Long lost Moon-forming planet formed in the inner Solar System, new analysis shows
LONDON — A long-lost planet that helped create the Moon may have formed much closer to the Sun than scientists once thought, according to new research.Scientists have discovered that Theia, the ancient planet believed to have helped form the Moon, most likely originated from the inner Solar System.For decades, the leading explanation for the Moon’s birth has been that Theia struck the early Earth about four and a half billion years ago.Debris from that collision formed the Moon, with material from Theia ending up in both bodies.The idea, known as the giant impact theory, has been discussed since the first Apollo samples were analysed more than 50 years ago.However, Theia disappeared billions of years ago, leaving scientists no direct chemical evidence to support the hypothesis. Its...

Mexico's Fatima Bosch, who walked out on organisers, crowned Miss Universe
BANGKOK — Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch has been crowned the new Miss Universe in Thailand on Friday — marking the end of an exceptionally scandal filled pageant season.The 25-year-old contestant had earlier in November walked out of a pageant event after an official publicly berated her in front of dozens of contestants and threatened to disqualify those who supported her.A week after, two judges resigned, with one of them accusing organisers of rigging the competition.Miss Universe, founded in the US, is one of the longest-running beauty pageants on the planet. The recent controversies, analysts say, underscore the cultural and strategic differences between the pageant's Thai and Mexican owners.The pageant saw Thailand's Praveenar Singh place second while the rest of the top...

Philippines rallies behind Ahtisa Manalo ahead of Miss Universe finale
MANILA — As Ahtisa Manalo prepares to step onto the Miss Universe stage for Sunday’s final, millions of Filipinos back home are bracing for a moment that carries far more weight than a global beauty competition. For the pageant-crazed nation, her performance is a matter of pride, identity, and national spirit. At 28, Manalo represents a country where beauty contests—big and small—form part of mainstream culture. “In the Philippines, people stop and tune in, usually for three things: boxing, basketball and beauty pageants,” she said during training in Manila. “Beauty queens are usually sources of stories and inspiration.” Pageantry in the Philippines is not limited to the glitz of international stages. Hundreds of contests unfold year-round in schools, local halls and...

Paris court blocks auction of earliest-known calculator
PARIS — One of the world's first calculating machines will not go to auction as scheduled in France, after a Paris court provisionally blocked the historic item from being exported.Auction house Christie's has confirmed it will not proceed with bidding for the machine La Pascaline, developed by the French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1642.Valuations suggested the machine could fetch €2 to 3m (£1.7m to £2.6m).
