Dua Lipa cut a racy figure in a black sheer lace dress as she attended the GCDS show at Milan Fashion Week on Thursday. The singer’s frock exposed her black lingerie and she paired the look with chunky heels, adding inches to her height.

Her outfit featured rips down the legs and she also carried a pink studded handbag. Star-studded: Dua Lipa (left) cut a racy…

A heroic forest guard who hauled a baby elephant onto his back because it was too weak to walk has revealed how he managed to lift it. Despite the creature’s cute appearance, it was heavier than guard Palanichamy Sarathkumar, weighing in at more than 100kg. You can watch video at the end of the this article. The story behind the man who carried an elephant, Palanichamy Sarathkumar, is currently working as a forest guard and is stationed near Mettupalayam. Mettupalayam is a small forested city 32 miles (50 km) from the beautiful hill station Ooty. Despite the creature’s cute appearance,…

A few months ago a group of NASA exoplanet astronomers, who are in the business of discovering planets around other stars, called me into a secret meeting to tell me about a planet that had captured their interest. Because my expertise lies in modeling the climate of exoplanets, they asked me to figure out whether this new planet was habitable – a place where liquid water might exist. These NASA colleagues, Josh Schlieder and his students Emily Gilbert, Tom Barclay and Elisa Quintana, had been studying data from TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) when they discovered what may be TESS’ first known Earth-sized planet in a zone where…

Without water, life on Earth could not exist as it does today. Understanding the history of water in the universe is critical to understanding how planets like Earth come to be. Astronomers typically refer to the journey water takes from its formation as individual molecules in space to its resting place on the surfaces of planets as “the water trail.” The trail starts in the interstellar medium with hydrogen and oxygen gas and ends with oceans and ice caps on planets, with icy moons orbiting gas giants and icy comets and asteroids that orbit stars. The beginnings and ends of…

Since time immemorial, humans around the world have gazed up in wonder at the night sky. The starry night sky has not only inspired countless works of music, art and poetry, but has also played an important role in timekeeping, navigation and agricultural practices in many traditions. For many cultures, the night sky, with its stars, planets and the Milky Way, is considered just as important a part of the natural environment as the forests, lakes and mountains below. Countless people around the world gaze at the night sky: not only amateur and professional astronomers, but also casual observers who enjoy looking up…

Billie Eilish has revealed she once felt ‘so hopeless’ because she’s a girl and would ‘cry in bed’ after falling into a ‘pit of hopelessness’. The singer, 20, recounted a time when she believed she would never perform in the way she wanted to, due to female representation in the music industry. She made the tragic confession after being featured by BBC 100 Women in its 2022 list, as part of a season of content celebrating 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world. Tragic: Billie Eilish has revealed she once felt ‘so hopeless’ because she’s a girl and would ‘cry in bed’…

Dua Lipa showed off her chic sense of style as she stepped out with Mark Ronson in New York City on Tuesday.

For Luffy, facing off against Shanks may be necessary for becoming Pirate King. If it is, then their confrontation could be the biggest in the series. There’s a lot of debate about what the endgame of One Piece will look like, especially how Straw Hat Luffy’s reunion with Red-Haired Shanks might turn out. A lot has changed between them in the 12 years since they last interacted, so there are many things to consider. On the one hand, Luffy and Shanks have a strong bond and a promise to meet again when the former becomes a great pirate, which he has. On…

She accessorized with a pair of brown shades, hoop earrings, and a metallic silver bag…

Kaidō and Orochi each got exactly what was coming to them after what they did to Kozuki Oden. The late shogun should finally be able to rest easy. One Piece’s Kaidō and Orochi did some awful things during their takeover of Wano. Not only did they ravage the land and break the spirits of many of its citizens, but they humiliated and killed its greatest warriors, including Kozuki Oden. In fact, they made an especially big display of killing Wano’s shogun by boiling him alive in oil for an hour and then shooting him in the head. Fate had its way of…

There are several points throughout One Piece that seem to suggest Nami has Haki. Here’s a look at the navigator’s potential to gain this rare skill. Many One Piece fans believe that Nami has the potential to learn and use Haki. This would certainly be beneficial to the Straw Hat Navigator, but it’s also a little debatable whether she’ll get it. On the one hand, gaining Haki would improve her in all sorts of ways and make her a much more valuable asset to the crew. On the other hand, awakening the ability is rare, and it takes time to develop and…

When Wano wraps up for the anime, there may be some filler content leading into the next major arc. Here’s what that filler could look like. With the Straw Hat Pirates finally out of Wano, it seems as though they have some time before they reach their next destination. Toei Animation might take this gap in time to tell some non-canon stories. However, the precise content of those stories is difficult to imagine. Following Wano is the final saga of One Piece. Filler was one thing when the series was closer to its midway point, but things are different now. The Straw Hats…

The Straw Hat Pirates are going to need some serious new power-ups going into the final saga. Here are the ones who need them the most. Ever since the Straw Hat Pirates entered the New World, only half of them have shown off or received significant power-ups: Luffy has Gear Five, Zoro has Enma, Nami has Zeus, Sanji has his Raid Suit and genetic modification, and Robin has her Demonio Fleur. The rest of the crew hasn’t developed any great new skills or abilities that they didn’t already have after their two years of training. Now that One Piece is in its final…

Dr. Vegapunk has presented a theory on the origin of Devil Fruits, but it still doesn’t explain how the Fruits with more abstract powers came to be. WARNING The following contains spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069, “All Things Are Brought Into This World With Hope,” by Eiichiro Oda, Stephen Paul and Vanessa Satone, available in English from Viz Media. Chapter 1069 of One Piece, “All Things Are Brought Into This World With Hope,” was surprisingly enlightening. Dr. Vegapunk presented his theory that Devil Fruits came about because of desires to have certain powers. If that’s the case, however, then people must have some pretty…

Introduction (Image credit: Science Photo Library/Getty) In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, around 13.7 billion years ago, the universe formed. We still don’t know the exact conditions under which this happened, and whether there was a time before time. But using telescope observations and models of particle physics, researchers have been able to piece together a rough timeline of major events in the cosmos’s life. Here we take a look at some of our universe’s most important historical moments, from its infancy to its eventual death. The Big Bang (Image credit: Shutterstock) It all starts at the Big Bang, which…

Just how strange would the world be if it were flat? A flat-Earth would look very different from space. (Image credit: Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library via Getty) Earth — the blue marble — is our spherical home. But what if Earth were flat? After all, some people, called flat-earthers, truly believe in this retrograde idea. How would everyday life function? Would it function at all? We explore how much of an oddball, or “oddslice” Earth would be if it were flat and whether there are any advantages to living on a strange disk with the sun and moon rotating overhead like a…

The universe may be flat, but could still be shaped like a doughnut, weird patterns in leftover light from the Big Bang suggest.An image of the cosmic microwave background as taken by the Planck satellite. The size of fluctuations in the CMB suggest the universe is flat, but new research suggests it could still be twisty. (Image credit: ESA/HFI/LFI Consortia) The universe could, in fact, be a giant doughnut, despite all of the evidence suggesting it’s as flat as a pancake, new research suggests. Strange patterns found in echoes of the Big Bang could be explained by a universe with a…
