them stay on planes that are fairly aligned with the planets. This relatively tight distribution of inclinations led Siraj and his team to conclude that our Sun did not face too much of a rough time as it went about separating from the other stars. Also Read: Scientists suggest passing star rattled Oort Cloud, sending comets storming towards early Earth The team simulated many different close flybys and their influence on the distant sednoids, while capping the Sun's stay to be less than or equal to 5 billion years per cubic parsec. Assuming there were only 100 stars per cubic parsec, the scientists concluded that the Sun left the most dangerous part of the cluster within 50 million years. This conclusion led them to state that the sednoids reached their extreme orbits almost immediately after. If this were the case, then the latest finding on how long it took the Sun to leave its siblings becomes quite credible. However, it is not clear why they ended up at such extreme reaches of the solar system.

Earlier, a huge internal void was discovered in the Great Pyramid of Khufu, along with a corridor near its northern entrance. But the one in Menkaure is evidently different from Khufu.

<p>A pastor in Phoenix is inviting ire for his post on X, where he wrote that “‘single mother’ w****s” don’t deserve a helping hand from Christian churches. Far-right "Christian" pastor Steven Anderson is reportedly known for saying vile things about who does and doesn't deserve Christ's blessings. Earlier this week, he took a shot at single mothers, writing, "I would be pissed off if I donated to a church &amp; found out that they were giving the Lord's money to ‘single mother’ wh***s. I would want it to go to the Lord's work or toward helping godly Christians who are in need. Churches should not be funding fornicators and their b*****ds." (We have starred out the words, his post does not). The pastor didn't stop at this, and days later, he posted a poll about the same. “Should churches give money to 'single mother' w****s to pay for their b*****d children, or should the church's money be used exclusively for the work of the Lord?” 64.8% answered "Yes, fund the fornication," while 35.2% said, "No, don't finance sin."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Phoenix New Times was the first to report on Anderson's X post on single mothers.

Netizens are shocked to see such a post from a pastor that has now gone viral. The publication reported that he has expressed "un-Christian views" in the past as well.

He describes himself as a polyglot, someone who “has read the New Testament cover-to-cover in 17 languages and the entire Bible cover-to-cover in seven languages.” People are wondering how someone who claims to have read the Bible this many times can say such things.

Netizens are shocked to see such a post from a pastor that has now gone viral. The publication reported that he has expressed "un-Christian views" in the past as well. In 2009, he gave a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and apparently "called on his parish to pray for the president's death." About Steven Anderson's church in Phoenix The publication states that Anderson’s Faithful Word Baptist Church used to be located in a strip mall and is now housed in Phoenix’s warehouse district on Van Buren Street and 33rd Avenue. According to one of his X posts, 200 to 300 people attend the church’s services. He describes himself as a polyglot, someone who “has read the New Testament cover-to-cover in 17 languages and the entire Bible cover-to-cover in seven languages.” People are wondering how someone who claims to have read the Bible this many times can say such things. Phoenix New Times reached out to Anderson for a comment, but he did not respond.

<p>Pastor Steven Anderson from Phoenix has stirred controversy after saying that Christian churches should not be giving money to “single mother w****s”. People are shocked to see a pastor with such views on women&nbsp;</p>

<p>China seems to be in a bit of a pickle as three more of its astronauts are now stranded in space.

<p>A city in Sweden has been hiding another city under it for over 400 years and was only recently discovered. Gothenburg, the second-largest city in the country, has revealed the lost Late Middle Ages city of Nya Lödöse. This ancient city started taking shape in the late 1400s and became a ghost town by 1624. According to Arkeologerna, the State Historical Museums, archaeologists found the southern part of Nya Lödöse in the excavations. The city had an earthen rampart, a moat, foundations of a house on the street and a fortified southern gate. Researchers say this city was abandoned not once but twice. In the initial days, it served as an agricultural site, around the late 1400s, while the rampart and moat were likely built around 1530. But around 17 years later, the inhabitants left the city and shifted to Alvsborg.</p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/500-year-old-crypt-under-polish-church-reveals-coffins-covered-in-tar-triggering-a-hunt-for-answers-1763381820212"><strong>500-year-old crypt under Polish church reveals coffins covered in tar, triggering a hunt for answers</strong></a></p><p>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science-tech/20000-year-old-labyrinth-with-3000-rooms-lies-under-egypt-pyramid-9012892"><strong>20,000-year-old labyrinth with 3,000 rooms lies under Egypt pyramid, centuries-old claim resurfaces</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, they returned after a couple of decades to Nya Lödöse and built forts around it. They built the southern entrance again with a stone-paved gate. It acted as a crucial entry point into the city because the main street was north-south and went towards the Säveån River. Archaeologists also unearthed a building here, which might have acted as a tollhouse for the gate, while timber still lined the gate's site. The southern part of the city did not have as much population as the north. But evidence suggests that even so, the houses were nicely built within the rampart and on the main street.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Why was Nya Lödöse abandoned?</strong></h2><p>Excavations also threw light on the life of people here, with ceramics, bones, coins, glass, wooden objects, and tools offering a crucial insight. &nbsp;But then in 1621, Gothenburg was founded nearby and was a better prospect for trading and defence because of the location. By 1624, Nya Lödöse had reached its end. According to the Museum of Gothenburg, even though the new city was under the control of Sweden, the Danish king exercised control over some counties nearby. It had high earthen banks and a moat, which led people to move there. It only took three years for Nya Lödöse to be completely abandoned. Later, Gothenburg's industrial area was built over the lost city in the 1870s.</p>

Archaeologists in Sweden have found a lost city under one of the most bustling industrial cities of the country. Nya Lödöse was abandoned by its residents when the new city was built and became a more promising place for trade and defence.

The city had an earthen rampart, a moat, foundations of a house on the street and a fortified southern gate. Researchers say this city was abandoned not once but twice. In the initial days, it served as an agricultural site, around the late 1400s, while the rampart and moat were likely built around 1530. But around 17 years later, the inhabitants left the city and shifted to Alvsborg.

They built the southern entrance again with a stone-paved gate. It acted as a crucial entry point into the city because the main street was north-south and went towards the Säveån River. Archaeologists also unearthed a building here, which might have acted as a tollhouse for the gate, while timber still lined the gate's site. The southern part of the city did not have as much population as the north. But evidence suggests that even so, the houses were nicely built within the rampart and on the main street. Why was Nya Lödöse abandoned? Excavations also threw light on the life of people here, with ceramics, bones, coins, glass, wooden objects, and tools offering a crucial insight. But then in 1621, Gothenburg was founded nearby and was a better prospect for trading and defence because of the location. By 1624, Nya Lödöse had reached its end. According to the Museum of Gothenburg, even though the new city was under the control of Sweden, the Danish king exercised control over some counties nearby. It had high earthen banks and a moat, which led people to move there. It only took three years for Nya Lödöse to be completely abandoned. Later, Gothenburg's industrial area was built over the lost city in the 1870s.

<p>Archaeologists in Sweden have found a lost city under one of the most bustling industrial cities of the country. Nya Lödöse was abandoned by its residents when the new city was built and became a more promising place for trade and defence.</p>

<p>A sealed crypt under a Polish monastery has revealed something never seen before. Archaeologists wanted to reach this area under the Church of St. John the Baptist and the Five Martyrs in Kazimierz Biskupi. However, there was no passage available to enter it. So they tunnelled their way under the monastery, an endeavour which took more than a month. Once they reached under the church’s altar, they made a surprising discovery. They found three layers of coffins stacked on top of each other in the crypt, with a total of six burials, a translated statement from the Kazimierz Biskupi government mentioned. Metal rods separated one of the layers, and an unusual layer of a fabric and tar mixture was also present on the coffins. Scientists suspect this mixture was likely used as a sealing agent.

<p>Glued to their TV screens, cheering for their favourite trio on a reality TV channel, Australians jumped up in joy as they saw them achieve a new milestone. The three newest stars of Nestflix, a peregrine falcon livestream, spread their wings and took their first flight recently. The livestream shows falcons breeding, raising their young ones and fighting for occupation. It started during the COVID pandemic and acted as a source of connection with the outside world. Australians had been watching the three falcon chicks for weeks, waiting for them to attempt their first flight. They started hatching at the end of September and were seen running around, flapping their wings, since then. They live on top of a 34-storey building in Melbourne. The male chick was expected to fly first, followed by his two sisters a week later. Now they have finally flown, with two of them taking off on their first attempt, with the third crashing back onto the ledge, before making a successful flight.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>How did Peregrine falcon livestream start?</strong></h2><p>According to BirdLife Australia, the chicks are not likely to go great distances for the next few weeks and will stay close to the city, relying on their parents for food. The livestream follows peregrine falcons living on top of fights, cuckolds, births, breakups and earthquakes, courtesy of its stars - the ones who live at the top of the office building at 367 Collins Street. It started in 1991, as the Victorian Peregrine Project to protect the species.

<p>A nest box was placed on the rain gutter around 1992, where three chicks were born. The first birds caught on camera bred there in 1993 to watch the birds and their chicks. Sometimes, you have to see the falcons locked in battle to gain hold of the territory. In 2017, a webcam was installed and "Nestflix" was broadcast live on YouTube. It has exploded to such a scale that there is also a Facebook fan page with more than 50,000 members.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Peregrine falcons engage in battles for territory</strong></h2><p>Over the years, an estimated six or seven different pairs of falcons have occupied the nest. Dr Victor Hurley says that peregrine falcons are extremely territorial and keep their nests at least 1.6km away from each other. This has also led to some spectacular fights over the nesting site as "floaters", peregrines who don't yet have a partner or own territory, have launched raids to gain hold of the nest. There was an instance when a younger falcon fought the original father and replaced him during the incubation period. Typically, he could have eaten the chicks, but instead gave them their first feed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Most Peregrine falcons don't survive the first year&nbsp;</strong></h2><p>These predatory birds had gone nearly extinct in Australia, but have staged a comeback since the 1980s when DDT and other chemicals were banned. They can be seen on the livestream fighting each other for territory. Dr Hurley says these birds have a 60% mortality rate in the first year, which means survival is tough, albeit this is common among predators. Once the new chicks make their first prey, they'll fly away a great distance to avoid inbreeding as they start their own families.</p>

<p>US President Donald Trump on Friday (Nov 14) crashed what was supposed to be a quiet celebration at Mar-a-Lago. The evening took a strange turn when Trump suddenly appeared and drifted straight into the middle of the wedding party and started rambling about how he would make his way into Heaven's pearly gates. A video of the 79-year-old POTUS crashing the private party is going viral on social media. Here's what happened.</p><h2><strong>Trump crashes a wedding. Watch video</strong></h2><p>The controversial US president on Friday crashed a wedding at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago and was seen lecturing the happy couple. As per reports, it began as a quick greeting for the bride and groom but soon veered off in another direction. Trump, while speaking with the happy couple, apparently spotted conservative radio host Eric Metaxas across the room and immediately raised his voice, telling everyone within earshot that Metaxas would be the man to get him into heaven.</p><p>"He's going to get me into heaven!" Trump declared as he grabbed Metaxas’ hand. Metaxas, caught off guard, tried to steer things back to normal. He told Trump that heaven probably wasn’t a topic to unpack in the middle of a friend’s wedding. In a later Instagram post, the 62 year old author said he laughed it off and told Trump, "'I'd really like to talk to you about that… but another time.” Then I reminded him, 'Don't forget—you’re America's Supercentennial President'."</p><p>Watch video here:</p>

<p>Trump didn't seem bothered. After a few more comments, he turned his attention back to the newlyweds, calling them a "good-looking couple" and joking that their photo belonged in a hotel ad. The wedding belonged to Michael Wilkerson, an investment banker who founded Stormwall, a right leaning forum. Wilkerson writes about American identity and politics, and his books often frame the country through a lens of exceptionalism.</p><h2><strong>Trump's love for crashing weddings</strong></h2><p>Apparently, this was not the first time he has done this. Guests at Mar-a-Lago have grown used to Trump drifting into private events, sometimes to offer congratulations and other times to unload whatever is on his mind. In 2021 he wandered into a wedding reception and started talking about Iran. Two years later, in 2023, he showed up at his New Jersey golf club just hours after pleading not guilty in the case tied to his alleged efforts to overturn 2020 election.<br> </p>

A video of US President Donald Trump wandering into a wedding at Mar-a-Lago is going viral online. The POTUS turned a simple greeting into a ramble about getting into heaven. Watch the viral clip here.

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Nov 14) crashed what was supposed to be a quiet celebration at Mar-a-Lago. The evening took a strange turn when Trump suddenly appeared and drifted straight into the middle of the wedding party and started rambling about how he would make his way into Heaven's pearly gates. A video of the 79-year-old POTUS crashing the private party is going viral on social media. Here's what happened. Trump crashes a wedding. Watch video The controversial US president on Friday crashed a wedding at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago and was seen lecturing the happy couple. As per reports, it began as a quick greeting for the bride and groom but soon veered off in another direction. Trump, while speaking with the happy couple, apparently spotted conservative radio host Eric Metaxas across the room and immediately raised his voice, telling everyone within earshot that Metaxas would be the man to get him into heaven. "He's going to get me into heaven!" Trump declared as he grabbed Metaxas’ hand. Metaxas, caught off guard, tried to steer things back to normal. He told Trump that heaven probably wasn’t a topic to unpack in the middle of a friend’s wedding. In a later Instagram post, the 62 year old author said he laughed it off and told Trump, "'I'd really like to talk to you about that… but another time.” Then I reminded him, 'Don't forget—you’re America's Supercentennial President'."
