An important stage in the search for a submersible
A submersible that disappeared over the weekend while diving into the wreck of the Titanic may have been only a few hours of oxygen left, as rescue teams continue their desperate search in the North Atlantic for the missing ship. The area is twice as wide as Connecticut and more than two miles deep.
The submersible, known as the Titan, contains a finite amount of oxygen, which in no way produces more. Once it is consumed, the five passengers on board will have no air to breathe. The ship is estimated to have departed on Sunday with a supply of fresh air for around 96 hours for a journey that should have taken two and a half hours.
Noises heard from beneath the waves of the North Atlantic yesterday and Tuesday became the focus of the search: Remote-controlled vehicles were searching for the source of the sound and A team of experts is examining the noises to determine if they may have come from the missing vessel, according to the US Coast Guard.
Ukraine’s slow progress
Ukrainian leaders are try to lower your expectations for the country’s counter-offensive, now in its third week, said the fight to drive out the Russian army would be an uphill battle, not a flash offensive. Ukraine has so far recaptured only a handful of small villages in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, with progress often measured in yards, not miles.
Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, said yesterday: “Some people want some kind of Hollywood movie, but things don’t really work out that way. He emphasizes that he remains confident and thinks expectations of quick success are unrealistic.
Military analysts have said it would take weeks or months, not days, to gauge the success of Ukraine’s offensive, warning that the war would be protracted and bloody. But anticipation of the campaign, including among its allies, was built as Ukraine spent months amassing powerful Western-supplied weapons and training tens of thousands of troops for the campaign.
Concerns: Officials in Kiev and some of their supporters abroad fear that if the long-anticipated counter-offensive doesn’t yield substantial gains, Ukraine’s Western allies could lose patience as poured billions of dollars into the war and pressured Kyiv to reach a negotiated agreement to leave Ukraine. Russia holds vast territories to be conquered.
estimate: Rebuilding Ukraine’s dilapidated infrastructure will be expensive at least $400 billionaccording to Ukrainian economists and officials.

A secret in their location
Every autumn, monarch butterfly fly more than 2,000 miles from Canada to central Mexico. Less than a third survived the trip. The researchers found a common trait in its creators: The edges of their orange and black wings tend to have slightly more white spots.
Andy Davis, a biologist at the University of Georgia, said: ‘Nobody even knows what these spots are for. “Suddenly, it seems like they really matter.”
The working theory of the researchers is that the points reduce drag by creating heating and cooling pockets on the edge of the wing, which can create very small updrafts of air. The difference is very small: The successful butterflies were only about 3% brighter. But scientists suspect that slightly reducing drag can still improve flight performance – with potential consequences for aircraft design.
