Astronomers have recently made an exciting discovery in the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune consisting of icy bodies in the outer solar system. They have found a large, flat-topped mound of material that is approximately 300 kilometers wide and 1.5 kilometers high. This mound, known as Arrokoth, is believed to be made up of two separate objects that collided and merged together in the distant past. It is the most distant and most primitive object that has been explored in our solar system, and its discovery provides insight into the formation of our solar system billions of years ago.

Today, historians are rethinking their ideas about gender roles and identities in Anglo-Saxon England. Archaeologists have been excavating a series of early Anglo-Saxon burials in East Anglia, and their findings suggest that gender roles in the Anglo-Saxon period may have been more fluid than previously thought. These burials include both men and women buried with weapons and jewelry, suggesting that they may have held similar positions in society. Additionally, some of the burials contain items associated with both genders, indicating that gender roles were not strictly divided.
