Zammit Family House In Australia Refuses To Settle For $33 Million

Jul 13 2023

An Australian family home belonging to Diane and David Zammit currently sits in the middle of a build-development near Quakers Hill after having refused to settle for up to $33 million.

Australia’s 7News reported how the home sits alone on 5 acres of land and is estimated to be worth $33 million.

The property owners surnames are Zammit, and given the massive population of Maltese living in Australia, it wouldn’t be much of a leap to at least assume the descent of the inhabitants.

The home is situated at The Ponds, about a 40-minute drive from the centre of Sydney.

The Daily Mail spoke with Diane Zammit, who said that the neighbourhood used to be farmland dotted with little brick homes and cottages when her family moved in 17 years ago.

Neil Agius Will Try The Swim Again

Jul 13 2023

Ultra-endurance athlete and clean seas activist Neil Agius plans to reattempt breaking the open water swim world record after being forced to abandon the challenge last month.

Agius expressed his determination during an intimate Q&A session, stating that it is only a matter of time before he tries again.

While he has yet to decide on the specifics of the new attempt, he has already scouted potential routes using Google Maps.

Agius voluntarily abandoned his previous world record swim when he encountered a swarm of jellyfish that caused severe pain and swelling.

After nearly four hours of enduring multiple stings and unsuccessful attempts to continue, he decided it was safest to call off the swim. Reflecting on his decision, Agius admitted struggling to come to terms with it initially, as his entire life had revolved around preparing for the challenge.

The challenging experience with jellyfish has fueled Agius’ environmental activism, and he plans to expand his efforts by targeting decision-makers globally. He aims to raise awareness and encourage governments to sign and implement the United Nations Treaty of the High Seas, which focuses on ocean preservation and the establishment of marine protected areas.

In the coming weeks, Agius will announce further initiatives to promote his cause. He also enjoys the support of several sponsors and organizations, including Atlas Insurance, VisitMalta, and his own NGO, Wave of Change Malta. Despite the setbacks, Agius remains resolute in his pursuit of the open water swim world record and his commitment to protecting the oceans.

James Webb Telescope Celebrates Birthday With New Images

Jul 13 2023

Well, sort of. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has completed its first year of science operations, delivering unprecedented views of the cosmos from our solar system to distant galaxies.

To mark this milestone, NASA has released an image captured by Webb of a small star-forming region in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.

This image showcases the telescope’s ability to peer through dust clouds and capture light from far reaches of the universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe in just one year. With each new image, scientists are empowered to ask and answer questions that were once unimaginable.

The telescope is a testament to American innovation and international collaboration, with thousands of dedicated individuals contributing to its success.

The featured image provides an intricate close-up of a star-forming region located 390 light-years away, allowing for detailed observations without any obstructing foreground stars.

The image reveals approximately 50 young stars, some similar in mass to the Sun or smaller. The darkest regions represent dense dust cocoons where protostars are still forming. The image also showcases large bipolar jets of molecular hydrogen, symbolized in red, which occur when a star bursts through its cosmic dust envelope.

Webb’s image of Rho Ophiuchi sheds light on a brief phase in the life cycle of stars, giving scientists a clearer understanding of the beginnings of stellar stories. Some stars in the image exhibit shadows indicating the presence of protoplanetary disks, offering a glimpse into the potential formation of future planetary systems.

The James Webb Space Telescope’s accomplishments in its inaugural year have laid the foundation for groundbreaking scientific discoveries and the search for habitable worlds, solidifying NASA’s role as a leader in the exploration of the universe.
