Bright Meteorite spotted in Brazil skies

A meteorite that entered the Brazilian atmosphere last night turned the night into day. The meteorite was spotted in the Brazilian states of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais. According to the Brazilian Asteroid Monitoring Network, the meteorite’s flare was bright as it took longer to splinter than usual.

Experts are trying to determine the points where the pieces of the meteorite fell. It is believed that fragments of the meteorite may have fallen in one of the cities of Aguai, Mogi Mirim in Sao Paulo or Poços de Caldas in Minas Gerais.

US Flag Raised Again at Embassy in Damascus After 12 Year

0

 

The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.

US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.

No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.

The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
