But what are we even looking at here?]( (NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI) On July 12, NASA shared the debut images from the fully operational James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) — the most powerful space observatory ever built. Among the close-ups of cosmic cliffs and stellar fireworks was an impossibly detailed image known as Webb's first deep field. Brimming with shimmering stars, warped light trails and thousands upon thousands of gem-like galaxies twinkling against the darkness of space, the picture has been touted as the deepest image of the universe ever taken. It is, to put it simply, a lot to take in.

The dropping water levels of the Tiber, which according to Reuters is flowing at multi-year lows, have exposed the stone remains of the Pons Neronianus (Latin for the Bridge of Nero), WION news, a news agency headquartered in New Delhi, India, reported.

Researchers suspect that the groundwater is some of the oldest on the planet, and its chemical interactions with the surrounding rock could offer new insights about energy production and storage in Earth's crust. In fact, Oliver Warr, a research associate in the department of Earth sciences at the University of Toronto in Canada and lead author of a new study about the groundwater discovery, described the location in a statement as a "Pandora's box of helium-and-hydrogen-producing power."

So far this year, about 10,800 monkeypox cases have been detected in places where the virus does not typically spread, such as the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

[] [Someone decapitated a gaggle of geese in Idaho, and wildlife officials seek answers]( [Someone decapitated a gaggle of geese in Idaho, and wildlife officials seek answers]( (Kolby White/Idaho Fish and Game) A grisly and unusual wildlife crime took place in Idaho over July 4th weekend: Someone mowed down a gaggle of Canada geese — including goslings — with a vehicle, and before fleeing the scene, the perpetrator decapitated many of the birds and apparently removed their heads from the site. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) received a call about the geese via their Citizens Against Poaching Hotline, which members of the public can use to anonymously report wildlife violations in the state. The incident occured on Bloomington Bottoms Road, near the city of Bloomington in Bear Lake County, according to an IDFG statement released July 8. "Multiple" adult geese and goslings had been run over in three locations along the road, all within a 200-yard (183 meter) stretch.
