Graves belonging to members of the Knights Templar – a mysterious holy militia that sprang up in the 12th century – have been uncovered at an English village church in one of the ‘most nationally important discoveries’ of its kind.

When the Hubble Space Telescope launched, we soon learned its images were blurry. Engineers had to build the equivalent of eyeglasses for it. Were there any such problems with J.W.S.T. early on, given its very complicated deployment?
Because of the way it worked, when Hubble went up in space, the optics had to be perfect. For J.W.S.T., we launched mirrors that were able to fix themselves. There are eighteen primary mirror segments—those beautiful gold hexagons—and the idea is that you

A small slave badge engraved with the year ‘1853’ that was discovered in Charleston, South Carolina earlier this year is one of Archaeology Magazine’s top 10 discoveries in 2021.
The square, copper item served as a permit, allowing the servant to work in the city and away from their owner who paid anywhere from $10 to $35 for the tag.
The badge made Archaeology Magazine’s list because Charleston was the only US location to provide the working permit, making the
In 1798, Napoleon, with some four hundred ships, set sail across the Mediterranean, bound for Egypt. He had a practical purpose: he wanted to kick the English out of the eastern Mediterranean and block their lucrative trade with India. But he was also interested in Egypt itself, which his idol Alexander the Great had conquered in 332 B.C. By the nineteenth century, Egypt was no longer the glamorous prize it had been for Alexander.
