Pope Francis has died on Easter Monday aged 88 At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words: "Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God." originally posted at

A unique window into the past, the ancient critter has allowed experts a chance to better understand evolutionary links between the arthropods of the past and those of the present day. originally posted at
Sunbird rocket shocked scientists by becoming the fastest object in history A new chapter in space revolution is about to begin with something we never would have thought of. A British company called Pulsar Fusion has presented a project that is nothing short of ambitious: a nuclear fusion rocket they have nicknamed Sunbird. This rocket is capable of reaching 800,000 km/h and, according to their calculations, it could reduce the trip to Mars by more than half the time, going from the current estimated 7–10 months to just around 4 months. We’ll tell you everything this feat involves and how it may be that we’re witnessing the future of space travel! originally posted at
