The species, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, uses a rare process known as radiosynthesis #Interesting Read More...
Drones illuminated the Night Sky of Egypt during the Grand Egyptian Museum’s Opening Ceremony
Drones were a major component of the spectacular light show that illuminated the night sky of Giza during the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) opening ceremony on November 1, 2025.
The drones were precisely synchronized to form large, three-dimensional images and figures in the sky, including the iconic golden mask of King Tutankhamun, his royal chariot, the ship of King Khufu, and other ancient Egyptian treasures.
The drone display was part of a larger audiovisual production that included spectacular fireworks, lasers, and projection mapping on the museum's facade and the surrounding area, with the ancient Pyramids of Giza serving as a stunning backdrop.

Which state(s) could Kamala and Walz *realistically* try to win that she and Biden did not win in 2020 (flip from red to blue)?
#USElections
I was looking at the 2020 presidential election results the other day on Wikipedia, and based on the states that were won by a narrow margin by either candidate, most were won by Biden.
However, Trump won North Carolina by 1.35% (74,483 votes), which seems to be the most likely state Kamala and Walz could flip.
Although Florida was won by Trump by 3.36% (371,686 votes), it’s likely to remain red especially based on the 2022 governor election results.
I’m not sure how much effort the Harris campaign would/will put into Maine’s 2nd congressional district 7.44%, 27,996 votes).
By this point things are looking like more of a longshot. Trump won Ohio by 8.03% (475,669 votes).
Trump won Iowa by 8.20% (138,611 votes).
Based on this alone, it seems like only North Carolina could be where the Harris campaign could expand from 2020, but of course that would be in addition to holding the close states they won that election (Arizona, Georgia…).
Any thoughts on how the Harris campaign will proceed? Would the Harris campaign be better off with focusing all their efforts on maintaining what she and Biden won in 2020? Or would it depend how polls are trending in the next few/several weeks?
Edited to add: I completely missed mentioning Texas, my mistake. Trump had won by 5.58% (631,221 votes). Maybe if there’s a strong enough push this could be flipped?
