Mars Landing "
Easter Egg"
Perseverance displays a "hidden" message.... (I'd like to joke about it perhaps being for the Illuminati, but someone would probably think I was serious.)
There's also a tiny plaque somewhere in one of the camera's sights that shows a progression of all the various landers in what looks like a parody of the classic "evolution of man" pic.
I saw those pics compared to the family decals you see on car rear windows.
Just in time for the last

Scientists confirm antimatter explosion in Antarctica
Okay, they detected an antineutrino coming in at 6.3 PeV in their IceCube detector. But that's a lot for a tiny neutrino!
lainga on Hacker News Wrote:6.3 PeV - that's crazy! Wolfram Alpha tells me that'd be about enough energy as work to depress a key on a keyboard.
Wait, an anti neutrino. I wasn't aware they were even possible, given how neutrinos have no charge.
Still no charge, but opposite spin I guess? Though I don't know how yoiu could tell until it annihilated against a normal one, which given thee size and speed they tend to be moving at probably makes the sighting a very rare chance indeed...
Wider spread Denisovan ancestry in SE Asia
(link is to abstract - it's paywalled)
Short pop sci summary of findings
Genetic analysis of inhabitants of SE Asia islands indicated 3 separate Denisovan/Homo Sapiens hybridization events. The original Siberian one, then a SE Asia one, and finally New Guinea. The New Guinea event was between 15-30K years ago, and therefore Denisovans may have been the longest lasting cousin to us. No positive signs of hybridization with either of the other homo species in the area (H. floresiensis or H. luzonensis) - there may have been something, but it was barely above background, so not significant.
Earth appears to have an additioonal hidden layer in the core.

This was alluded to in the Youtube video Norgarth posted.
The Large Low-Shear Velocity Provinces (about 6% of the mantle) may be remnants of Theia, the believed proto-planet that impacted Earth and formed the Moon.
