A mysterious visitor from the depths of space is approaching the Sun at an astonishing speed
Astronomers have discovered a mysterious object coming from outside the solar system, named '3I ATLAS.' makes it the third known interstellar visitor to humanity, after 'Oumuamua in 2017 and Borisov in 2019. The object, believed to be an interstellar comet, is hurtling toward the Sun at an incredible speed of over 210,000 km/h. It is expected to reach its closest point to the Sun in October 2025 before continuing its journey away from our solar system toward an unknown destination. What makes this new space visitor remarkable is that it might be the oldest interstellar object ever detected, according to researchers. This opens the door to significant scientific discoveries about the nature of comets that originated in distant galaxies or star systems. Within less than 24 hours of its detection, scientists confirmed that '3I ATLAS' does not originate from our solar system — a rare occurrence that raises many questions about its origin and composition. Early observations show it has a cloud of gas and ice similar to traditional comets, with an estimated size of about 24 kilometers, making it larger than any previously observed interstellar comet. As for any potential threat to Earth, NASA has reassured the public that it poses no danger, as it will pass at a safe distance of approximately 240 million kilometers from our planet. Amateur astronomers may even have the chance to observe it with simple telescopes — or possibly with the naked eye — in the coming months as it approaches the Sun and grows brighter

Morocco Signs Agreement with WIPO to Legally Protect Its Cultural Heritage
Rabat – Morocco has taken an important step to protect its rich cultural heritage. The Moroccan Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Daren Tang, the Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva on Monday. This new agreement aims to strengthen cooperation between Morocco and WIPO in the field of intellectual property, especially when it comes to copyright, related rights, and the legal protection of Moroccan cultural heritage. The agreement also allows Morocco to benefit from WIPO's expertise and introduces new legal concepts such as resale rights and reproduction rights, using the WIPOCONNECT system. One of the main highlights of the agreement is the promotion of the 'Label Maroc,' a mark of excellence that will help Morocco promote and protect its heritage internationally. The ministry said in a statement that thanks to this deal, elements of Moroccan heritage such as the caftan and zellige will be protected under international intellectual property law. This will allow Morocco to legally defend its cultural creations if they are copied or misused. Fighting cultural appropriation While UNESCO gives countries international recognition of cultural elements as part of humanity's shared heritage, WIPO provides the legal recognition that helps countries like Morocco fight back in cases of cultural appropriation or theft. This agreement means that if a country or company tries to use Moroccan traditions without permission or respect, Morocco can now take legal action with the support of WIPO. The signing of the agreement Minister Bensaid also held talks with WIPO's Director General about strengthening the partnership between Morocco and the organization. They discussed plans to exchange experiences and host expert visits to support Moroccan artists and creators. Morocco has a rich and diverse culture known around the world, from the colorful caftan and the intricate zellige, to Gnaoua music, and traditional cuisine. In recent years, however, Morocco has faced multiple cases of cultural appropriation, where foreign fashion brands or influencers used Moroccan designs, symbols, or clothing styles without giving credit or understanding their history. For example, international fashion houses have used Moroccan-inspired patterns in their collections without acknowledging their origin. In some cases, Moroccan crafts have even been marketed as products from other countries. To fight this, Morocco has been working to register its heritage legally, both nationally and internationally. This includes adding cultural elements to UNESCO's list of intangible heritage and now, through WIPO, giving them legal protection. Tags: Cultural AppropriationCultureMoroccan Culture
