Earth Used to Have Saturn Like Rings, China Ends its International Adoption Program and an "Immortal" Creature Could Create Contagious Cancer

from Next Take Podcast

On this week’s episode of The Next Take Podcast, Mikel and Tanyka tackle three compelling stories making waves across science and global policy. They begin with a look at new research suggesting Earth may have once been encircled by rings, much like Saturn — a theory that could reshape our understanding of the planet’s early history. Next, they examine China’s recent decision to end its international adoption program, exploring the implications for adoptive families and orphaned children worldwide. Finally, they turn to a startling discovery: an 'immortal' sea creature that scientists say may be capable of spreading a contagious form of cancer — a rare phenomenon with potentially far-reaching consequences.
