Round discs of barren dirt called "fairy circles" have been puzzling scientists and poking at people's imaginations for a long time. What causes these mysterious formations? They're not the only natural phenomenon that can produce round, repeated bare spots in a landscape, but the strongly ordered pattern between fairy circles is unusual even among similar phenomena. Fairy circles were previously spotted only in the arid lands of Southern Africa’s Namib Desert and the outback of Western Australia. But a new study has used artificial intelligence to identify vegetation patterns resembling fairy circles in hundreds of new locations across 15 countries on three continents. This could help scientists understand fairy circles and their formation on a global scale. Or, they could remain a mystery, which is just as fun. |
A hero ...
Hundreds of young people with disabilities are learning at a new university founded by 2016 CNN Hero of the Year Jeison Aristizábal. Growing up with cerebral palsy in one of the poorest areas of Cali, Colombia, Aristizábal pushed himself to defy society’s expectations. He has dedicated his life to bringing therapy, education, and support to other young people with disabilities in his community so they can realize their potential. Since his win in 2016, his organization, Asodisvalle, has expanded in big ways. With his prize money and donations, Aristizábal and his organization purchased the land where they built a much larger rehabilitation center equipped with new technology and more medical tools for all the children’s needs. They’ve grown from helping some 400 young people to more than 1,000 today. Along with specialized therapies, his center provides students with free education and a host of programs, including dance, sports, music, and even job skills for older students.

When I come here I always know I'll read about something good happening in the world. That's such a relief, Jacki. It gives hope and energy to go on and know we are strong enough to cope with all challenges. "Problems" (I love the collage!) can be solved if we work together.
Thanks, Jacki!
