Underwear, a daily staple for many, has sparked curiosity regarding its design elements, particularly the decorative bows found on women's knickers. While these bows are often seen as cute and feminine, a theory suggests they may have historical roots linked to pre-elastic undergarments, where ribbons were used to secure garments. This notion, however, lacks substantial evidence, as the origins of women's underwear before the 15th century remain largely undocumented. Historical records indicate that women wore various undergarments, such as petticoats and chemises, evolving into more decorative drawers by the 1800s. The term "pair of underpants" is derived from pantalettes, which were split garments tied with drawstrings. Ultimately, the presence of bows may simply be a modern aesthetic choice by manufacturers, reflecting a preference for decorative elements in women's fashion rather than a direct link to historical practices. 
Published: Jul 27 2025, 2 ameznews.inThe enduring fascination with Atlantis, a legendary city first described by Plato nearly 2,400 years ago, has evolved into a modern myth that intertwines with conspiracy theories, pseudoarchaeology, and even white supremacy. Despite its fictional origins as a political allegory about imperialism, the narrative of Atlantis has been misappropriated, leading some to believe in its historical existence. This belief is often fueled by a desire for mystery and escapism, particularly during times of societal turmoil. Archaeologists emphasize that there is no archaeological evidence supporting Atlantis's existence, and the story has been manipulated to promote harmful ideologies. The rise of pseudoarchaeology, which cherry-picks facts to fit narratives, has further complicated the discourse, linking Atlantis to nationalism and racism. Experts advocate for better science communication and media literacy to combat the spread of misinformation surrounding this mythical city.
Published: Jul 27 2025, 1 ameznews.inHollywood's elite are known for their eccentric beauty regimens, with practices ranging from bird droppings to snake venom. The latest trend, however, has taken the bizarre to new heights, as actress Cate Blanchett revealed her secret to youthful skin: a treatment dubbed the "penis facial," officially known as the Hollywood EGF facial. This procedure, offered by New York facialist Georgia Louise, utilizes Epidermal Growth Factor derived from the foreskins of Korean newborns, combined with a cleanse, TCA peel, micro-needling, and an electrifying mask. While stem cell treatments are common in cosmetics, their effectiveness in enhancing radiance remains debated. Blanchett's glowing complexion may be attributed to the entire treatment process rather than the EGF alone. With a two-year waiting list and a price tag of $650 per session, this unusual facial is as exclusive as it is peculiar.

Published: Jul 27 2025, 11 ameznews.inWhile humanity often romanticizes the natural world, a closer look reveals that many animals exhibit troubling behaviors that challenge this idealized view. Sea otters, for instance, are not only known for their adorable hand-holding while sleeping but also for their disturbing acts, including the rape of baby seals and holding otter pups hostage for food. Bottlenose dolphins, often perceived as friendly, have been documented engaging in violent attacks on porpoises, seemingly for amusement, and practicing infanticide to manipulate female reproductive cycles. Even the beloved Adélie penguins have a dark side, with reports of sexual coercion and necrophilia among their ranks. Margays, nocturnal cats, exploit the instincts of their prey by mimicking distressed baby monkeys to lure adult tamarins to their doom. Lastly, chimpanzees, our closest relatives, display brutal behaviors, including infanticide and cannibalism, further complicating the narrative of nature as a realm of innocence.
Published: Jul 27 2025, 8 ameznews.inMark your calendars for July 29, 2025, as two meteor showers will peak simultaneously, offering a dazzling celestial display. The Southern Delta Aquariids, active from July 18 to August 12, are expected to produce seven to eight meteors per hour, with stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere potentially witnessing five to ten meteors hourly, while those in the Southern Hemisphere may see ten to twenty. These meteors travel at 25 miles per second and can be spotted near the constellation Aquarius. Meanwhile, the Alpha Capricornids, visible from July 12 to August 12, will add to the spectacle, albeit with fewer meteors—typically no more than five per hour. Notably, both showers will coincide with the Perseids, which peak on August 12-13 and can generate up to 100 meteors per hour. Stargazers are advised to find dark locations for optimal viewing, as a waxing crescent moon will enhance visibility.

Published: Jul 27 2025, 7 ameznews.inThe "wholphin," a hybrid of a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale, exemplifies the intriguing phenomenon of cetacean hybridization, which has been documented in various forms over recent decades. The first known wholphin was born in 1981 at Tokyo SeaWorld but lived only 200 days. A more successful case, Kekaimalu, was born in 1985 from an unexpected pairing of a male false killer whale and a female Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. Despite the size disparity—bottlenose dolphins average 2 meters while false killer whales can exceed 5 meters—these species often socialize and forage together in the wild. Kekaimalu was fertile, producing at least three offspring with male bottlenose dolphins. Recent discoveries include a hybrid dolphin in Hawaii and a beluga-narwhal hybrid, known as a narluga, found in Greenland, highlighting the ongoing interest in cetacean interbreeding.
Published: Jul 27 2025, 5 ameznews.inForty-six years after Voyager 1's historic flyby of Jupiter, the magnetic data it collected remains a source of fascination, revealing the planet's complex magnetosphere. This region, where Jupiter's powerful magnetic field—16 to 54 times stronger than Earth's—interacts with the solar wind, creates a bow shock akin to a sonic boom. Voyager 1's findings in 1979, which showed a smaller magnetosphere than expected due to intense solar wind, laid the groundwork for subsequent missions, including Juno, which crossed the bow shock in 2016. Juno's observations unveiled even greater complexity, with the magnetosphere extending up to 745 million kilometers behind Jupiter. As scientists continue to study this extreme world, new discoveries, such as previously unseen plasma waves, highlight the ongoing intrigue surrounding Jupiter and its magnetic behavior, underscoring its significance in understanding planetary systems across the universe.
Published: Jul 23 2025, 12 ameznews.inThe International Space Station (ISS) will be visible across the United States over the next few nights, offering a unique opportunity for skywatchers. The ISS, which has been continuously inhabited for nearly 25 years, orbits the Earth every 93 minutes and can be spotted after dusk or before dawn when its solar panels reflect sunlight. In Los Angeles, for instance, it will be visible tonight at 8:43 PM and 10:17 PM PT, with similar sightings expected on July 27 and 28. New Yorkers can catch it at 10:11 PM tonight and 9:22 PM tomorrow. Observers do not need binoculars, as the ISS is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, appearing as a fast-moving white object across the sky. For precise viewing times and directions, official tracking apps are available, ensuring that even those in light-polluted areas can enjoy this celestial spectacle.
