Super-Earth in the Habitable Zone: Astronomers have found a new "super-Earth" named TOI-715 b, located about 137 light-years away. This planet is about 1.5 times the size of Earth and lies in the "conservative" habitable zone of its star, meaning it could potentially have conditions suitable for liquid water, a key factor for life. Further research will focus on whether the planet has an atmosphere and could support life. ("On NASA's official site, you can take a look at the planet's visualization.)

How do criminalists identify and preserve imprints at a crime scene? To identify imprints at a crime scene, criminalists carefully follow these steps: Spotting: They visually search for footprints, tire marks, or tool imprints using special lighting. Preserving: Imprints are shielded from damage, and tools like electrostatic lifting devices or casting materials are used to capture them. Photographing: Detailed photos are taken with scales for measurement. Lifting: For flat surfaces, powders or adhesive tapes lift the imprint, while chemicals like luminol reveal hidden marks. Analysis: The preserved prints are analyzed and compared to known items, helping link suspects to the scene.
