Place halved tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30–35 minutes until slightly charred and softened. In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for 5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in sugar and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and add fresh basil. Blend the soup using an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a blender in batches) until smooth. Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream.

Earth’s 27.5-Million-Year Pulse: The Planet’s Mysterious Rhythmic Upheaval Scientists have uncovered something astonishing: Earth seems to operate on a hidden clock. Every 27.5 million years, our planet goes through a powerful geological reset — a "heartbeat" that triggers mass extinctions, giant volcanic eruptions, tectonic shifts, and dramatic sea-level changes. In a study published in Geoscience Frontiers, researchers analyzed 89 major geological events over the past 260 million years. The result? These catastrophic moments don’t happen randomly — they occur in predictable clusters, spaced out like rhythmic pulses in deep time. What Happens During These Pulses? Global mass extinctions (land and sea) Supervolcanic eruptions (like continental flood basalts) Oxygen-starved oceans (anoxic events) Rising or falling sea levels tied to climate shifts Massive tectonic reorganizations This isn't a brand-new theory — as early as the 1920s, scientists suspected a 30-million-year cycle. But now, with more data and advanced analysis, 27.5 million years has emerged as the most consistent interval. It’s a stunning idea: that Earth’s most violent transformations follow a deep, cosmic rhythm — a geological metronome shaping life, death, and rebirth across eons. Source: Rampino, M.R. et al.

This breathtaking image of Jupiter was captured on October 27, 2024, during the Juno spacecraft’s 66th close approach—also called a perijove—to the gas giant. The raw data collected by Juno was transformed into this stunning visual by dedicated citizen scientists, who processed and enhanced the imagery to reveal the planet’s mesmerizing swirls and storm systems. By adjusting contrast and blending various wavelengths of light, they unveiled incredible atmospheric detail far beyond what’s visible in natural color—turning Jupiter’s usual cappuccino tones into a dramatic display of swirling clouds. In this image, you can spot a mix of large and small atmospheric vortices—some spinning solo, others merging and interacting in complex patterns. These dynamic features reflect the ever-shifting nature of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere. Beyond their beauty, these visuals are scientifically powerful. Juno’s mission is to explore Jupiter’s atmosphere in greater depth than ever before—uncovering the mechanisms behind its fierce storms, jet streams, and immense weather systems.
