Welsh island announced as first dark sky sanctuary in Europe

1 month ago Wales Online

A remote Welsh island has been announced as the first dark sky sanctuary in Europe. Ynys Enlli, or Bardsey Island, off the coast of the Llyn Peninsula in north Wales, has received International Dark Sky Sanctuary certification by the International Dark Skies Association (IDA). International Dark Sky Sanctuaries are typically situated in very remote locations that have very few nearby threats to the quality of their dark night skies. A sanctuary differs from a Dark Sky Park or Reserve because it is typically more remote. Eryri National Park is already an official International Dark Sky Reserve, with more than 2,000 square km of protected terrain, along with the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Covid most likely leaked from lab in China, new US study concludes

The Covid-19 virus is most likely to have originated from a laboratory leak in China, a US government report has concluded. Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Jake Sullivan, national security adviser, said the US intelligence community was split on the question. “Some elements of the intelligence community have reached conclusions on one side, some on the other, and a number have said they just don’t have enough information to be sure,” he said. He added that the Biden administration had “directed repeatedly every element of our intelligence community to put effort and resources on getting to the bottom of this question", before noting that "right now there is not a definitive answer to emerge from the intelligence community". Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of Britain’s MI6 foreign intelligence agency, believes the pandemic was caused by an accidental leak from a Chinese laboratory, reports The Telegraph.

C-NS, Liverpool girls basketball to meet for sectional Class AA title – Eagle News Online

Next Saturday night at SRC Arena, the Northstars will attempt to keep the sectional Class AA championship away from a Warriors side that beat C-NS twice in the regular season. Unlike the Maroons, C-NS was able to spread its production around. It all traced back to when the Black Knights’ leading scorer, Amya McLeod, picked up her second foul less than five minutes into the game. Wingate wasn’t alone, though, as everyone in a Liverpool uniform swarmed whoever had the ball for the Black Knights, creating easy scoring opportunities on the other end. Now Liverpool hopes to repeat the 70-63 and 55-37 wins it earned over C-NS earlier this winter and, by doing so, claim its first sectional title since 2008.
