Citizen scientists have discovered what they believe is one of the largest coral colonies ever documented on the Great Barrier Reef.
The coral spans approximately 111 metres in maximum length and covers an estimated area of 3,973 sq m – about half the size of a soccer field.

For a while here it seemed to be working a treat with Newcastle’s intelligence – both joint and individual – threatening to further humiliate Qarabag. But then, with a last-16 tie against either Barcelona or Chelsea assured, home concentration began wandering a little. Commendably, the Azerbaijani title holders fought back with Gurban Gurbanov’s side, and, in particular, their Colombian forward Camilo Durán, showing they can play a bit too. If the concession of nine goals over two legs is never ideal, Qarabag at least exited the Champions League on something of a minor high.

US military leaders including Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, met with executives from the artificial intelligence firm Anthropic on Tuesday to hash out a dispute over what the government will be able to do with the company’s powerful AI model. Hegseth gave Dario Amodei, the Anthropic CEO, until the end of the day Friday to agree to the department’s terms or face penalties, Axios reported.
Anthropic, which presents itself as the most safety-forward of the leading AI companies, has been mired in weeks of disagreement with the Pentagon over how the military is allowed to use its large language model, Claude. US defense officials have pushed for unfettered access to Claude’s capabilities, while Anthropic has reportedly resisted allowing its product to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons systems that can use AI to kill people without human input. The Department of Defense (DoD) has integrated Claude into its operations, but has threatened to sever the relationship over what its top brass perceives as roadblocks erected by Anthropic.

There’s something timeless about trains.
The rhythm. The anticipation. The feeling of moving forward.
In Byron Bay, even the rails run on sunlight.
A solar-powered train gliding through green landscapes under dramatic skies — old soul, new energy.
I captured these moments with my Insta360 Ace Pro 2, chasing contrast, texture, and perspective.
Color. Black and white. Movement. Stillness.
Empty seats waiting for stories.
Tracks stretching toward somewhere unknown.
Photography isn’t just about what you see.
It’s about what you feel when you press the shutter.
This camera will soon travel with me across different landscapes.
Different tracks.
Same curiosity. Same discipline. Same hunger to document the journey.
Because every great path begins long before the destination.
Life The Battlefield. 🚆🌅🔥
