Hero's return for astronaut Shaun the Sheep

It was a giant leap for lamb-kind, but now he's baa-ck.

Shaun the Sheep has returned to Britain after taking part in the US space agency's (Nasa) epic mission to the Moon last year.

A model of the animated movie character was a passenger in the capsule that was blasted into orbit by the world's most powerful operational rocket.

Shaun covered almost 1.5 million miles on his lunar travels before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

Giant meatball created using woolly mammoth flesh

A mammoth meatball has been created using the resurrected flesh of the long-extinct animal.

It was produced by a cultivated meat company as part of a project trying to demonstrate the potential of growing flesh from cells without slaughtering animals.

Vow, the Australian company behind the innovation, is aiming to use cells from unconventional species to create new kinds of meat, while highlighting the link between large-scale livestock production and the destruction of wildlife and the climate crisis.

But no one has yet tasted the mammoth meatball, as the scientists behind it say they would have “no idea how our immune system would react when we eat it.”

The company has already investigated the potential of more than 50 species, including alpaca, buffalo, crocodile, kangaroo, peacocks and different types of fish.

Greek security forces foil terrorist attack against Jewish Synagogue – Two Pakistanis were arrested

The Greek Police and the National Intelligence Service (NIS) proceeded to dismantle a terrorist network in Athens in coordination with overseas intelligence which was planning strikes against carefully selected targets in Greek territory, including a Jewish synagogue. Based on information collected and processed by the National Intelligence Service, coordinated operations of the EYP and the Anti-Terrorist Service (D.A.E.B.) were carried out in various areas of the territory.

Authorities arrested two Pakistanis, 29 and 27 years old, as accomplices of the terrorist -leader, who was active abroad, as the “mastermind” of the network.

According to what emerged, their aim was not only to harm innocent citizens but also to undermine the sense of security in the country, simultaneously damaging its institutions and threatening its international relations.
