Dunluce Castle

 Dunluce Castle, perched dramatically on the edge of a basalt cliff on the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland, has a storied past dating back to the 13th century. Originally built by the McQuillan family, it later became the stronghold of the powerful MacDonnell clan. The castle's location made it a strategic fortification, but its precarious position also led to part of it collapsing into the sea during a fierce storm in 1639. Dunluce was eventually abandoned in the 17th century, leaving a hauntingly beautiful ruin behind. Today, it is a captivating tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the North Atlantic and a glimpse into Northern Ireland's medieval history.


ڈنلوس کیسل

 ڈنلوس کیسل، شمالی آئرلینڈ کے انٹریم ساحل پر بیسالٹ چٹان کے کنارے پر ڈرامائی طور پر قائم ہے، اس کا ماضی 13 ویں صدی کا ہے۔ اصل میں میک کویلن خاندان کے ذریعہ تعمیر کیا گیا تھا، یہ بعد میں طاقتور میک ڈونل قبیلے کا گڑھ بن گیا۔ قلعے کے محل وقوع نے اسے ایک تزویراتی قلعہ بنا دیا، لیکن اس کی ناقص پوزیشن کی وجہ سے 1639 میں ایک شدید طوفان کے دوران اس کا کچھ حصہ سمندر میں گر گیا۔ آج، یہ سیاحوں کی توجہ کا مرکز ہے، جو شمالی بحر اوقیانوس کے شاندار نظارے اور شمالی آئرلینڈ کی قرون وسطی کی تاریخ کی ایک جھلک پیش کرتا ہے۔

liquid water discovered on Mars This is the first clear evidence of liquid water, not just frozen ice, discovered on Mars. A groundbreaking discovery published in Science has confirmed that Mars once had liquid water, offering new insights into the planet’s climate and potential for supporting life.  Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s Curiosity rover identified ancient "wave ripples" in rocks at the Gale Crater region, dating back 3.7 billion years. These ripples, formed by wind and water, indicate the presence of a shallow, open-air lake about 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep.  The discovery highlights a time when Mars had a warmer climate and a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining liquid water — a critical ingredient for life as we know it. This revelation has far-reaching implications for understanding Mars' habitability and planning future missions.  The presence of liquid water raises the possibility that microbial life once thrived on the planet. Additionally, remna...
