Murales del Borgo San Giuliano in Rimini, Italy

Atlas Obscura | positive | Published: 16:00 Aug 14, 2026 (Eastern)

Borgo San Giuliano in Rimini, Italy, originally founded around the year 1000 as a fishermen's quarter, is famous for its tradition of painted murals. When the city council proposed demolishing the neighborhood in 1979, locals organized the first 'Festa de' Borg' to defend their identity and invited Rimini-based artists to paint iconic local figures on house walls. Subsequent festivals featured murals depicting daily life, trades, local traditions, and a dedicated tribute to the late film director Federico Fellini starting in 1994. While some early murals have been lost to time, surviving artworks and vintage photos continue to tell the story of the neighborhood from the 1900s to the present day.

Astronomers Discover an Entirely New Type of Object: a “Black Hole Star”

Futurism | neutral | Published: 15:40 Aug 14, 2026 (Eastern)

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a new type of object known as a "black hole star," designated MoM-BH*-1. Described in a study published in *Nature*, the glowing red object is 100,000 times more massive than the Sun, formed less than 700 million years after the Big Bang, and is powered by a central black hole devouring matter rather than nuclear fusion. Lead author Rohan Naidu and his team identified the object after running simulations showing that a dense layer of hydrogen could explain its unique brightness drop-off and overpowering energy release. The finding suggests that previously unexplained "little red dots" observed in the early universe may also be black hole stars.
