Scientist Suggests Tests to See if Large Object Headed Toward Earth Could Be an Alien Spacecraft

Earlier this month, astronomers made a fascinating discovery: a mysterious object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, with interstellar origins hurtling through the solar system at extreme speeds. As scientists are racing to get a better understanding of the extremely rare visitor — it's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system — some intriguing theories have emerged. One particularly eyebrow-raising possibility beyond it being either a comet or an asteroid, as championed by Harvard astronomer and alien hunter Avi Loeb, is that 3I/ATLAS was sent to us by an intelligent, extraterrestrial civilization. In a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, Loeb analyzed [...]

Canine Hot Spots: Understanding, Treating, and Preventing Summer Skin Woes

As summer approaches, dog owners may notice their furry friends developing hot spots, a common and often painful skin condition. This raises questions about what causes these lesions, how they are treated, and most importantly, how to prevent them in the first place. "Many pet owners see a hot spot and think it's just a surface irritation, but it's often a symptom of something deeper, like an allergy or even an ear infection," says Ivan Ravera, a clinical assistant professor of veterinary dermatology at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.
