Mazalae Mongolian Restaurant in Morton Grove, Illinois

May 29, 2024

Let’s get something out of the way: Mongolian barbecue is not Mongolian. Not even a little. It was invented in Taiwan in the early 1950s, based on Chinese cooking techniques and global ingredients, and given the name almost at random. For the small but growing population of Mongolians in the United States, restaurants with names like “Mongolian Grill” have long been a point of contention. If you want to try traditional Mongolian cuisine, there’s only a handful of restaurants...

Church of San Michele in Anacapri, Italy

May 29, 2024

The Church of San Michele, completed in 1727, is a sanctuary of Neapolitan Baroque art. The altar is an elaborate marble structure crafted by Agostino Chirola, and above it is a dramatic depiction of St. Michael the Archangel by Nicola Malinconico. But the most striking feature of the church is its floor, which is covered in a stunningly detailed mosaic by Leonardo Chiaiese called The Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The titular event takes place in the center of...

Chickasha Leg Lamp in Chickasha, Oklahoma

May 29, 2024

In the 1983 classic A Christmas Story, chaos breaks out in the family when Mr. Parker, the narrator’s father, receives an enormous lamp fashioned to look like a fishnet-clad leg balanced on a stiletto. More than a generation later, in November 2022, the small town of Chickasha, Oklahoma, erected a 40-foot-tall replica of the famous lamp, which rests atop a 10-foot-tall box marked “FRAGILE,” or as Mr. Parker says in the film, “Fra-gee-lay! It must be Italian.” So how did this...

Stellafane Observatory in Springfield, Vermont

May 29, 2024

Stellafane is the home of the Springfield Telescope Makers, the oldest and most active telescope-making club in the world. The club was founded by the brilliant polymath Russell W. Porter in 1920, and the pink clubhouse was built at this Vermont site in 1923. Porter suggested the name Stellafane, which combines the Latin words stella and fanum to mean “Shrine to the Stars.” It’s the site of the annual Stellafane Convention, a gathering of the nation’s amateur astronomy community....

Plate Tectonics Has a Surprise Silver Lining

May 29, 2024

I imagine that exceedingly few people like to be unexpectedly jostled about by an earthquake. Whether you’re in an area known to be frequented by modestly powerful temblors, or whether you’re chilling out somewhere that isn’t especially prone to them—say, New York or New Jersey—it can be a disquieting experience. Earthquakes are also famously destructive: If they strike in just the right place, with sufficient shaking, they can ruin villages, towns, even cities and, should they trigger a tsunami,...

Meet The Black Cowboys Who Shaped Colorado...

May 29, 2024

Willie Kennard wasn’t sure what to expect when he walked into the saloon across the street. He knew just two things: One, there was a wanted murderer inside. And, two, it was his job to arrest the man. The year was 1874. Kennard had just ridden into Yankee Hill, Colorado—a small mining outpost near modern-day Idaho Springs—to inquire about a job posting for town marshall. But as soon as he did, the men hiring for the role burst out...

May 28, 2024

While many in the United States marveled at the powerful aurora borealis in mid-May, scientists were watching the event anxiously and trying to work fast. They needed to notify a lot of people to hunker down and prepare for potential damage, even danger, that was coming. They had to ensure power grids wouldn’t surge. They needed to protect satellites. They even needed to tell astronauts on the International Space Station to climb back down into ships. “You don’t want...

Catch the Summer Camp Vibe With Some...

May 28, 2024

Summer is here and we are all for recapturing the vibe of the season from our childhoods, when school was out, the days were long and sunny, and the nights were perfect for campfires, storytelling, and s’mores. Of course, not everyone can head out to the nearest idyllic cabin beside a lake, or pack a tent and disappear into the woods. If you’re stuck at your desk, you can still escape, for a quarter-hour or so, into some of...

This story was originally published on The Conversation. It appears here under a Creative Commons license. If humans and mosquitoes had a battle at the end of the world, who would win?
