vegetables.
Originating from Central Asia, garlic was highly appreciated for both its medicinal
properties and culinary uses.

its health benefits, which they believed increased strength and offered disease protection.

$1 billion, will start the next season in Utah as a new franchise.
This move marks a significant shift for the Coyotes, who have struggled with instability
in Arizona.

through the complexities of space law to seek compensation for damages.

risks to people and property on Earth.

introduced by new revenue streams like advertising and extra member features, it will focus on
revenue, operating margin, and engagement metrics.

to a notable increase in subscribers, adding 9.5 million new members in the quarter.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
A recent study using the dark energy spectroscopic instrument, otherwise known as DESI, suggests
that dark energy may not be as constant as previously thought.
This challenges the conventional model, which posits that dark energy, driving the universe's
expansion, remains unchanged over time.
DESI's observations, particularly of baryon acoustic oscillations, indicate potential
variations in dark energy's strength.
While these findings are preliminary, they hint at the possibility of evolving dark energy,
potentially reshaping our understanding of the cosmos.
This revelation comes as part of broader efforts to refine cosmological models, with new data
anticipated from upcoming large-scale sky surveys.
And in entertainment news, speaking of, Pearl Jam has released their 12th studio album,
Dark Matter, marking a return to the band's heavier rock roots after their 2020 experimental
album, Gigaton.
Produced by Andrew Watt, Dark Matter features 11 robust tracks, including hits like Wreckage
and the chart-topping title track.
The album was developed swiftly over three weeks at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, reflecting
a vigorous and intense creative process.
Eddie Vedder, emphasizing the album's impact, suggests playing it really loud.
Following the release, Pearl Jam is set to embark on a global tour, bringing their latest
work to fans around the world.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
