A blue-eyed boy buried in southern Germany more than 1,300 years ago was interred with rare riches — including a small sword, silk clothes and a gold cross — indicating that he came from a wealthy local family before he died of an infection at about 18 months old, a new analysis finds. The remains of the child, dubbed the "Ice Prince" because archaeologists flash froze the burial chamber to excavate its contents in a single block, were discovered in 2021 near the town of Mattsies in Bavaria.

L’analyse des données d’observation de la sonde spatiale Cassini, qui a exploré le système saturnien de 2004 à 2017, a indiqué que le mouvement d’oscillation de Mimas alors qu’elle gravite autour de Saturne, un phénomène que les astronomes nomment libration, était dû à la présence d'un océan liquide sous sa surface.

A cave in Israel once thought to be linked to Jesus may in fact be the burial place of another person from his time: Salome, the sister of the Judaean king Herod the Great, a new study finds. The idea is based on the ornaments and architecture of the site, which archaeologists say indicate that a member of the Herodian royal family may have been buried there in the first century B.C.; Judaea at that time was a client kingdom of the Roman Empire.
