A A new analysis of seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight mission has revealed a couple of surprises The first surprise: the top 300 meters of the subsurface beneath the landing site near the Martian equator contains little or no ice. "We find that Mars' crust is weak and porous. The sediments are not well-cemented. And there's no ice or not much ice filling the pore spaces," said geophysicist Vashan Wright of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. Wright and three co-authors published their analysis in Geophysical Research Letters. "These findings don't preclude that there could be grains of ice or small balls of ice that are not cementing other minerals together," said Wright. "The question is how likely is ice to be present in that form?" The second surprise contradicts a leading idea about what happened to the water on Mars. The red planet may have harbored oceans of water early in its history. Ma...

Uganda's gold Recent exploration surveys in Uganda have led to the discovery of approximately 31 million tons of gold ore deposits, from which an estimated 320,158 tons of refined gold could potentially be extracted, with its value currently standing at $12.8 trillion. The results were announced following two years of aerial exploration followed by geophysical and geochemical surveys and analyses. Announced in June by Solomon Muyita, a spokesperson for Uganda’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, the country is seeking to attract international gold mining companies and investors, having already licensed Chinese gold mining firm, Wagagai, to start production in the country’s eastern Busia District this year.

The Bermuda Triangle, otherwise called the Devil's Triangle, is a metropolitan legend zeroed in on an approximately characterized locale in the western piece of the North Atlantic Ocean where various airplane and boats are said to have vanished under baffling conditions. The possibility of the area as particularly inclined to vanishings emerged during the twentieth 100 years, yet most respectable sources excuse the possibility that there is any secret. The earliest idea of surprising vanishings in the Bermuda region showed up in a September 17, 1950, article distributed in The Miami Herald (Associated Press) by Edward Van Winkle Jones. After two years, Fate magazine distributed "Ocean Mystery at Our Back Door", a short article by George Sand covering the deficiency of a few planes and ships, including the deficiency of Flight 19, a gathering of five US Navy Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo aircraft on a preparation mission. Sand's article was the first to sprea...

Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) is in the Western Region of Uganda, traversing the locale of Kasese, Kamwenge, Rubirizi, and Rukungiri. The recreation area is roughly 400 kilometers (250 mi) by street south-west of Kampala, Uganda's capital and biggest city. The city of Kasese misleads the upper east of the recreation area, while the town of Rubirizi is toward the southeast. The recreation area abuts Kyambura Game Reserve toward the east, which itself appends the Kigezi Game Reserve (counting the Maramagambo Forest) and accordingly the Kibale National Park toward the upper east. The Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo lies across the boundary toward the west. Together, these safeguarded puts totally encompass Lake Edward. The Rwenzori Mountains National Park in Uganda lies not far toward the northwest. Confusingly, during the 1970s and 1980s, Western traditionalists normally alluded to the recreation area as Rwenzori National P...

The Nile is a significant north-streaming waterway in northeastern Africa. It streams into the Mediterranean Sea. The longest stream in Africa, it has generally been viewed as the longest stream on the planet, however this has been challenged by research proposing that the Amazon River is marginally longer. Of the world's significant streams, the Nile is one of the littlest, as estimated by yearly stream in cubic meters of water. Around 6,650 km (4,130 mi) long, its waste bowl covers eleven nations: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Republic of the Sudan, and Egypt. Specifically, the Nile is the essential water wellspring of Egypt, Sudan and South Sudan. Moreover, the Nile is a significant monetary stream, supporting horticulture and fishing.Location Nations Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi Significant urban areas Jinja, Juba, Kha...
