Worldwide Geo-localization aims to pinpoint the precise location of images taken anywhere on Earth. This task has considerable challenges due to the immense variation in geographic landscapes. The image-to-image retrieval-based approaches fail to solve this problem on a global scale as it is not feasible to construct a large gallery of images covering the entire world. Instead, existing approaches divide the globe into discrete geographic cells, transforming the problem into a classification task. However, their performance is limited by the predefined classes and often results in inaccurate localizations when an image's location significantly deviates from its class center.

Crews living 250 miles above the Earth still keep the holiday spirit alive. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For the past 25 years, an intrepid group of astronauts have spent the holidays 250 miles above the Earth. The crew living and working aboard the International Space Station (ISS) get to eat their turkey (but can't drink seltzer or use salt) and open presents while traveling 17,500 miles per hour and circling their home planet every 90 minutes. Despite that unique vantage, the celebrations often look quite similar to how they would here on Earth.

In 1996 Nasa and the White House made the explosive announcement that the rock contained traces of Martian bugs. The meteorite, catalogued as Allen Hills (ALH) 84001, crashed onto the frozen wastes of Antarctica 13,000 years ago and was recovered in 1984. Photographs were released showing elongated segmented objects that appeared strikingly lifelike.

Aspiring California Governor Katie Porter admits she is a bully then shows ANOTHER flash of impatience at reporter's questions Flat Earthers have travelled to Antarctica and even attempted to fly to space in homemade rockets in their quest to prove the world is really a flat disc. But you don't need to go anywhere near as far to prove that they are wrong. As one citizen scientist recently showed, you can prove that the world is round without leaving the comfort of your own home. All you need is a security camera, a garage, and some time to pull off this elegant experiment yourself.

Analyses of its emissions using NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory indicate that the interstellar comet probably has a very different structure than comets in the solar system. Comet 3I/Atlas continues to be full of surprises. As well as being only the third interstellar object ever detected, new analysis shows it is producing hydroxyl (OH) emissions, with these compounds betraying the presence of water on its surface. This discovery was made by a team of researchers at Auburn University in Alabama using NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and was described in a study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . Hydroxyl compounds are detectable via the ultraviolet signature they produce.

Amino acids may not have arrived on big space rocks after all. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The scientific community is largely divided into two camps regarding the origins of life on Earth. On one side, the idea that life spontaneously stemmed from the planet's primordial soup of amino acids and organic molecules . On the other side, life arrived after hitching a ride on interstellar debris .

Jackie (short for jack-o'-lantern) owes her unique colors to a mixture of chemical compounds. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. A rare and seasonally-colored lobster is joining spiders, bats, and even some oozing fungi as some of nature's best Halloween ambassadors. Jackie is a calico lobster and the odds of catching a crustacean like this are about one-in-20 million, according to the Marine Science Center outreach coordinator Sierra Munoz. This makes Jackie even more rare than the center's other recent star, Neptune the blue lobster .

Earth's turbulent atmosphere makes it hard to detect new planets from the ground. Astronomer Rebecca Jensen-Clem is working out how to find them anyway. The pendant on Rebecca Jensen-Clem's necklace is only about an inch wide, composed of 36 silver hexagons entwined in a honeycomb mosaic. At the Keck Observatory, in Hawaii, just as many segments make up a mirror that spans 33 feet, reflecting images of uncharted worlds for her to study. Jensen-Clem, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, works with the Keck Observatory to figure out how to detect new planets without leaving our own. Typically, this pursuit faces an array of obstacles: Wind, fluctuations in atmospheric density and temperature, or even a misaligned telescope mirror can create a glare from a star's light that obscures the view of what's around it, rendering any planets orbiting the star effectively invisible.

The endangered baby Komodo dragons were recently born at ZooTampa. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Though Komodo Dragons () live only on a few Indonesian islands --including the aptly named island of Komodo--they're pretty famous reptiles . That's because they are the largest and heaviest lizards in the world, growing up to eight to ten feet long and weighing between 100 and 150 pounds on average. With a forked tongue, long claws, and a strong venomous bite, they certainly live up to their mythological name.

The 9.8-foot (three metre) space rock, dubbed 2025 TF, flew over Antarctica in the early hours of October 1. Passing at an altitude of just 265 miles (428 kilometres), the rock came closer to the Earth's surface than the orbit of the International Space Station . However, space agencies only realised the near-miss had occurred when the asteroid was detected by the Catalina Sky Survey a few hours later.
