Asteroids frequently pass near Earth, and while most are too small to pose any threat, some can make direct hits. Fortunately, such events often result in these asteroids burning up in the atmosphere. The last significant asteroid impact occurred 66 million years ago, leading to the extinction of most dinosaurs. Though the chances of another similar event are low, NASA and other space agencies are actively monitoring potential threats. They are also developing strategies for deflection in case a dangerous asteroid is on a collision course.

tectonic plate that was thought to be lost for millions of years has been discovered in Borneo by geologists, bringing new insights into Earth’s ancient history. The plate, named Pontus, dates back 120 million years, according to a study led by Suzanna van de Lagemaat, a graduate geologist at Utrecht University, and her supervisor, Douwe van Hinsbergen. The discovery, based on geological data collected from the mountainous regions of Borneo, sheds light on the movements of tectonic plates that once formed part of the Earth’s crust. Van de Lagemaat said, «We thought we were dealing with relics of a lost plate that we already knew about. But our magnetic lab research on those rocks indicated that our finds were originally from much farther north, and had to be remnants of a different, previously unknown plate.»

However, reseller websites prospered as tickets became scarce and grievances flooded social media. Since then, ticket prices have increased by 10 to 20 times on platforms like Viagogo, and many others have taken to social media to sell «extra» tickets they had already bought.
