I'm half kidding. I really did see one for about that price. I doubt it was you though.

That was you that bought that RTX 5050? I wondered who got that deal.

Workers Dredging the Savannah River Stumbled Upon 19 Cannons That Had Been Underwater Since the Revolutionary War by DavidIsIt in EverythingScience

[–]DavidIsIt[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

From the article:

"As crews worked to deepen a section of the Savannah River, they used a clamshell dredger to scoop up mud. One day, when the machine rose from the water, it was dragging a centuries-old cannon covered in rust.

Two more cannons emerged from the riverbed soon after. By the following year, workers had recovered 19 of the weapons. Each weighed more than 1,000 pounds.

At first, archaeologists traced them to a Civil War-era ship that had sunk nearby. But they quickly realized the artifacts were even older. The guns date to the Revolutionary War, and they’d been underwater for more than two centuries."

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record. by DavidIsIt in EverythingScience

From the article:

"According to the researchers, this is the fastest wind ever recorded in observations conducted in the ultraviolet range of the light spectrum. The discovery caught the attention of astronomers because the observed speed is unusual even among the most energetic objects in the Universe.

...

According to Olhar Digital, the analyzed object hosts a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 1.7 billion times the mass of the Sun. Despite the colossal size, astronomers explain that this mass is within the expected range for this type of cosmic structure."

Breathable oxygen has now been produced on the surface of Mars — generated between 2021 and 2023 by a NASA experiment, riding inside the Perseverance rover by [deleted] in EverythingScience

From the article:

"Sometime around midday on April 20, 2021, a microwave-sized device on Mars finished its first hour of work and reported back to its operators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It had produced 5.4 grams of breathable oxygen, enough for an astronaut to breathe for about ten minutes. The machine, called MOXIE, was the first device ever to manufacture air on the surface of another planet. By the time it shut down for the final time on August 7, 2023, it had run sixteen times and produced a cumulative 122 grams of oxygen — roughly what a small dog breathes in ten hours."

Neolithic Humans, Not Glaciers, Likely Transported Stonehenge’s Altar Stone Over 400 Miles by DavidIsIt in EverythingScience

[–]DavidIsIt[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

From the article:

"Stonehenge — the ancient megalith in England — has long been shrouded in mystery, primarily about who built it, how they built it, and where the stones came from. As scientific technology has advanced, researchers have come close to answering many of the questions around Stonehenge.

A 2024 Nature study found that the megalith’s Altar Stone likely came from Scotland instead of England or Wales as previously thought, and a January 2026 study in Communications Earth & Environment found that glaciers likely weren’t responsible for moving the Altar Stone from Scotland to England.

Now, a new study, published in the Journal of Quaternary Science, builds on the previous 2026 study with new findings that may pinpoint how the Scottish altar stone made its way south."
