When stone tools were found in a southeast England riverbed in the 1920s, they were moved to The British Museum in London. The wetlands that serve as their nesting and breeding sites are protected in Mexico, but that hasn’t stopped pollution and the impact of the climate crisis from creeping in. This strategy allowed him to take intimate portraits.įlamingos live in extreme environments that would irritate most animals. To prevent the birds from panicking and abandoning their colony, he developed a slow approach, including sitting in his boat from dawn until nightfall. His new book, “Flamingo,” collects the stunning photos he captured over several years. The next time the rocket rolls out to the launchpad in August, it’s expected that it will finally venture into space.Ĭonservation photographer Claudio Contreras Koob has been fascinated by flamingos since he was 4 years old, watching colonies gather in the lagoons behind his house on the Yucatán Peninsula. The rocket will roll back inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida next week, and engineers will fix the leak and prepare for launch. Some issues cropped up during the crucial prelaunch test - including a hydrogen leak that nearly called it to a halt - but the Artemis team persevered and fully fueled the rocket for the first time. The 322-foot-tall (98-meter-tall) stack successfully made it through its latest attempt at final-stage testing, which NASA refers to as the wet dress rehearsal, on Monday. The fourth time was the charm for the Artemis I mega moon rocket. A team of 40 rowers will take the ship through waterways that their ancestors once used 1,400 years ago. The keel of the ship has already been laid, using authentic Anglo-Saxon tools and techniques, and its decorated sides should grace the water in spring 2024. Now, The Sutton Hoo Ship’s Company charity is bringing the vessel back to life and reconstructing a full-scale ship that will be rowed across England’s rivers once more. Only orderly rows of rivets and impressions in the dirt mark where the 90-foot-long (27.4-meter-long) boat once sat in the sandy soil. The “ghost” ship that served as the burial vessel for an Anglo-Saxon warrior king in the seventh century has fascinated visitors to Sutton Hoo for decades since it was found inside this ceremonial mound. Now, another intrepid team wants to piece together the one item that has never been restored.
