420356 Praamzius is a trans-Neptunian object from the classical Kuiper belt, located in the outermost region of the Solar System. It was discovered on 23 January 2012 and named after the chief god Praamzius from Lithuanian mythology.

Venezuela's Lake Maracaibo which was once the heart of the country's oil industry has turned into a green toxic pool by constant oil spills and a blooming harmful algae.

The pollution of the lake, located about 600 kilometers (372 miles) west of the capital, Caracas, is the result of decades of excessive oil exploitation, poor maintenance of the obsolete infrastructure and a lack of waste treatment plants in the area. Tens of thousands of kilometers of pipes lie at its bottom, where crude oil leaks and system failures are frequent.

It's a structure so vast that the Statue of Liberty could fit inside - but above ground, there's almost no sign that something so enormous lies beneath.

Whether it's the result of a powerful typhoon, or simply a long-duration rain event during Japan's wet season, flooding in Toyko is an all-too-common occurrence. However, when it comes to cleaning up from major flooding events, the city has a secret weapon of sorts at its disposal that can help recovery from catastrophic flooding go much smoother.

The unifying European drive to support Ukraine against Russia and punish Moscow for attacking its neighbor is at risk of losing momentum, the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) warned on Wednesday.

An increasing number of people want to see the conflict end, even if it means getting Kiev to make concessions, the think-tank said based on an opinion poll it conducted. The survey suggested that many people, who want to be tough on Russia, are also concerned with the cost that European nations will have to pay to pursue what the authors called "justice" for Ukraine.

Very nice ceremony on ISS right now with Russian commander Anton Shkaplerov handing over "key" to NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn. "On orbit we are one crew. ISS is a symbol of friendship, a symbol of the future of exploration of space."

The interactions seemed 100 percent genuine and friendly. Shkaplerov only briefly referenced Earth-bound tensions, but said on orbit they were "space brothers and space sisters." It gives me some hope for the future.
NASA, almost certainly, will not cut ISS ties with Russia. It would be akin to violating an international treaty, and NASA won't take the first step.

Best of friends: Cat and dog meet up at same time every day to enjoy a stroll. UK / Mirror
As far as cross-species friendships go, this one between a cat and a dog proves age-old animosities can be put aside to make peace.

At the same time and the same place every day, a small dog in the UK waits next to a fence in an alleyway for a black and white cat to come down from the roof of an outbuilding, according to the UK's Mirror.
Jumping down from the fence, the cat leaps to the ground and affectionately rubs up against the dog before they go for a walk together along the alleyway.
Discovery
2012 BX85/420356 Praamzius is a trans-Neptunian object and possibly a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt. It has the second-lowest eccentricity of any TNO, after 2003 YN179. Praamzius orbits near the 3:5 resonance with Neptune, but it takes about 160 Neptune orbits (26,500 years) to make an orbit less than would be expected of an object in a true 3:5 resonance.
It was discovered on 23 January 2012, with precovery observations accepted by the Minor Planet Center dating back to December 2011, with possible precovery observations dating back to 2004 that have yet to be accepted. It was officially named on 22 February 2016 after the Lithuanian god of the sky, peace, and friendship.
Praamzius is one of the most recently discovered minor planets that have been given a numeric designation, most likely because of the large number of observations, on average about one every 10 days, since it was discovered. All of the observations, except 6 in February 2013, were made by the Mount Graham Observatory, the discovery site.
