A  Jul 3, 2021   OUR AMAZING WORLD UAE's Hope Mars orbiter spots elusive aurora on red planet Image source: Emirates Mars Mission The United Arab Emirates' Hope Mars mission made its first major discovery just a couple of months after arriving at the red planet. It was able to observe a very tricky aurora that scientists have struggled to study for decades.    Scientists know that Earth's auroras are tied to the planet's global magnetic field and are triggered by charged particles from the sun. But the situation is a little different at Mars, where scientists have observed three types of auroras.   The European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft and NASA's MAVEN orbiter have both observed the discrete aurora, but not very well. Compared to Hope, those missions have orbited closer to the surface of Mars and seen less of the planet at any given moment, and their instruments haven't been as powerful.   Overall, it's a very exciting find for scientists.

Recommended Link: Are you the kind of investor who wants to cash out whenever the market gets hinky? By "hinky," I mean too high. Too volatile. Too far out of line with the normal P/E ratios and other key metrics. I can't blame you if you want to run to cash. It sometimes makes good sense. Cash not only gives you a feeling of safety and security, but it also provides you with investment capital to use when the market bottoms out. As the old saying goes, "Nobody ever went broke taking a profit." But this time is different. Because when the next crisis comes — and I believe it's coming soon! — cash will be at the center of the storm. Until you watch it here, do yourself a favor: Don't rely on the "safety" of cash. HEALTH & WELLNESS Even nutritious foods may be harmful in large quantities A good deal of healthy-eating advice comes down to a simple premise: moderation in all things. That's true even for healthy foods, such as cruciferous veggies, fish, and avocados.   While most people can benefit from upping their intake of healthy foods, it's possible to overdo it by eating certain foods over and over again, most days of the week.   Here are nine healthy foods you shouldn't overeat — and why.

NEED FOR SPEED The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is an absolute beast Image Source: Road Show Mercedes recently released the 2021 AMG GT Black Series and the car not only looks wild, but it performs like an absolute beast.    The wicked high performance car has a scary and tough look to match, as Mercedes gave it a gruff exterior that makes it look like the car drove straight out of hell. The car has a wicked back wing, fierce front grill, and a rugged design in between. But the car doesn't just look mean, it is down right evil.    A whopping 720 horsepower coupled with an insanely fast aero package make this car hard to handle. The car features a twin-turbo V8 engine that purrs like nothing you've ever heard before and allows the car to hit 60 mph in an impressive 3.1 seconds.    What other performance stats and features does this insane car have and what does it look like on the track?  More Automotive Headlines   The Toyota Land Cruiser just got a huge makeover Why isn't the EV industry keeping consumers with disabilities in mind?
