G7 meeting in France
Trump claims Meloni begged for photo: “Completely fabricated”

Donald Trump claims that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni begged and asked to take a photo with him during the G7 meeting.

– She wanted so much to have a photo with me. I hadn’t actually taken it, but I felt sorry for her, Trump told Italian TV channel La7.

Meloni is now hitting back at the claim, calling it a fabricated story, Reuters reports.

– Donald Trump’s statements are completely fabricated. I am honestly surprised. I don’t know why the US president behaves like this towards his allies. It’s not the first time, Meloni says in a statement.

As a result of Trump’s statements, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled a planned trip to the US, according to CNN.

Earth's "black box" to be built this year

The construction of the Earth's "black box" has begun and the idea is that the 16-meter-long steel structure will be completed on the island of Tasmania in Australia in December. This is reported by The Guardian.

There, information will be collected and stored to be able to give the future a clear picture of what happened - in the event of a climate apocalypse.

"Hundreds of datasets, measurements and interactions related to the health of our planet will be collected continuously and stored securely for future generations," says the organization Rouser Labs' website.

The project was noticed at the end of 2021 and the construction was originally planned to be carried out during the following year.

Scientists Trace “Ghost Particles” to “Shadow Blaster”

Astronomers have managed to trace so-called “ghost particles,” or neutrinos, back to the “Shadow Blaster” – a galaxy 11 billion light-years from Earth.

It is the most concrete observation made so far that indicates that star-forming galaxies have played a major role in filling the universe with the “ghost particles.”

“The Shadow Blaster has the type of dense and gas-rich environment that theoretical models have long pointed out as particularly effective for producing high-energy neutrinos,” says Yuji Urata of MITOS Science Co in Taiwan, which is behind the research.

The environment can therefore act as a natural particle accelerator. It is therefore believed that the star-forming galaxies that were common 10 billion years ago accounted for a large amount of the neutrinos that scientists find today.
