Two cars were stolen from a Southwest Ranches home, and the owners now want their cars back. A Rolls Royce Cullinan was captured on surveillance video being taken out of the home, Sunday. “One vehicle was stolen at about 1:30 a.m. and the second one at about 3 a.m.,” said Linda, a spokesperson for the victims. “That is a video of the Cullinan being backed out from the driveway.”Linda said that a red Tesla pulled up to one of the gates around 1:30 a.m.“We believe the red Tesla dropped off the perpetrators, they jumped the walls, stole one vehicle and then decided to come back an hour and a half later and take the second vehicle,” Linda said.At least one man jumped the home’s security wall, knew there were cameras, and at one point, was seen looking right at them. “There’s a concrete wall, there’s gates, there are sec...

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 17:36:20 GMT

U.S. and European officials do not believe Vladimir Putin intends to transfer tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus anytime soon, according to three senior officials involved in diplomatic conversations about Moscow’s recent threat.Putin announced on Saturday that he planned to send the battlefield weapons across the border to store in a facility that is under construction and would be ready in July. If such a shipment happened, it would mark the first time Russia’s nuclear weapons have existed outside of the country since the 1990s.Putin did not clarify when he intended to send the weapons, but the Western officials said they do not have any evidence to suggest Putin is going to move forward with the shipments in the near future.

Water is trapped in glass beads on the moon’s surface, lunar samples show

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 17:36:20 GMT

(CNN) — Trillions of pounds of water may be strewn across the moon, trapped in tiny glass beads that could have formed when asteroids struck the lunar surface, according to a new study.The findings, laid out in a study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, were pieced together by scientists in China who analyzed the first lunar soil samples to be returned to Earth since the 1970s.The research points to an answer for a question scientists have been pondering for years as they’ve attempted to pin down exactly how water is stored on the moon — especially in regions outside the lunar poles, where water ice may exist in greater abundance.Essentially, the study fills in some gaps in a theory about a lunar water cycle.“To sustain a water cycle at the surface of the Moon, there should be a hydrated layer (reservoir) at depth in lunar soils,” according to the study. “However, finding this water reservoir ...
