Comet Approaching Earth Possible Alien Probe, Ivy League Scientist Says Comet Approaching Earth Possible Alien Probe, Ivy League Scientist Says
Comet Approaching Earth Possible Alien Probe, Ivy League Scientist Says A cosmic visitor is stirring up an earthly debate.  A Harvard University astrophysicist has suggested the incoming interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could be an alien probe. But NASA and most astronomers say it’s almost certainly a comet. 3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1, is an interstellar comet discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System station at Río Hurtado, Chile, on Tuesday, July 1. 3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar object to pass through our solar system, meaning it originated beyond it.  The prevailing view classifies it as a comet: an icy body th…

Summer Covid-19 Wave Builds: Nimbus Variant Still Dominant As Stratus Rises Beach trips and heat waves aren’t the only things rising this summer. COVID-19 signals are climbing nationwide, and two Omicron offshoots appear to be leading the charge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday, Aug. 8 upgraded national wastewater viral activity for COVID-19 from “low” to “moderate,” a change that arrives just as families prep for back-to-school.  Nationally, SARS‑CoV‑2 concentrations are up about 30 percent over the last month, with the Gulf Coast roughly double early‑June levels, according to CDC’s National Wastewater Surveillance System.

Tick Bites Can Spark Dangerous Alpha-Gal Syndrome Tick Bites Can Spark Dangerous Alpha-Gal Syndrome
Tick Bites Can Spark Dangerous Alpha-Gal Syndrome A tiny tick bite could trigger a lifelong change to your menu. Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a potentially life-threatening allergy linked to certain ticks — most notably the lone star tick in the United States.  The culprit is a sugar molecule called alpha-gal, found in most mammals but not in humans or primates.  When a tick carrying alpha-gal bites a person, the immune system may respond by producing antibodies that set off allergic reactions to red meat and other products derived from mammals. These reactions can hit hours after eating beef, pork, lamb, venison, or foods and m…

Beef Prices Keep Climbing To New Record Highs: Here's What's Fueling Soaring Costs You may want to savor that next steak. It’s not getting cheaper anytime soon. Beef prices have hit an all-time high in the US, driven by a mix of short supply, steady demand, and mounting costs across the cattle industry. According to the American Farm Bureau and industry economists, the national cattle inventory is now the smallest it’s been since 1951. Many ranchers reduced herd sizes — or left the business entirely — after years of drought, inflation, and rising interest rates made farming unsustainable. Add in strong consumer demand and the result is tight supply pushing prices ever h…
