Native Americans
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fscience-environment-42555577
Citando:
"The 11,500-year-old remains of an infant girl from Alaska have shed new light on the peopling of the Americas.
Genetic analysis of the child, allied to other data, indicates she belonged to a previously unknown, ancient group.
Scientists say what they have learnt from her DNA strongly supports the idea that a single wave of migrants moved into the continent from Siberia just over 20,000 years ago.
Lower sea-levels back then would have created dry land in the Bering Strait.
It would have submerged again only as northern ice sheets melted and retreated.
The pioneering settlers became the ancestors of all today's Native Americans, say Prof Eske Willerslev and colleagues. His team has published its genetics assessment in the journal Nature."

Salvador Sobral e Euronews
https://espalhafactos.com/2017/12/31/salvador-sobral-vence-adele/
Citando:
"O canal paneuropeu promoveu uma votação com as figuras do ano e, no campo cultural, o domínio do vencedor da Eurovisão foi avassalador. O português conquistou 63% dos votos, deixando para trás os realizadores do filme sobre Van Gogh, Dorota Kobiela e Hugh Welchman (12%), Kazuo Ishiguro (11%), Adele (9%) e Hito Steyerl (4%).
Além da vitória no concurso musical, Salvador é destacado pelos jornalistas da Euronews por ser um “ativista comprometido“. Nomeadamente com a causa dos refugiados, para a qual chamou a atenção durante a conferência de imprensa dos vencedores da semifinal do Festival Eurovisão, ao usar uma t-shirt com a inscrição SOS Refugees.
Além disso, o canal de televisão destaca a doação dos lucros da venda do seu álbum Excuse às vítimas de Pedrógão Grande, a participação no concerto solidário Juntos por Todos e o facto de ter conseguido, no fim do ano, receber um transplante de coração."
E a pontuação máxima de sempre:

Citando:
"Amar Pelos Dois conquistou 758 pontos. Seguiram-se Bulgária (615) e Moldávia (374) na tabela classificativa. A canção da autoria de Luísa Sobral conquistou a pontuação máxima do televoto em 12 países e a dos jurados em 18 ocasiões."

Baltic sea normal anomaly
https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/862739/Baltic-Sea-Anomaly-ufo-alien-ice-age-glacier
Citando:
""Possibly these rocks were transported there by glaciers."
The 26ft tall object was discovered by Swedish explorer Peter Lindberg and his Ocean X team of marine explorers during a dive searching for a shipwreck.
Despite the findings from Mr Brüchert, Ocean X maintain that it is not a natural structure.
Stefan Hogerborn, part of the Ocean X team, said their electrical equipment stopped working when they got to within 200 metres of the anomaly on the Baltic seabed."

Planos para a NASA nos próximos anos

Parte interessante:
"But would-be space entrepreneurs have run into regulatory hurdles, namely the Outer Space Treaty, signed in 1967, which holds that no country can claim a celestial body, and that governments supervise non-governmental organizations – like businesses – in space. In 2015, Obama signed a law that gave companies “space resource rights”, and earlier this year members of Congress proposed creating an “Office of Space Commerce”. But for now the legislation, like hopes to mine asteroids, remains far ahead of the actual technology."

"“Infinity and beyond!” Aldrin joked to the president in June.
“This is infinity here,” Trump replied. “It could be infinity. We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something. But it could be infinity, right?”"

Embrião com 25 anos?
Movimentos tectónicos

Citando:
"You may think that plates that sink deep into the mantle just melt -- but in fact, they stick around for a long time and can sink as deep as 3000km, explained van Hinsbergen. The catalogue is "the first and extensive global framework for interpretation of present-day global mantle structure and its physical properties and how that relates to our planet's dynamic evolution of the past 300 [million years]," according to the paper."

Fósseis mais antigos?
3,5 mil milhões de anos (início da vida na terra?):
http://www.mirror.co.uk/science/scientists-find-oldest-fossils-ever-11718073
Citando:
"Prof Valley's team was able to tease apart the carbon-12 from the carbon-13 within each fossil and measure the ratio of the two compared to a known carbon isotope standard and a fossil-less section of the rock in which they were found.
He said: "The differences in carbon isotope ratios correlate with their shapes.
"If they're not biological there is no reason for such a correlation. Their C-13-to-C-12 ratios are characteristic of biology and metabolic function," Prof Valley, said, based on this information, the researchers were also able to assign identities and likely physiological behaviours to the fossils locked inside the rock."
