Far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson came under fire after appearing on prime-time Israeli television and accusing both Israel and the US of betraying democracy, calling Israel "probably the most violent country in the world" and saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dragged President Donald Trump into the war with Iran.

The team located it in the ventral premotor cortex, a section of the frontal lobe.

Don Gurnett, the principal investigator for the Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument on NASA's Cassini spacecraft, spent decades turning the electromagnetic noise of the outer planets into something a human ear could parse. The Saturn file -- a translation of radio emissions associated with the planet's auroras -- sounds less like a planet than like a haunted choir. Rising whistles. Descending moans. A texture that anyone who has watched a horror film recognizes instantly, even though no one designed it to sound that way. Read more
