- 2,000-year-old sarcophagus opened: Well-preserved burial found in Tomb of Cerberus
For the first time in over 2,000 years, the contents of the sealed sarcophagus inside the Tomb of Cerberus have been revealed. This vividly frescoed chamber tomb was discovered last year in Giugliano, near Naples. Using a microcamera, researchers managed to peer into the sarcophagus, revealing a supine body covered by a shroud, surrounded by The post 2,000-year-old sarcophagus opened: Well-preserved burial found in Tomb of Cerberus appeared first on Archaeology News Online Magazine.
- Stellar magnetism may influence exoplanet habitability
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 24, 2024 The pursuit of discovering life beyond our solar system has heightened interest in Earth-like planets within the habitable zone of their stars. However, the habitability of these exoplanets is affected by more than just their distance from the star. A new study by Rice University's David Alexander and Anthony Atkinson broadens the definition of a habitable zone to include the star's magnet
