As Thanksgiving approaches, many turkeys face an unfortunate fate at the dinner table, but the question arises: why don’t we eat turkey eggs? In the wild, turkey hens lay a clutch of nine to 13 eggs every 24 to 32 hours, but this yield is not sufficient for commercial farming. With around 2,500 turkey farms in the U.S., the slower egg-laying rate—taking up to 32 hours per egg compared to a chicken's near-daily production—and the longer maturation period of seven months make turkey farming less economically viable for egg production. While turkey eggs are edible and reportedly taste similar to chicken eggs, they are larger with tougher shells, making them less appealing for mass production. Ultimately, the financial and logistical challenges of raising turkeys for eggs overshadow their culinary potential, leaving chicken eggs as the dominant choice in the market. 
Published: Oct 03 2025, 11 pmeznews.inThe Shojinmeat Project, an innovative initiative based in Tokyo, envisions a future where home cooks can grow cell-cultured chicken cutlets using compact meat-making machines. Founded by Yuki Hanyu, a scientist with a passion for cultured meat since childhood, the project aims to merge traditional Japanese Buddhist culinary principles with cutting-edge technology. Hanyu's company, IntegriCulture, is developing user-friendly devices that allow individuals to cultivate meat at home, requiring only basic materials and a small bioreactor. While the process has shown promise, with successful lab-grown meat from various animal cells, consumer acceptance remains uncertain; a 2024 poll revealed that a third of Americans are hesitant to try cultivated chicken. Additionally, environmental concerns linger, as some studies suggest that large-scale production of lab-grown meat could produce significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than traditional beef farming.
Published: Oct 03 2025, 10 pmeznews.inIn Kyle, Texas, a beloved live oak tree known as "Jolene," estimated to be around 400 years old, is set to be relocated as part of a road expansion project costing nearly $1 million. Officially named the Old Stagecoach Heritage Oak Tree, Jolene's trunk measures 1.3 meters in diameter and is considered a historical treasure by locals. However, its proximity to the road has raised safety concerns, prompting city officials to plan its move approximately 400 meters to a new "pocket park." Despite the city's assurances regarding post-relocation care, including irrigation and monthly inspections, some residents worry about the tree's survival, with over 2,000 signatures collected on a petition against the move. Preparations for the relocation began in July, involving root pruning and soil cultivation, with the actual move expected to take place in the fall and last around 30 days.
Published: Oct 01 2025, 5 pmeznews.inA new study reveals that California's Sierra Nevada glaciers, which have survived since the last Ice Age, are projected to vanish within the next 75 years due to climate change. This unprecedented melting will expose the mountain's rocky peaks for the first time in over 11,700 years, marking a significant geological moment. Researchers analyzed bedrock samples from four major glaciers—Conness, Maclure, Lyell, and Palisade—finding that the rock had been shielded from cosmic radiation, indicating it had remained covered by ice throughout the Holocene epoch. With approximately 75% of these glaciers lost since the 19th century, glaciologists predict near-total disappearance by century's end, which could disrupt local ecosystems and water supplies. Lead author Andrew Jones emphasized that this event will allow current generations to witness Yosemite's ice-free peaks, a sight unseen by humans before. The findings are published in the journal *Science Advances*.
Published: Oct 03 2025, 6 pmeznews.inAn international team of astronomers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope has discovered a rogue planet, Cha 1107−7626, growing at an unprecedented rate of 6 billion tonnes per second. Rogue planets, which are not gravitationally bound to any star, have only been identified in recent years, with estimates suggesting there could be trillions in the Milky Way. Cha 1107−7626, with a mass five to ten times that of Jupiter, is undergoing significant mass accretion, having brightened by 1.5-2 magnitudes during observed bursts in 2025. This phenomenon, classified as an EXor-type burst, indicates a unique accretion variability not typically seen in young stars. The findings raise questions about the origins of rogue planets, with researchers pondering whether they form like stars or are ejected from their birth systems. The study is published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Published: Oct 03 2025, 4 pmeznews.inA new trend known as "vabbing" is gaining traction on social media, particularly TikTok, where users claim that applying vaginal secretions to pulse points can enhance attractiveness, serving as a natural alternative to perfume. The trend was popularized by influencer Mandy Lee, who suggested using two fingers to collect fluid and apply it to areas like the neck and wrists. Proponents, including sex educator Shan Boodram, argue that vaginal fluids may contain copulins—chemical messengers that could stimulate sexual arousal, similar to pheromones in the animal kingdom. However, scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of vabbing is limited, with research indicating that while some women produce copulins, no definitive human pheromone has been identified. Despite the lack of robust scientific backing, the trend continues to flourish online, with many users sharing their experiences and promoting its supposed benefits.
Published: Sep 29 2025, 7 pmeznews.inIn a remarkable cosmic event, a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun is set to collide with the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which was first detected by astronomers on July 1, 2025. This comet, traveling at nearly double the speed of previous interstellar visitors, is estimated to have a nucleus measuring around 5.6 kilometers and a mass exceeding 33 billion tons. As it approaches the Sun, the comet has been exhibiting outgassing, confirming its classification as a comet. NASA predicts that the CME will impact 3I/ATLAS on September 25, 2025, potentially altering its tail, although significant changes to its trajectory are not expected. This event marks only the third known interstellar visitor, and while astronomers are eager to observe the effects of the CME, they face a limited window for observation before the comet enters solar conjunction, obscuring it from view.
Published: Oct 02 2025, 4 pmeznews.inThe National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), established in 1974, has processed over 180,000 reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) over the past five decades. Initially relying on a hotline and mail, NUFORC launched its website in 1995, allowing the public to report sightings online. The organization categorizes reports into tiers based on their credibility, with common misidentified objects including Starlink satellites, rocket launches, and bright planets like Venus and Jupiter. Research indicates that UFO sightings are more frequent in western states such as Arizona and Nevada, as well as in New England, attributed to factors like natural landscapes and cultural connections to UFO lore. The U.S. Department of Defense has rebranded UFOs as UAPs to encourage reporting, emphasizing the importance of understanding aerial phenomena for national security, despite the often blurry and vague nature of many reports.
Published: Sep 28 2025, 2 pmeznews.inThe Xerces blue butterfly, once native to the San Francisco Peninsula, holds the grim distinction of being the first insect species in North America to be driven to extinction by human activity. Last observed in 1941, genetic analysis conducted in 2021 confirmed its status as a unique species, dispelling doubts about its extinction. Urban development and habitat loss are believed to have contributed significantly to its decline. The butterfly's resemblance to the more common silvery blue led to confusion regarding its classification, but recent DNA sequencing has clarified its distinct identity. Conservationists now focus on protecting existing species rather than attempting to resurrect the Xerces blue, although its complete genome may offer insights for future de-extinction efforts. As the world faces an "insect apocalypse," experts stress the importance of safeguarding biodiversity, as the loss of any insect can have profound ecological consequences.
Published: Oct 03 2025, 6 ameznews.inA recent study of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has revealed an unusual abundance of metals, specifically iron and nickel, in its coma, raising questions about their origin. Discovered on July 1, 2025, the comet is traveling at nearly double the speed of previous interstellar visitors and is estimated to have a nucleus of about 5.6 kilometers in diameter and a mass exceeding 33 billion tons. As it approaches the Sun, the comet has temporarily vanished from view due to a coronal mass ejection but continues to be monitored. Researchers found that the iron/nickel ratio in 3I/ATLAS is significantly different from that of Solar System comets, with a high production rate of NiI atoms. This unexpected finding challenges existing theories about the conditions necessary for the sublimation of these metals, prompting further investigation into the comet's composition and origins.
